“Indiana Jones." That’s how Marion Ravenwood greets our hero when he walks through the door of the Ravenwood bar in Nepal in Raiders of the Lost Ark.   That’s really all she needed to say to get the point across. Indy is a character that consistently ranks at the top, or near the top, of all-time favorite movie heroes. If a magazine or an organization conducts a list of favorite movie heroes, it’s virtually guaranteed that Indiana Jones will be in the top 10.  In fact, Indy always outranks any Star Wars character for favorite hero--yet in the world of collecting, he lives in the shadow of his cinematic big brother.   One reason for the underrated collectible market is that the Indiana Jones franchise just isn’t as “merchandise-friendly” as Star Wars.  But that doesn’t mean the Indiana Jones items--especially those related to Raiders of the Lost Ark and the Disney attractions--aren’t out there. In fact, there is quite a bit, and it’s not just limited to toys or t-shirts. That’s why this website was created.  Not only will it chronicle the extensive IHateSnakes Collection, but it will also act as a resource for others specifically interested in Raiders of the Lost Ark and the Disney attractions.  Fans will be able to visit and research the first film in the series as well as the the collectibles and merchandise associated with the movie and the Disney theme park rides and shows.  When the site is complete, fans will be able to locate and identify items and supplies to add and help preserve their own collections, join a message board that will allow them to write commentary about their favorite pieces of memorabilia, talk about what drives their passion for enjoying and collecting Indiana Jones, and even plan their trip to the Disney rides and shows that literally bring Indy to life around the world. Now, more than thirty years after Raiders of the Lost Ark was released in theaters--and eighteen-plus years after Disneyland’s Indiana Jones and the Temple of the Forbidden Eye ride first opened--fans can revisit their childhood memories...or head to the Disney theme parks and make new ones.  And they can start doing it all right here, at IHateSnakes! Thanks for joining us on this cool web adventure.  We hope you enjoy it as much as we have. - The IHateSnakes.net Team
