Of course I'll miss it, but I wonder what sort of attendance it's getting nowdays, and how much it costs to operate. Though to be fair, I'm STILL ticked off that they closed 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea... I don't care what it cost! :darnkids :lol

It is not closing. The only thing closing in Disney's Hollywood Studios is the American Idol Experience. Here's a link to Indy: WDW - Hollywood Studios
It's highly rumored that they are making space and way for Star Wars Land. Crossing my fingers. If Indy were to go, I'd rather much see a ride to the likes of Disneyland Resort (Indiana Jones Adventure).

You can always go to Under the Sea and look at the water, lol. It's the only thing left of 20,000 Leagues.

Makes sense, as that is right next door to Star Tours, and nothing they've ever had in that building has ever been terribly interesting, going back to the original attraction, the Monster Sound Show.

Actually the Maelstrom attraction in the Norway Pavilion in EPCOT Center is rumored to close so it can get the FROZEN treatment. I'm on the fence about this one because I feel Disney characters really don't belong in EPCOT Center and Maelstrom is a great attraction detailing Norway. It has a beautiful post-show and the attraction itself is nice, minus the longevity of it which isn't much. Not only that, FROZEN isn't exactly set in Norway, it's set in a fictional Kingdom that goes by Arendelle but has a lot of Norwegian features. They had used Norway as inspiration for Arendelle.
Not too long ago Disney filed notice of commencement for Epcot Norway Maelstrom Legacy Removal. What people are saying is they're getting rid of the old Fast Pass system so we'll see.

Glad it's not closing, but this thing needs updating. It's been the same show for ages.

While I agree it could use some sprucing up, that show gets to max cap every time. With the exception of the earliest showing. A lot of families that go to WDW, it's their first time, to them, that show is as good as new. But yes, so glad it isn't closing, it's a must see every visit.

I've been visiting WDW since I was a child and it's always been a mission of mine to be an extra on the show. Finally, in 2012, I managed to get picked and it was so amazing being apart of that. My 12 year old self was grinning from ear to ear the entire time. Truly an unforgettable experience.
End of an era. 
Saw it on my honeymoon back in '04.

I do love the Indy show. I've been selected for participation four times. Lol!
I'm actually surprised it's still open.
Dad: Hey kids, want to go on the Indiana Jones ride?
Kids (looking up from cell phones): Who is 'Indiana Jones'?

My wife and I were picked to participate when we went to WDW for the first time on our honeymoon
That's just bad parenting... :lol
I was JUST at Disney World, hadn't seen the show since I was 18, so almost 20 years ago... It needs a LOT of updating.
It's the same script... right down to the line something like, "You know what the Difference between you and Harrison?"
like 50 years.
They want to give an idea how movies are made, but nothing they do there is anything like how a movie is shot, especially today.
I say KEEP it Indiana Jones, but recreate a scene like in Crystal Skull with the opening to that UFO place that comes from out of the ground. They built that thing for the movie, so make another, put a green screen behind it, and have a screen showing a comp of a final shot. Have the stunt guy fall down the steps like in the movie.
Jump through all 4 movies...
start with the plane hangar scene from raiders...
Then do the mining cart scene from Indy, make a little coaster like what they shot with, with a mounted camera... show tricks like keeping the cart close to the wall so that it looks like it's moving faster on the screen...
Jump to Last Crusade with Matte paintings like at the leap of faith scene...
And again, do Crystal skull with the rising rock stairwell thing.
I couldn't sit through another "AAAAAND ACTION!" while their tiny 16 MM camera on a rolling plank shoots an entire sequence at once. "CUT!"
