Also, and this is probably just a small quibble coming from me, but it seems that the show has become more politically correct. Here is a picture to show you what I mean, of a sniper plane from both "Raiders of the Lost Ark" and from the stunt show (which recently also had the same swastika imagery as in the movie):
I have no idea what that symbol in the second picture is (I do know the first, though, hence my frustration), but take a look at both pictures and I think you might notice that something is different.

Which is how it should be. I don't see as much substance in LMA as I do in IJ.

Luftwaffe markings, Iron Cross style. Not every Eric was a Nazi, maybe they didnt want to offend Sikhs?Also, and this is probably just a small quibble coming from me, but it seems that the show has become more politically correct.

When they first opened, they used the swastika.
Here it is in 1992.

Personally I have nothing wrong with the stunt show, yeah I've seen it once and probably will only see it again if there is nothing else to do or I'm traveling with family who have never been to WDW. However, you have to admit that it does eat up a ton of people for every show. I'm no expert but that is probably one of the reasons why they keep it open. How many people can sit/stand in there per show? I would rather have them all in there then in line for TSMM, ST, RRC, or ToT.
I would love there to be an IJ attraction, but maybe not necessarily a clone. Obviously there is a reason TDO keeps killing it and its not about the money and maybe not because they are cheap.

I noticed that, which is why I brought it up. I didn't even notice it until I saw that picture.

Sikhs are practitioners of an Indian religion. The Swastika was a sacred symbol that Hitler stole and bastardised.

My 2 cents; The swastika is also a native american good luck symbol, not used much since the second world war. Tthe 45th Infantry Divison (Oklahoma National Guard) used it as their division symbol until 1938 when preparing for possible war with Germany they changed it to the Thunderbird. Many World War I american air squardron aslo used the swastika and Indian head for their symbols.

This site is just a hot bed of information.

I'm not Jewish or easily offended but I think not having swastikas at WDW is a good thing.

While we're talking about Indy I have a question I've often wondered about....
Why do they pretend to film it? I personally think that's a lot of wages for all those people that add very little to the show. If they had the footage on screens to show what the camera saw then fine..... But I also think it would be just as effective if they said this is how we would do it in the movies..... In a climate where every dollar helps I think that'd be a pretty good cost cutting move... Unless those people serve a purpose I am unaware of?

Not quite as dangerous as airbrushing history so as not to offend.

Maybe they should do away with the "Nazis" and replace them with students from Hogwarts

Sorry, I didn't realise "Indiana Jones: the last crusade" was an actual historical event!

I don't know if it has been brought up before, but just in case, another reason why it may or may not be time for this stunt show to go is that it probably continues to try and pretend that they are actually trying to "film" some pickup scenes from the Indiana Jones movies as the audience sees it. These movies came out 20-30 years ago!
