E.T. Adventure General Discussion

[Mad Dog]

The only hurdle with a Godzilla/Monster Island section would be that the monumental size the creatures in the traditional Godzilla universe - far bigger than dinosaurs or Kong - limits the sorts of things you can do with a ride.

They can borrow Ant Man from the Avengers to shrink Godzilla down to Kong size.

I think that's called acceptance. The final stage of the five stages of grief

By someday I mean long after I have passed away.

Did you ride Kong in the rain today?

Did you ride Kong in the rain today?

Went on after the rain moved on. It was dark by the time we actually boarded the vehicle.

Outside open or not? How did it look in the evening ?

Don't know where else to put this but multiple people on WDWmagic said Botanicus is back.

Thanks for the info. The queue for E.T is much more entertaining when Botanicus is there.

 

[Mad Dog]

I've seen that mentioned there too..... Botanicus is really hit & miss over the years. One vacation he's there, the next he's gone. One day he's gone, the next he's back. He's a tricky little devil....One of my fav AA's anywhere though. Many a time I forego using my Hotel Express so I can walk over to standby,take a deep breath of pine, linger in the greatest forest queue ever, and watch Botanicus do his thing. Pure enchantment to me. I'll be in the park in 12 days, hope he's still working then.

The ET ride might outlive us all.

I hope so! Spread my ashes in the forest queue :ded:

I would need to go through the regular line to see this animatronic? I have never gone through the regular lines. Need to check them out sometime.

Not sure about liking this. He's back, and was just out of commission for a bit after this last upkeep.

He's back! :celebrate:

Godspeed ET! To the Green Planet!

<—- sorry guys, I was just on vacaction for a few weeks to the home planet. I’m back, so go help find Tickly.

I like E.T. but I wouldn't be sad if it gets ripped out and remade with all new tech. What if the bikes where on a kuka arm, new effects, tweaked story, updated AA's, potc level projection effects... That ride would fit next to the new Back to the future and Jaws ride. Put it in the Spielberg Movies section of the new park.

I feel like one good thing about F&F is that it should buy at least a little time for ET, MIB, and The Mummy. Not to say they were going anywhere to begin with, but with "too many screenz" being a common/growing complaint I feel like all of a sudden these rides have more value from a guest satisfaction perspective.

Unless they get replaced by non-screen rides
