We just got back from a long trip to WDW and I wanted to share a rumor we heard.
We we're returning from MGM on a Friendship after watching Fantasmic. Very good show. The cast member driving the boat was asking trivia questions and asking about everyone's day at the park over the loud speaker.
He then asked if everyone saw the Indiana Jones Stunt show. Then explained that he had asked because in the near future the show is closing and they're bringing the Indiana Jones ride to MGM to replace it. Of course the boatload of people applauded!
I was a bit stunned that he would announce it like that over the PA system. I, of course, read the Dis site religiously and remember reading the rumor there but nothing recent. So once the boat docked and people began to disembark I went over to him and asked if this had been officially announced. He said no but he got the info from friends working over there.
I have never ridden the ride but most people seem to love it. We took plenty of pictures when we attended another Indiana Jones Stunt Spectacular just in case.
Guess it makes sense if MGM is opening the new Auto Stunt show to replace the exsisting stunt show with something else. But I don't believe that the new stunt show opens any time soon. (2004?) I wouldn't think they would close Indy until the new show opens.
In closing, the Indiana show was packed both times we saw it.
