If you can only pick 1 - which would you choose and why? Touring with 3 boys from ages 7 - 13

Thanks!
 
Indy, no question! LMA is hot and kinda dull and a pain to get in and out of with it's tiered seating.
 

Guess I'm in the minority but I would say LMA by far. My 8YO loved it and talked about it for weeks after our trip. Indy was cool also, but he saw both, and choose to go back to LMA a second day.
 
I think the pacing overall is better for Indiana Jones and it provides a much better story line of "shooting the scenes". The stunts at lights motors action are thrilling, high paced, and loud! However, the show suffers from lulls in the action do to the time needed to set up the different tricks. There are some great behind the scenes stuff for that show, like how they set people on fire and do car stunts, so if that is something that would interest them (the behind the scenes how they do that) it might be worth it to see this instead.
 
I'd say Indiana Jones, with all its history and character. However my brother's favorite thing in the park is LMA
 
They are about dead equal for boys that age, first time viewing, IMO.

Can't you fit both?

I would pick Indiana Jones IF you've already seen LMA. If not, I would pick LMA. Having seen both, it's almost a tie but I would prefer Indy. Maybe it's a nostalgia thing, I'm not sure. The Indy show is a little "dated" but it's a classic. I liked the car show but it's kinda' slow in between stunts and the seating is kinda uncomfortable and a pain to get in and out. I do like it though - it's interesting !!! And exciting.
 
My kids preferred LMA to Indiana Jones but it came really close. I would try and fit both in
 
Great to know! We're going in a few weeks and I was considering trying Indy out. Haven't seen it in over 30 years! Now I'm sure we'll go!!
 
Have they seen the first Indiana Jones movie? It's not required, but it does help you to understand what's going on.

I just asked my two boys who have seen both, love Indiana Jones movies, and love both of these shows. They recommend LMA.

Also, LMA is going away soon, not to return, so this may be your last time to see it. Indiana Jones may be leaving as well, but I haven't seen anything definite on that one yet.
 
I agree with one of the previous posters. While I think young boys would probably like the premise of the LMA better, the pacing of the show suffers from many "lulls" in the action. If you have to go to one I'd say Indiana Jones, but if you get the chance to go back on a day have them take in LMA as well.
 
LMA has been a fav of mine, just went last month and the acoustics were terrible. Stunts good, but could not understand any speaking in the show. I would recommend Indy.

This is only a rumor and has been for awhile, along with many other rides. Indy has been rumored for 3+ years to be leaving now. I wouldn't count a ride or show ending until Disney announces it
 
Try to do both. If you haven't seen either, LMA easily wins. The car stunts are awesome.

I'd recommend seeing LMA when it's cooler outside though. When it's the normal Florida heat, it's hot in those bleachers.

Both shows are amazing though and I would definitely try to do both
