Is Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular! Lightning Lane worth it?
The short answer
Is Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular! Lightning Lane worth it? Usually skippable. At Hollywood Studios, Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular! is sold through Lightning Lane Multi Pass — standard slot, with a typical peak standby wait of under 30 min. The amphitheater holds roughly two thousand people, which is more than the show typically draws outside of peak weeks — so on most days you can arrive ten or fifteen minutes before showtime and sit wherever you like. A Lightning Lane slot at Hollywood Studios is scarce and valuable because the ride side of this park is brutal; handing one to a show with this much seating is the trade that hurts most. Check showtimes in the app first thing in the morning and build your day around one of them rather than reserving anything — the mid-afternoon showings are the emptiest. Sit toward the middle and a few rows back for the best view of the boulder and the plane sequence. Be aware there are loud gunshots, real fire and repeated explosions, which is worth flagging to a noise-sensitive child before you sit down. Save your selections for Slinky Dog Dash, Mickey & Minnie's Runaway Railway and Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run.
