"How dare you create such a disturbing ride!" "We're sorry, we'll fix it." *weeks later* "There! Now the alien explodes! Much less disturbing!" I love Disney's sense of humor :D

Seriously people, *READ THE DAMN WARNINGS!!!*

Technically, since Disney owns Fox and Stitch's Great Escape has officially closed, they can legally put Alien Encounter back in.

I hate that this had to happen there's a whole park of rides catered to kids but there are also adults that want to experience this park as well. I think it was the time frame of when it was added. Now a days this ride would be super popular because a lot of millenials go to Disney now it's become super popular social media wise. I honestly have to say if you were a parent that complained about this your so ridiculous there's a warning sign you should have ready you gave your child permission it's your responsibility to know what you are putting your child on

Oh my god I was a kid when my dad took me into this ride. I knew nothing of alien and had no idea what it was. I basically went in with no idea what I was walking into. Holy god. I was about 7 or 8. Although it was extremely terrifying it was one of my strongest memories from Disneyland. The feeling of it breathing on my neck. The floor and seat moving. This was seriously something else. It was unlike any other "ride" . I remember being so scared and my dad reassuring me it wasn't real. But it seemed real and for that few minutes it might have well had been. But seriously it was an amazing and creative. I'll never forget the feeling of it touching the back of my head. I think it was done with air but it felt so strange and not like air. Thanks for the video it was awesome to time travel back to that day.

Ride warning sign: Warning! This ride may be scary to young children! Parent with two elementary-aged kids: That sign won't stop me because I can't read!

The more I learn about Alien Encounter, the more sad I get that I never got to experience it. This is a ride that I would love to go on now. I get why it was closed, though. It just wasn't right for the park.

My family and I went on Alien Encounter in 2001. I was 8 years old at the time and my parents had bought a guidebook that detailed every Disney ride, including a description, an age rating, a thrill rating, and a "scary" rating. We'd decided that Alien Encounter sounded good (we wanted to experience as many rides as we could in our stay there, and that the scary rating the ride received was nonsense since Snow White's Scary Adventure had received the same rating and wasn't at all scary The ride terrified me and I took the voiceover's advice not to scream very seriously, sitting in silence as the maintenance man's blood fell on me, the aliens breath on my back, unable to get out. Another kid not far from where I was sitting actually was able to almost get out of his chair. Alien Encounter became the most memorable part of my time at Disney World and I was sad to hear when it closed down. I think that it had an effect on my love of horror and sci-fi today, with Alien being one of my all-time favorite movies (I didn't even know about the connection until your video!). I even bought one of the action figures of the alien a day later (I think I still have it stowed away somewhere).

An attraction based on ALIEN would more likely fit Universal Studios

I experienced the original ride and thought it was technically brilliant. Yet, not for everyone and I can see how parents of small children would NOT like it. Sadly, many people DO NOT READ warning signs and this is where the trouble begins. I remember a time riding Space Mountain when a young woman who had to be 9 months pregnant being talked out of riding it, despite warnings, as she said it was her right to ride it. Common sense, apparently is not all that common.

So glad I got to experience the original Alien Encounter show as a kid! Quite scary, quite good. Two parts stick out: One, when the alien is slowly breaking the glass, we're all screaming our heads off, and the panicking narrator guy is like, "Don't worry! As long as the [defensive measures] are in place, the alien. Cannot. Get. Out!" Then it goes dark and we hear this loud glass shattering sound, and we all just lose it. Haha. Then when the maintenance dude first shows up with his flashlight, a bunch of us thought he was real (not an actor), we were screaming, "Help us! Get us out of here!". Way better than many haunted house experiences. Too bad it didn't do well.

Alien Encounter was the type of experience where videos alone don't do it justice. You truly felt like you were trapped in the dark as an alien ran/flew around you and eventually lurked up behind you breathing down your neck before eventually eating a crew member above you and it felt like his blood was sprayed on you.

I saw Alien Encounter. It was incredible! Everything from the warm "blood" splatters to the alien running through the audience was incredible. Truly one of the most immersive experiences in the park. I remember both the Alien Encounter and Mission to Mars, and I can't pick a favorite. The Stitch show doesn't hold a candle.

I was a teenager when I was lucky enough to experience this ride, I loved it! Screamed my head off and if it had been the Xenomorph that was what "escaped" in the ride my horror loving teenage mind would've have exploded.

Yes I went and it freaked me out. I was 18. After I had a good laugh but it was believable that's for sure. I never forgot it. The breath from the Alien was wild. They did a good job very realistic!!

You know that is very upseting to find out that I missed out on such a great ride. The original Alien Encounter not Stitch (no disrespect), They should have sold the ride to Universal so people could continue to enjoy the ride. That ride actually brought real skin crawling doom without people knowing Disney Imagineers' secrets. They should have just put a huge rating on the entry so people who could not handle it would not go in.

One ride in 1997 was enough for me. I was 15 years old and my two friends dragged me on the ride in a band trip. They were totally scared out of their minds, but I was the scifi nerd and managed to survive without trauma. It was just gross. I have still never seen the Alien movies, and have no desire to. That being said, the Imagineers did a fantastic job with the ride. You really were terrified because of the touch and smell and sound experience being heightened due to the dark (loss of sight will magnify your other senses to compensate). They totally took advantage of that and made a memorable encounter. When Disney locks you into the seat because hey want you to stay there the entire duration of the ride, it is "for your safety," but also this was for dramatic purposes that essentially chained you to feel the sensations presented with no escape. It's not like closing your eyes and plugging your ears would help you survive--the warm breath and saliva dripping on you was horrifying, and everyone around you---the screams would circle around the room from he other guests who were clearly TERRIFIED. Any of these "parents" who didn't believe the CLEARLY posted warning signs at the beginning of the line are either illiterate or looking for a reason to terrorize their kids. There were audio warnings, as well. The line was long, I must have heard that warning about fifty times while waiting. I'm 34 now. There is no way in HELL I would ignore that warning and take my kids under 15 on that ride.

That Mickey Mouse censoring is one of the best things I've seen on KZfaq.

I got to ride Alien Encounter and loved the effect of the monster tearing through the audience. I remember it breathing on my neck, in particular. Everyone in my party was a grown adult, and we were thrilled. I later wondered what had happened to the ride, so I appreciate the backstory.

I guess I was one of the lucky few who experienced Alien Encounter in the early days. I was a kid, I knew it was supposed to be scary, and I loved it. The breath on your face, the rustle of the alien around you . . . They kept most of the elements exactly the same for the Stitch event, as far as I'm concerned. With humor and a cute mascot, of course. The re-do is much more in keeping with Disney's vision, but I'll never forget the first iteration.

Basically the example of what happens when a company gets type casted for one demographic, and when they try to put in something that's the opposite of that, ends up causing a lot of controversy.

Disney did a good thing by taking a risk and creating a ride that was innovative, thrilling, and visually breathtaking. Then a bunch of dopey parents became angry when little Jimmy and Cindy pee-pee'd in their pants (despite the numerous warnings about the intensity of the attraction). Ironically, changing the ride to "Stitch" actually made it worse! It was still too scary for young children, and too annoying for adults ("chili breath", Disney characters crowbarred into the story, etc).

I like how they were like "Aw man parents keep complaining the ride is toooo scary. We need to make some changes to it." then they bring it back later with the addition of the alien EXPLODING ONTO THE AUDIENCE!?

I remember going to this on our honeymoon in 1997. One of the best attractions ever. I knew it was not real but both of us were scared beyond belief. And that was the whole point. It was years ahead of its time and I’m glad I got a chance to see it. The Stitch rework was nothing. And I always missed the original. The warnings were abundant. There was no reason someone could bring their children in there by accident. Great video. Thanks for posting this one.

Alien encounters looked like SUCH a cool ride

I loved the Tim Curry robot character, a truly sinister animatronic that i still quote today. "Bon voyage...!"

This was one of my most favorite memories as a child. I experienced it with my father and it was such a great time. At one point when the alien pops out and you could see it, you heard a background lines say it looks like my mother-in-law. I will never forget that. I wish it was still around

Looking at that Thumbnail and realizing that Disney actually owns the Alien Franchise now.... makes this even funnier XD

That ride scared the shit out of me! 😂 good times

Awesome video!

"one of the most controversial..." yeah, god forbid Disneyland has an attraction for people 8 and up. i remember hearing how scary this ride was, and how cool it was to have something meant for, yknow, adults. i LOVE the indiana jones ride - that thing is rad - but "stitch's great escape" is an abomination.

I remember riding this when I was about 9. During the dark bit my mom tried to reassure me by putting her hand on my arm. I swear I've never screamed as hard in my life, as from that touch, Thanks mom.

Alien Encounter was the greatest and most memorable thing I experienced at Disney as a child (in 2001). I was really hoping to take my parents to see it, as I knew they would love it as much as I did. It's extremely disappointing to me to see it's gone.

It's clear you have a passion for this based on the quality of these videos. You are doing a great job.

I was fortunate enough to experience this attraction. I went to Disney shortly after Christmas 2002. My friends and I were that target audience. We were teens looking for something a little bit more grown up. We loved it so much, we did it like 4 or 5 times when we were there. I had no idea the attraction was closing, so when I went back in the spring of 2004, I was really sad to see it gone. It was a thrill. It was scary. It was so different from what Disney was and it broke up the monotony of childish cuteness. It was a legend and an amazing attraction that is dearly missed.

Went on it in first grade loved it! There was plenty of warning outside of it! Its sad that crybaby parents(not the kids the parents) ruined it. There was no need to get rid of it. The tower of terror, hunted manshion, and even the great movie ride had scary parts but did not get shut down for it. Maybe with the new genration of kids that like scary stuff like five nights at freadys we will see it return or somthing like it.

Another reason that may have contributed to the closing of the attraction was that families would go to the park, do their business, then when it was time to leave they would get on alien encounter with their children, and then complain to the staff about the ride and obtain a complete refund, allowing people to go the the park virtually for free, and with the internet getting attention and making it easier to spread information, Disney had a big problem with this "hack" becoming public knowledge.

So glad that I was able to experience this. Being a child, this never really scared me, and in retrospect, I feel like such a badass because my older sister couldn't take it. Also holds a special place in my heart as it was the one attraction experience of our trips that I got to share with my dad. We bonded over this ride, and made the vacations that much more memorable.

We went in 1996, I was 14, and I loved it!!! Of course, it is definitely a ride for teens. Really well done. A former imagineer is a friend of the family. She designed the concept art for the alien. I got to look through her binder of concept after concept, ranging from nice looking fairy-types, to complete alien carbon copies. She felt pretty sad that it closed so quickly.

I saw it multiple times when I was little. Not sure which version, but I remember LOVING it. Parenting 101 means you should read the damn big ass warning sign at the front and know what you could can handle. Also, reminding your cold no matter how scared s/he gets, Disney wouldn't make anything that would cause harm and its all pretend. Just use your imagination and enjoy the experience. Honestly, this would have been more proper at MGM or even more accepted at Universal Studios. Hell, Disney should feel lucky enough that Universal Studios didn't court George Lucas with a Star Wars ride.

So I was one of those kids that got traumatized by this ride. Unfortunately for me, my parents knew exactly what they were walking into, but they still took me on the ride anyways. Scared the living crap out of me haha. I wish I could experience it again though. The Stitch adaption was pretty sweet, but I really wish they could have done the Ridley Scott Alien version. edit: I also went on when it first opened up, so I was most likely around 6-7 years old.

I'm in the rare amount of people that love Stitch's Great Escape and I'm sad that it is most likely going to be closed down (it's only running during special seasonal runs like Christmas and Halloween and things like that so that is a huge sign that it is closing).

I experienced this attraction when I was a Kid, maybe like 6 to 8 don't remember at the moment, and to be honest, I WAS TERRIFIED and marked me for a long time. I Can still remember getting out of this attraction and seeing a bunch of kids crying all around me, really a moment I will much likely never forget. But what I found really weird is that I've always remembered the attraction with an actual XENOMORPH. Probably my mind after watching the Alien movies just replaced the alien from the ride for an Xeno since I was REALLY terrified of them. This "Alien Encounter" attraction marked me so badly that I straight went through the Stitch one with my eyes closed and humming because of the experienced I had. Although the irony is that because of this ride I became fascinated by the Alien movies and really wish one day we could see an actual attraction of the Alien Franchise.

I went on Alien Encounter back in 99 and I'm glad I was able to. It was creepy but great with how well it was done! The speakers behind your ears and the mist machines added to the story

So parents get mad at a ride that clearly says "hey, I'm scary and not for little kids" because they lacked situational awareness. Hmm, those same parents probably don't read food labels and feed their kids poison.

I would love to see something like this someday. The part where you talked about the alien breathing on the audience gave me chills, if that were a xenomorph ride I would shit my pants.

I experienced this at the Magic Kingdom. Still one of my favorite attractions ever. The breathing on your neck, the “blood” spraying on you when the CM with the flashlight up on the catwalk gets eaten, and the seat harness pressing down on you like the creature is standing above you then getting licked by it. Fantastic job by the Imagineers. Miss this attraction a lot.

I was in high school the one and only time I had a chance to experience this. It was the first time I ever saw so many people crying - kids, teens, and adults. With that being said, I absolutely loved this attraction and I was really disappointed when Stitch took over. It is 10% of what it was. If they ever bring back the original, I will be there.

*By FAR my most favorite ride in history! absolutely horrifying but hilarious at the same time*

The original ride was so great and offered a fresh experience from everything else in the park. I loved that most of it was based on pure imagination, allowing your mind to create terrors that either weren't there or manifested themselves differently. They really shot themselves in the foot by backing away from it.

I remember going on this ride in one of my high school trips. It was bad ass. I actually forgot about it, since the last time I went I saw the changed theme. Thanks for the memory

As of Fall 2017 Stitch's Great Escape is now a Stitch meet and greet.

May of 2016: I wrote an “ideas” list for the yet to be created ‘Yesterworld Entertainment’. Alien Encounter was the first. January of 2017: I began writing the script. July 2017: At long last, I hope you all enjoy my exploration and investigation of Alien Encounter and the unbuilt Tomorrowlands, and everything in between…Thanks for watching and your continued support! www.patreon.com/Yester_World

In Germany we have a Funfair attraction called ''Encounter'' and based on the Disney Alien Encounter, the show is a bit changed but also equal and terrifying. Just search: ''Encounter - Häsler'' and you will find some onride's ;)

this was by far my favorite experience at disney world. i got to see every iteration of it. the phil hartman droid was good, the tim curry version was great. it was also funny when they added in the voice overs to lighten the mood when the alien was out. "here, don't eat me! eat her!" and "that looks like my mother in law!". When it opened when i was a kid, my brother and i were like, "this would have made an amazing Alien ride". later find out, it started as one. THAT would have been amazing.

I was about 33 when I went on it. I dont recall if it was the soft opening or the full opening because I cant remember if the alien exploded at the end but I distinctly remember the sounds of the alien crunching on the worker's bones after it "killed" him. Awesome and scary...even for us grown ups.

Yesterworld and Defunctland have new uploads in the same day?! Awesome.

Disney has always bowed to the soccer moms of America, they need variety

One of the BEST rides ever!

I experienced this in 1996. I remember it being scary, however it's only now looking back I realised how unlike Disney is was. I remember tubes by your legs that would blast out air and flick the back of you legs with the pretense it was escaping rate. I remember the shoulder harness pressing down on you as it ran around the area, and then the feeling of it breathing down your neck. I returned in 2016 only to find it had gone. I have enjoyed and still am enjoying your videos because I love seeing how the parks change and the reasons behind them. changed.

I've been anxiously waiting for another one of these videos

I did go on this when the Phil Harmon robot was there... I remember coming off the ride and hitting my dad "Why would you make me go through that!!!" I was 8. lol

Thank you for this video. My family and my brother’s family were fortunate enough to see the original Alien Encounter. Our children were mixed ages; 7, 8, 10, and 11. The show was absolutely the BEST. I had never experienced something so real. Not mentioned in the video, were the strings or fishing lines they had hitting your legs when the alien escaped. Needless to say all the adults (especially my brother and I) and the 11 year old (the only child that was a girl) absolutely loved it. We wanted to go right back on the ride and do it again. However the three boy children were not so enthusiastic. My son, the 7 year old , was in a state of shock. He had a few tears coming down, but would not talk and was just in a stare mode. My 8 year old nephew was crying which took awhile to calm him. It didn’t help that us adults were laughing and so happy out of the thrill of this fantastic ride. Now my son, he stayed in that shock status for about 20 minutes, not responding to any questions and not saying a word. My 10 year old nephew thought about it, and then was all in for going on the ride again, once he talked with the 11 year old. Then about 20 minutes later, long after we had my 8 year old nephew calmed down, my son started balling his eyes out and he was trying to say something. But we could not understand. So after a few minutes, we realized he was trying to tell us the alien stole his hard plastic Disney water cup with the top and straw. So now, my two nephews (8 and 10) got very serious again, the 8 year old started shedding tears again. Oh my gosh, hilarious. Now all of us adults, and the 11 year old, had stopped laughing up until this new information given by my son. Then we started laughing so hard we could barely stand up. Now this did not sit well with my son, as he was thoroughly upset that this alien had stolen his cup. As money was tight and he was only aloud to purchase one item which he chose this cup. Actually we just forgot the cup, and think it probably fell on the floor during the show, but we could not convince my son of this. The more we laughed, the more upset and now getting mad he became. We calmed the boys back down. I purchased another cup for my son and he was better. Now we had read the warning messages and spoke with the kids about the ride before going on. They all wanted to go. Even after my sister in law said she would wait outside with the younger two boys. Nope they wanted to go. So we all went. We all survived, although some may have experienced a little PTSD for a bit. But I would never complain. This was a great ride, with plenty of warnings. It was a great lesson for the boys, and I can tell you they are all grown men today who really are not scared of anything. Heck, my son rode bulls for 9 years regularly until a horrible bull related accident. But guess what, 6 months later he climbed back on bulls even though the previous bull had broken multiple bones, collapsed both lungs, and he clinically died and was brought back. All of the boys have lived full lives, not afraid to try something scary or even dangerous. I believe too many parents today protect their children too much. Kids need to experience things, and know how to accept and deal with fear, so once they become an adult they will have a better handle on how to control fear, anxiety, and the unknown. I do not regret taking the kids on this ride. I really did want to go again, but we did not force the three boys back on the ride. So unfortunately I was only able to experience this ride once. As the next time I went to DW, Stich was there. Stich was ok, but no where near as good as Alien Encounters. My grandchildren have now heard the stories of Alien Encounters and they so wish they could have experienced it. It would be great if they would bring it back. The ride/show/attraction was truly one of the best ever.

Despite the fact that Alien Encounter is remembered most for it’s horror elements, my favorite part of the attraction was the dark humor and original storyline.

none of what you just shared was previously untold. I just love your presentation of this story much better. You did forget to mention Phil Hartman's death and and the lackluster of Stitch's Great Escape. I never saw Alien Encounter in person (only in KZfaq videos and I love it), but I did see Stitch in person which I absolutely thought was a terrible replacement for a great ride. I feel robbed of my time. I did see Stitch's version online first before I experienced it in person, and so I wasn't surprised at its horribleness. I saw Stitch in person anyhow to give the ride a chance to redeem itself. One of the things that makes Stitch so terrible, is that the ride turns a loveable cartoon character into a terrible menace which totally doesn't match the cartoon's storyline. Disney really needs to bring back Alien Encounter. I would absolutely love to see it in person. If Space mountain and all of it's incantations and the Expedition Everest can exist, than so can Alien Encounter.

Yay! Glad to see another video, love ur content keep up the awesome work!!!!

That was the most scared I've been as a little kid. I actually thought I was in a room with an alien as it licked the back of my neck 🤦🏿‍♂️. I LOVED that ride!!! I went back after I joined the military with my fiance, thinking it was still there 😣. Now only a handful of people I know have that experience. I'm telling my kids about it now 😌. Ah memories!

"A more sinister version with Tim Curry" Of course its tim curry 😂

Long commet make sure you read the hole thing. There was a similar ride at Alton Towers in england called Nemesis Sub Terra.:-) I only rode it once with some friends on Halloween.:-) Me and my friends enjoyed the ride because we were all fans of Si-Fi and the Alien movies.:-)Sadly in 2015 the ride was closed maintenance as far as I know its still closed.:-( I hope this ride re-opens it was a great experience esecially around Halloween.:-) It also added to the parks law there is a rollercoster called Nemesis.:-) Witch was based on an alien creature that was bealved have crash landed in the grounds of Alton Towers.:-) The creature was killed by a giant gun, there is a modle of the giant gun near the two rides.:-) Also around the two rides there are rivers and water falls that run red with creatures blud, Alton Towers is no stranger to doing horror based rides.:-)The parks designers and seam to enjoy creating B movie style storys to go with there creations.:-) Every year aroud Halloween the park has special attractions EG: A late night zombie walk where the staff try and scare the customers.:-) Other rides includ a hounted house ride called The Duel where you get to shoot horror stuff, there is a creapy rollercoster called 13 witch is based around a possessed yung girl, there is a ride called Hex its about a cersed tree. Nemesis Sub Terra was a companion piece to the Nemesis rollercoster. Witch went in to greater detail about the creatures back story.:-) Nemesis Sub Terra was about a discovered creature egg. In the ride the egg hatches and the baby creature attacks and scares actors and the audience.:-)

Finally I been asking for this and waiting for this for months thank you

I went on this ride in 1996, when I was 11. I screamed my head off and loved it. To feel like it was licking the back of your head and not be able to run! And the dialogue was hilarious-“Who’s brain is this?!?” There was nothing like it; I’d love to do something like that again.

Absolutely loved this ride and Star Tours. Thank you for this blast from the past. Great video.

I remember going on Alien Encounter a long time ago, and I loved it.

I went to Florida in 97 and I loved this ride :)

I did get to experience this ride as a kid and while scared at times, I thought it was cool how real (speaking back when I was a kid) it felt to me back then. Seeing your video on this was great to watch, thank you!

I was tall as a child so I saw this when I was 9. It was the second version as I remember Tim Curry’s voice in the pre-show. I’m 26 now and I still remember the feeling of the “blood” they spray on your face- it was warm and viscous, it felt too thick to be water. I remember one of the voice over actors saying “keep quiet don’t scream!!” So I closed my lips and screamed into my mouth. So scary, and my mom still apologizes to this day for bringing me, but I’m so happy I got to experience it

New videos from yesterworld and Defunctland on the same day? *nUT*

I feel like if they hadn't talked Eisner out of using the Alien movie theme like they had originally planned the ride/show (whatever you want to call it) would still be open. Which makes me really sad because I would've loved to experience it but now never can because of stupid parents who didn't pay attention to the obvious signs saying it's too scary (and are probably also the same parents who let their kids do stupid stuff like climbing on trashcans and playing on guardrails & chains).

Youve literally answered my prayers!!! Just discovered your channel and Ive been searching for this kind of content for so long! Youre doing a great job! Now im gonna get back to binge watching haha

I saw Alien Encounter in 2000 when I was 18. I thought it was fantastic and loved the special effects. Definitely not an attraction for small childern, but it brought a great teen/adult attraction to the mostly child geared park.

Lesson to parents: THEY BASICALLY WARNED YOU IT ISN'T FOR KIDS AND YOUR KIDS WILL SOON GROW UP AND FACE THEIR FEARS!!! Gosh, parents these days

Always a good time when I get a notification from you :D

I LOVED that ride!!..the sounds ..the visuals; the tactile stimuli..were awesome!!..

Wow interesting video. I was 12 at the time when Me and my family went to disney world and the best thing I remember to this day is that alien encounters ride... I feel old..

I love your videos and look forward to every one!!!!

This channel is awesome and I love how much you research the history. Thanks and keep up the amazing work.

I was 11 when I went on this for the first time. So much fun and hearing everyone's screams only increased the enjoyment.

I remember this attraction well, and I actually loved it! I was one of those kids obsessed with horror and aliens and being scared, so it was one of the highlights of my childhood and certainly my favorite attraction at the park! The experience I remember was after the alteration in which they made the alien explode at the end, and I was lucky enough to go on it a few times during the years it was open. I was pretty bummed when I had found out that it was closed, but it’s pretty funny to see how they repurposed it. Great memory overall.

I remember the original alien encounter, the breathing on my neck scared the shit out of me..wish they'd bring it back

Love these vids

Bring back Alien Encounter!!! My wife and I experienced it back in 96 on our honeymoon and loved it. Still miss it to this day and wish it was brought back. Hollywood Studios or Epcot would be the perfect place for it now.

It was 9/93, I was 29, my sister was just married on 9/11 of that year. It was that week... my best friends family invited me to a Disney Vacation. My 1st time, we went to the Magic Kingdom, and BAM, Alien Encounter, we all went on it... maybe not Alien, but one hella scary Encounter for this 29YO! I was hooked. Revisited the Stich's Encounter later, but I will go to evenness knowing I encountered a Disney Extreme!

Awesome video! I was waiting for this! Also, there's a rumor that Wreck it Routh will replace Stitch.

I loved Alien Encounter it was great to have a mature attraction to counter the more childish elements of Disney world although I love that also.

I got to experience this back in 2002, and it was scary! Some idiot took his young child despite the warnings and this poor kid was traumatized! Screaming bloody murder, and once you were strapped in there was no leaving. I remember the creature breathing on my neck- so well done.

I was about 9 years old when I got to ride that ride. It scared the ever loving crap out of me... but I LOVED it. Once I calmed down and thought about it later I told my mom I wanted to ride again. By the time we got back to Disney World a couple years later it was gone :(. But it will always be a strong memory I have of my first trip to WDW

I went on this ride and it was truly something different. I think it was a great ride but put out too soon and people were not ready. I think if it was out today it would be more tolerable. The great movie ride at Hollywood Studios has an Alien set. I think it's ok for kids to be scared. There wasn't any bad language or outright violence. It was just loud and scary with some state of the art special effects.

I was seven years old when I rode this ride. I loved it. I k ew it wasn't real. But I was fascinated with the effects wondering how they were done at the time and thinking "This is so cool".

These are amazing videos! Thanks for uploading these!

I didn't even know I liked stuff like this but I keep finding myself watching your videos and I love em
