Plainly and simply, that's what they kept telling me for about a month until finally I got a hold of someone a the WDW 800 number who knew what I was talking about and said that they were just opening it back up again, for the season, and gave me the schedule.
I don't have any inside knowledge on whether it's on or off, but I know that a bunch of people told me that they were a thing of the days gone by, to forget about it, plain and simple... When all was done, we were able to get in on it, and it was one of the funnest parts of our trip.
