with their parents, who allow them to visit the Hidden Temple theme park on their own where Kirk Fogg now works as a tour guide. Noah, being fascinated by the legends of the Hidden Temple, which he believes are real, wishes he could explore it on the inside, but Fogg reveals the Temple was closed to the public following an incident years earlier. Impressed by Noah's knowledge about the Temple, Fogg gives him a map he found inside. Much to Sadie's annoyance, Noah and Dudley sneak into the restricted area where the secret entrance is believed to be. Sadie tries to stop them, but accidentally steps on the trapdoor that sends them into the temple. The kids are welcomed inside the temple by none other than Olmec (Dee Bradley Baker), who was once a king. He recalls of a moment in his life, then tells them what he remembers. He planned to decree his good son, Prince Zuma, as a successor to the kingdom, when suddenly his evil son Thak and his army of Temple Guards appeared and attempted to kill Zuma and insediate Thak as king. So Olmec had no choice but to turn the entire civilization to stone. Noah believes that he, Sadie and Dudley are the only ones who can restore the kingdom back to its former glory. Olmec instructs them to find both half-pendants of life in the Room of the Ancient Warriors and the Treasure Room, but warns them of the dangers that might lurk around the temple. Once both half-pendants are found, they must be combined to unlock the Temple and then exit within three minutes, otherwise the three siblings will risk being trapped inside the Temple forever.
