I remember when the ride operator would take your name and ET would say it at the end. I was a little kid at the time and that was honestly the coolest thing ever! Made my whole trip.

Steven Spielberg said himself if this ride against taken down he will basically Sue Orlando even though that ET ride is outdated and everything he literally said himself that if ET ride gets taken down he will have a fit with Orlando so that's why they kept it for so long which I think is awesome because I love the ET movie as well as a ride

Old, but gold! I remember this ride had a unique, forest-y smell inside unlike any other ride.

As a 26 year old who rode this last year. I will never turn down an opportunity to ride front row with the basket holding E.T. I did it twice. I asked them both times and they let me lol. Truly a timeless classic ride made after my favorite movie of all time.

I vividly remember riding this when I was very young. I'll never forget the feeling of truly believing I was flying through space. I even remember holding in my breath because I was scared there would be no air!

I rode this ride for the first time 2/22/22 at 29 and I was amazed also I feel like people are so busy looking for the imperfections they don’t realize how amazing it is

rode this in 1996 and it was one of the best experiences of my life.

This is my most favorite ride out of any park. i hope it is never replaced

海外のUSJ行ってみたいなぁ！ 日本のは小学生の時に1回だけ家族と行っただけだったけど、ちゃんとアトラクションを楽しめるように、親が映画を見せてくれてから連れて行ってくれたのが本当に嬉しかった。 ストーリーを見ないとETの本当の可愛さって伝わりずらいから、映画で感動して号泣してから行って、なおさら愛着がある状態で楽しめた。

Went as a kid in LA and now want to ride this version in Florida. ❤ Visiting the USA from New Zealand and riding ET was one of my earliest memories. I was scared yet exhilarated and found it magical. I even got a huge ET doll to take home.

I’m 20 years old and have been lucky enough to visit Universal Studios Orlando three times, and ET will forever be in my list of favourite rides! such a great film and this ride just makes me feel so nostalgic

I am from BKK. Back in 1996, I took almost 20-hour flight to Universal Studios Hollywood with my parents. It was my first time both in the States and USH. I never forget this E.T. ride. Especially when E.T. said my name at the end of the ride.

That just turned from a scary ride to Peter Pan’s Flight

This ride and mummy are universal's best. It's the imagination and world building that just blows me away. the amount of hard work in making so much of that world actually there is just mind boggling. It reminds me of Japanese Disney.

I remember riding this ride 10 years ago and I actually got to sit in the front where E.T. would wake up

I saw this for myself when I went to Orlando last month and it truly touched my heart. E.T. The Ride is a true Dark Ride and a work of imagination.

“WELCOME HOOOOOME… …YOU’VE ARRIIIIIIIVED!” Best part

I feel like the animatronics need a serious upgrade as well as some effects. I think it would help extend it's quality of life for sure

Man I loved this ride when I was a kid glad its still there.

Still an amazing attraction, but it’s time for Universal to give it the enhancement and investment it deserves to bring it back to its very best.

i use to go to the one in California everytime I went, it's definitely one of my favorite dark rides of all time and was bummed when they closed it down. i didn't realize there was one still open. thanks for posting this was a great nostalgia trip

best smelling ride in the world!

I remember when I was a kid I got creeped out waiting in the line for this ride. It seemed so real and it also felt creepy when his teacher showed up and said stuff.

Hope Spielberg never allows Universal to replace this. The video can't capture the smell of the forest or how cool flying over that city setpiece is.

It's joy to just sit in line for this ride

Me and my sister went to Universal Studios last year, we were mostly in Wizarding World but on the last day we walked around and decided to hit this ride last. Someone there told us it was the last original ride from when the park opened years ago. I'm so glad we went here. It was so amazing; the mechanics of it, the little details from the movie, but the craftsmanship that went into it was amazing. All laid out and built, no greenscreens or anything. Not dissing the rides that had greenscreens or projection at all. It was more like seeing where amusement rides started at and how far they progressed, best of both.

日本でクローズしただいぶ後にアメリカで乗りましたが、何故なくなったのかわからないくらい楽しかったです！ why did this attraction close in US japan. it's so very exciting.

Peter Pan but ET haha. Love seeing ET's planet in the Neverland portion. Never saw that in the movie. Appreciate the effort made here, even if the age does show.

Another favourite ride of mine. I love ET ❤. Very clever! He called my name out at the end of this ride.

小学生の頃、並ぶところの木の匂いが大好きでした 最後にETに名前を呼んでもらって喜んでた記憶 もう一度乗りたい…

Rode this for the first time last week and it ranks in my top three favorite Universal rides. Only problem was the ET head wouldn’t rise from the basket which really stunk since I was lucky enough to get that seat.

小さい時、日本のUSJでおばあちゃんに連れて行ってもらった時のことを今でも覚えてる。足下に夜の街があって輝いてたのが忘れられない。今はもうおばあちゃん、足腰悪くて認知症になっちゃったから行けないんだ😔また行きたいな

I swear they told us to "keep your hands and feet inside the bike," so I spent the rest of the ride trying to figure out what TF that statement meant.

Wish Universal Hollywood kept this. Never got to ride it. I'll have to venture to Uni FL one day to experience this, along with the bigger and better HP world over there.

i miss this ride a lot i remember every time i eat food with my family we would ride this after we eat since it’s calm and it gave us enough time to digest

I remember riding on this ride over ten years ago at the universal studios in California and ET said the wrong name to me at the end lol.

Almost felt like I was flying with ET on the bike! Thanks for sharing! /Piee89 Sweden

My favorite ride! I wish they would update ET would be even better!

I miss this ride :’c we used to have it at Universal Hollywood but not anymore 💔 I loved this movie so much as a kid & I wish I could get on this ride one last time as an adult 😩

A follow forest ranger pointed out that's me saying, "Watch your step." Yep that's my teal waterbottle! Haha I've been watching your videos for years now I'm working in one.

Memories... Thank You.

I remember my first time on this ride and at first I didn’t want to go but it turned out to be amazing for me and it is one of my favorite rides in universal studios

We were there in 2016. After my wife got very sick after we rode the Simpsons ride, ET was very good to recover from. But the big highlight for me is the forest at the entrance.

I love that ride happy st Patrick’s day SoCal attractions

DUDE I only remember this ride so well because i'd dream about it as a kid and thought I was actually flying on a bike lol this ride was awesome

I can *smell* this video.

We just went on this and it was out first time! A little outdated compared to the other rides but it’s must do ! Great vid !

I haven't been on this ride in 3 years thankfully me and my family will be going back August 2025 il be first in line for this ride when we get to universal studios I miss it so much

I remember being on that ride as a kid and the first half of the portion I thought the police animatronic are so real, thought maybe real people played them. And yeah it used to be at the end where ET would say your name. Some high tech stuff at the time

This is one of my favorite ride at Universal Orlando.

Lmao my niece that’s like 7 years old started to cry on this ride

For such heavily themed ride, it would have been nice if you had walked the entrance queue also, i really liked the woods at the beginning but it was only seen for short time.

This ride is really beautiful wow

I’d come all the way from Japan just to see this beautiful scenery of LA in person

This and the mummy are my favorite rides.

Ask E.T. if he is a Jedi, and report back what you find out.

After I rode this attraction, what I felt was that E.T. was living on a really scary and horrible planet.

such a good ride

Did Universal Studios Hollywood ever had this ride a long time ago because as a kid I remember riding this ride.

I rode that in 3rd grade and it was terrifying to me

USJから無くなってしまったのが本当に惜しいなあ

My mom rode that attraction when she was young during the 90’s at Universal Studios Hollywood, sadly this attraction no longer exists

The weird Gilroy Gardens part at the end is the only issue I have.

This ride gave my trauma that I'm still not over 28 years later

Reminds me of the Peter Pan ride.

I think I remember that ride wish i was young again

Such a confusing ending. So you are on E.T's home planet? And you saved it somehow? Also a race that is technologically advanced enough to develop ships capable of interstellar travel but somehow hasn't figured out houses?

I remember you would give the attendant your name and ET would say it at the end

日本にあった時好きだったなー

Great video my friend!!!!

When they fly over the city it looks very similar to the Peter Pan ride.

I only visited this park twice, in 1991 and 1996, and BOTH visits this ride and Jaws were down for maintenance.

This is my favourite ride!

Thank you for this upload! I hope I can revisit this ride again before they shut it down. Anyone know any updates with that?

really cool looking ride! Thanks for sharing!

I can smell this ride lol my favorite

Great ride but the end is weird.

Uhh...am I misremembering the end of ET?

2:27 "E.T... Go to the Duty Free.. Hurry!"

Cette attraction est juste parfait 👍

My favorite ride

Never knew there was a ride to cool.

this looked more epic as a kid

I haven’t been on this ride since I was a kid

wonderfull!! next The Silence of the Lambs ride.

Still a classic ride❤❤❤

I was 6 yrs old and I lost my sandle on this ride xD

We only see the back of E.Ts head covered by a blanket in the basket. I so badly want to see the front to see if it’s blank or if there is a face.

Es excelenteeee la de ET muero por ir mi primera película que fui a ver con 4 años que buena atracción

it's been over 3 years since ive been to world, and next time we go to world of any of the parks here in florida, i bet ill feel like a 4 year old again!😂

I love the ride E.T

I would love if this was still in Hollywood instead of the mediocre version of the Mummy Ride. That ride is so bad compared to the Florida version cutting too many things out, plus it has a lackluster ending.

Movie always made me cry

How … is it like Peter Pan’s Flight, suspended from above?

I have been in this rideand is amazing

I can smell this ride

That's a good ride

Where is this I did not see this at universal

This is cool it was smelled nature

Hollywood?
