It's in very limited run on DCL now, and has been moved to the smaller Studio Seas. Sad to see this closing.

Sad to see it close, but I can't say I'm heartbroken. It's novelty wore off years ago. :?

I'm glad we are going back in early August because we skipped it in May. It was a good attraction for me, but lost it's appeal when Regis quit doing the show.

I don't think there has been anything official come out yet. The Rumor is Midway mania. Kind of like Buzz Lightyear. It's rumored to be the rest of the toy story gang other than Buzz I believe.

Here some new of the closing:
wdwmagic.com wrote:15 June 2006: Who Wants to be a Millionaire closing

Who Wants to be a Millionaire, which is currently occupying most of the soundstages, is closing August 19th 2006. Whilst no new attraction is officially confirmed, this news lends weight to the possibility of the new attraction detailed below in the 7 June update becoming a reality.

It's surprising considering how much they are promoting/filming the real, ABC WWTBAM in the Studios. It's fun but I think it probably costs too much to operate, it takes a lot of staff, they have to keep coming up with questions, prizes, etc.
