I believe it was closed down a while ago - certainly before January this year when we were in Florida. Have a look at this link http://www.orlando-guide.info/forums/topic_42661.asp

us to.... always another one of those places on the to do list.... and never get around to doing them....
We done this show last trip in October and it was very good. I did hear that they are looking for a new venue to open up again so you never know maybe it will come back!

It is supposed to be reopening in another venue. Basically they received an offer that was too good to be turn down for the land so they are relocating. It was obvioulsy successful to be considering reopening.
cheers for that will have to find some thing similar does any one no of any

It was closed last week when we drove past it.
I was led to believe that Premium outlets have bought it last December so they can expand their current site.
Hi Angie, Arabian nights is a much better show than Dolly. Well thats my opinion anyway. The only downside is take something to throw round your shoulders and something to sit on the metal benches with as they are really cold. Other than than it is by far the best dinner show I have seen. If you upgrade to vip you go in early and get to meet the horses up close and the riders sign your book too.
I thought Arabian nights was dreadful and vert boring, only the wife liked it because of the horses.

I would never put anyone off going to a show, restaurant or anything else. Everything is a personal opinion. I have been to a show and hated it but others love so I always say if you fancy going, give a try. If Dixie Stampede comes back give a go you will probably enjoy it. Ignore negative opinions, it would not have lasted as long as it did if everyone hated it.

I have also been to Arabian Nights although was not my cup of tea. The family next to us really enjoyed it.
We are all different I would suggest if you are thinking of going then please do so.
Why miss the opportunity to see a show that could be great entertainment for you and your family.
An opinion is just that,a personsal point of view. Don't be swayed, judge for yourself that's the best and only way to decide.
Many of these shows have been around along time and are sold out most nights therefore some poeople must really enjoy the experience.

We did Arabian nights vip last may and really enjoyed it.We've only done a dinner show once before ,something the kids had never experienced so we like to try something new and different although we have one fussy eater the evenning was enjoyed by all.
Worth a visit in my book.

We were told that the stampede were offered over four times it's value for the plot of land by Prime Outlets as they wish to expand. Our driver told us stempede were looking to relocate, but as yet no site found.
Obviously the offer was too good to refuse, as the stampede closed within two weeks!
Looks like the stampede had already purchased it's advertising for the year, before this deal, as a lot of the current free voucher booklets have it in as up and running!

Well I was very disappointed that Dolly didn't bother to turn up.
The food and drink flowed and the equestrian antics were awesome (our side won[msnwink]) but no Dolly.
I have four of her boots that remind me of my visit but no picture of me standing with her.
Very disappointed.........[msncry][msncry][msncry][msncry]
I can do sarcasm me[msnsmile2]
Excuse the pun but it's horses for courses. These types of shows are not my thing but if you make the most of them and join in the shouting and drinking then it's all good. My wife and kids loved it.
