I know it never really seemed Disney-like since it was pretty scary but it still seemed like a fun attraction to me.
Although I love AE I can see why they took it away. It wasn't very "Disney-Like", if you know what I mean. It was not kid friendly AT ALL since it was so scary; even for some adults. If you want to see a quick POV of it heres a link:I only wish I could have experienced it just once. I went to the MK many times before AE then never started going back till after it got "Stitched Up" so to speak.

He was a very resilient 7 year old.It closed when you were 7 years old?
Probably a lot. Disney has always tried to stay family oriented and original with all of their attractions and I think Alien Encounter was just an exception, so I agree its not to surprising it was removed.I loved Alien Encounter. But, I do understand why it was changed. I remember being scared the first time I watched it, and I was a teen when that happened. I can imagine that too many parents didnt bother with the warning signs and thought oh well its a Disney ride how scary could it be. Then spending the next hour or so trying to calm down there child. Also, I wonder how many complaints they got from said parents?
I still remember getting on the ride? It wasn't scary to me at even that age FYI.It closed when you were 7 years old?
From what I was told, it was the most complained about attraction in all of WDW by a fairly large margin.I loved Alien Encounter. But, I do understand why it was changed.

Possibly, but who is to say. Considering the problems that they had with M:S I doubt it would have made a difference. The problem is that Disney has a stigma for family friendly attractions. No matter how many warnings you put up or how severe you make them sound people still go at it with the "It is Disney. How bad could it be?" attitude.@Master Yoda. I have heard this before, but do you think it would have worked better at another park like DHS?
