E.T. Adventure General Discussion

Unless they get replaced by non-screen rides

I want ET replaced with a better ET.

I feel like they've stalled "ET" for this long for a reason. Maybe in a way, it IS the park's classic. I mean I think Jaws is more iconic, Kongfrontation too, but I don't think ET was always intended to be the classic. . . but now it is. I know in the previous night show, ET had a lot of attention. I feel like while Hollywood got rid of theirs, Orlando's ET has a bit of time left.

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.

Keep the bikes.

Re-do the AA's, effects, and overhaul flyover & Green Planet scenes.

That's all. Modernizes a classic while still keeping the aesthetic people loved.

I tried watching the movie recently and just didn't enjoy it. I like the ride. I go on it every trip. Having said that, if they have a better idea for a ride to put there I'm all for it.

I question the humanity of someone who cannot enjoy ET the film. :tease:

Humanity is something we Men In Black agents have to leave behind in the defense of humanity.

Yes! A Disneyland Diamond Anniversary treatment is my wish! Also get rid of the ET saying your name gimmick

Own it on BlueRay, on Prime Video, and just bought the 4k BR because ET (and I just got the new LG C8 OLED).

Looks like we finally have a photo of the original spaceship ride vehicle
There's also a very short snippet of video of it at 49:43

Shh.....we must keep our dark ride. A better ET would probably mean continuing to “ride bikes”.......but in front of a giant screen.

 

[snayberry]

Got to ride this again on my trip. I went on with my family, love the smell in the queue. This is a classic ride for me and love that it’s all physical sets, a little outdated but still a good ride.

i do love the first half of this ride. the fist scenes and the forest are truly magical for me
i even love the older animatronics of the cops and i love the cars, i love flying over the city as well

but i cannot stand the moment you go into his world. the second half of the ride is such a nightmare for me and ruins the experience,
those creatures are so ugly and so annoying. they dont fit with the theme of et and they are too goofy. i have always wished that the ride was nothing but et.
the movie is so iconic and the first half is such a great experience of flying in the air... but that second part.... oh god, it is such a drag lol

 

[Galaxy Defender]

I keep asking the team members there if we can zap the aliens in this ride and they keep saying no.

You know what else is a drag? The video in the queue where Steven Spielberg is talking about the creatures at the end, giving them ludicrous names and such like they're actually important.

Ludicrous names? Obviously you haven’t read the book
E.T. went home alright, and maybe he should have stayed there… | Branded in the 80s

excuse my ignorance, I haven't. I have only seen the movie about twice, and I never found it a priority to revisit it much. I only listen to the soundtrack once in awhile. :shrug:

Oh, I was being sarcastic, the book is a mess. But that’s where all the characters on the ride come from, Universal didn’t invent them.

Every time I see that video I think of how much Spielberg needs acting lessons.

He can get other people to act but not himself. Tragic.
