Since im leaving tomorrow i thought i would ask some last minute question(s) plural becauase im sure i'll think of more as the day goes by. First one at MGM Indy Stunt show worth it for a first time. The thousands of times i been, never have i gone on it.
First off it is a choreographed show that is enjoyed by scores of people daily and I will admit up front that I am not one of those. I saw it once and that was sufficient.
If you saw the 'Raiders' movie then you will immediately recognize the stunts performed such as the large rock ball rolling towards Indy and the spikes that come out of the ground as well as the final climactic fight scenes involving the truck and the plane. If you are a huge Indy fan then that would certainly be a plus towards your enjoyment of the show.
It is cleverly done and rather entertaining but in my opinion, pales in comparison to the Light, Motors show which is more thrilling and less "campy".
The Indy show is rather dated and stunts today are so technically advanced (ie; the latest Die Hard movie) that the ones at this show seem pretty mild.
If you have younger kids, they would like it, I have no doubt about that and I hear all the time about how thrilling it was from the 8 to 12 year old set.
If you do not have to wait in line for any length of time, this may be something you'll want to try before it is replaced (as it is rumored to be in the not too distant future) just so you can see for yourself. But if it doesn't sound like something you are really all that interested in and the wait tiimes are high then you really wouldn't miss a whole heck of a lot if you don't go.
It's a good show. If you've never seen it, its worth a visit
I've seen it twice and enjoyed it both times, I was with different people each time so the second time I was with people whjo had never seen it. I'm probably going to skip it next trip since I havent seen lights, motor action and I'm going to see it instead. I would recoment seeing it at least once.

I absolutely love the Indy show and its a must see for me everytime I go. Of course I'm a huge Indiana Jones fan in the first place so seeing him dodge the spears coming out of the ground or outrunning that bolder get me everytime.
It's worth it just to watch Indy for 20 minutes. Yummy!
I guess its all individual prefrence. Me, I think Indy has repeat value. I like it. On the other hand I I bored with LMA.
LMA for me, takes way to long to get into and get out of. And for me there are no great thrills once you have seen it the first time.
Maybe its the "acting" in Indy that keeps me comming back, but I still find it entertaing.
