1980s: We can't have Alien in a Disney park 2024: Disney releases an Alien ABC book

I was fortunate to get to experience this. It was one of my favorite attractions.

This was the scariest attraction I've experienced in 1994 on vacation to FL. My dad, a classmate and I sat in this, I liked the beginning but when the lights went out I felt frightened, thinking 'I want to go NOW, get me out of this room. I was 14, in 7th grade,

This was the scariest attraction I’d ever experienced, and I was in my 30s at the time. I’ve yet to hear it explained this way in reviews but I’m pretty sure the shoulder bars were not only for the 4D effects but also to lock people in their seats. Not being able to escape added to the fear factor but also prevented people from hurting themselves trying to get out in a panic.

Man imagine if someone was able to remake this ride but with the xenomorph like originally planned. It would be so terrifying hearing that thing walk around in total darkness. I was lucky enough to get the ride this the most vivid memory i have is feeling the breath on your neck. Now imagine that being the xenomorph doing that

I remember the videos on Toys R Us and just had an amazing time. Watched them all the time and so happy to see you back. Just got back from Disney World and anything Disney sounds amazing. Buzz Lightyear ride that you mentioned was amazing. Welcome back.

I loved it so much. Most Europeans never understand what I am talking about when I try to describe this amazingly scary attraction. It was so damn awesome. I didn't know it is closed. Well, I'm glad that i experienced this masterpiece.

Tomorrowland '94 was peak Tomorrowland.

Glad to see you at it!

Wow that is crazy, I had no idea that ever existed at Disney. Thanks for sharing!

I sadly never got to experience that attraction. I was born in 96 and never got to even go to Disney World until 2008 when I was 12 years old.

What I would do to get to ride this ride. However, thanks to Alton Towers in the UK, a similar ride still exists. It's called Nemesis Sub Terra and it's basically a tiny drop tower with Alien Encounter at the bottom and a scare maze as an exit queue.

Imagine if Giger helped design the ride 🫡🫡🫡🫡 But seriously, I hope there’s a new Alien ride.

I would give anything to experience this again - I was bummed to here they toned it down because I got the 95 treatment - as a little kid...it was the most amazing ever.

You know, while an Alien attraction would absolutely not work in the Magic Kingdom for obvious reasons, it could ABSOLUTELY work in Hollywood Studios since Alien was literally in The Great Movie ride as you mentioned. Like we already have mature thrill rides at Hollywood Studios like the Tower of Terror and Rock & Rollercoaster, so an Alien ride would absolutely fit in perfectly with those. Like imagine how absolutely awesome and terrifying it would be if Disney made a ride that’s basically Rise of the Resistance mixed with Expedition Everest and Dinosaur where you race through a self destructing Nostromo where you constantly see the Xenomorph stalking through the vents and making creepy hissing noises all around you and eventually the Xeno starts popping out of the vents and stuff jumpscaring the riders, and at the climax of the ride the Xeno is about to jump at the riders but gets sucked out of the escape hatch at the last second. That would genuinely be my favorite ride in all of Disney World if they ever actually made that kind of ride. And since Disney owns 20th Century Fox now, it’s not like they would need to get the rights to Alien. I doubt it would happen but I would be on that ride day one if it ever was actually made.

This was my favourite ride when I was younger. I had the alien plushie, I still have the action figures complete set, and I miss this ride terribly. But thanks to snowflake parents it ended as quickly as it started.

Maybe now that the Alien series is now owned by Disney and Alien Romulus is coming this August, they can probably reuse the old innoventions theater where Star Wars Launch Bay is today and repurpose the building into a rebooted Alien Encounter attraction with the Xenomorph included as it was originally intended. But maybe as a Halloween only attraction to attract more people to Disneyland during Halloween Time since most of the Halloween stuff is in California Adventure because of Oogie Boogie Bash.

Loved it

There actually is one more confirmed Alien Encounter remnant! In the library room of Skipper Canteen, there is a book called "Creatures From Space!" that's written by Clench!

Ohh how I miss alien encounter.

Hey Ben, Nice to see you back, but I have a question, are you ever gonna do any more vids on Toys R Us??
