Who Wants to be A Millionaire has Closed.

Space_Mt. · 09-06-2006, 12:41 PM

The last show was on 08/19/06. When the show was ended people obviously booed, and their response was met by approval when the cast decided to let one more contestant on the hot seat.

I read the topic of this thread and thought, "hmmm...I thought Millionaire closed over a year ago." Then I noticed you meant the Disney-MGM version of Millionaire. Now it all makes sense. I guess that show just isn't popular like it used to be.

Disney MGM has really had a hard time using that area to its fullest potential. Not only with Millionaire but the Soundstage area as well. First it was One Saturday Mornng then it was my favorite Monster Sound Show with Chevy Chase and Martin Short then Sounds Dangerous with Drew Carey. I guess its hard to keep things that arent fun fast and flashy

Strange oddity here:

DCA's Millionaire closed 8/20/04
MGM's Millionaire closed 8/19/06

Almost.

Aww man... Oh well. Good thing I went to the hot seat! And I will not have any incentive to go to WDW anymore.

snowjaz · 09-09-2006, 10:06 PM

at the one at disneyland they closed a long time ago and i wonder what they are going to put there. hmm...

Disney_Guy · 09-12-2006, 05:56 PM

I think I read somewhere on Wikipedia that one of the possible reasons why it was closed is because the Annual Passholders might come back to play for multiple prize chances. Though, their can be many reasons for its closure.

PeoplemoverMatt · 09-12-2006, 08:44 PM

Wikipedia allows people to just put whatever reason they want up and there's no accountability. Annual Passholders was the snow job reason we were fed, not the real one. You don't end a show because people come back to see it again.

Too bad. I loved Millionaire. It was the go-to attraction if we couldnt think of something to do. lol

Alex_Toto_Disneyland · 01-14-2007, 05:39 PM

Maybe it closed for make room for Midway Mania

PeoplemoverMatt · 01-14-2007, 05:45 PM

It did close for Midway Mania. That whole area is now a construction zone like underneath our California Screamin' is.

I really am disgusted wih this whole midway mania thing. What the heck does toy story & arcade games have to do with disney movies? they really should build something more original, like a new sound stage show.
