I went on Alien Encounter in like 6th grade and I was screaming in my seat the whole ride. Apparently there were CMs searching for me to help me out of the ride, but they never found me. I'm sure my meltdown made it an enjoyable experience for everyone else, probably added to the atmosphere...
My wife and I noticed it too. We were wondering if they put some new animals in, like we noticed a cat on top of one of the graves we never saw before. Or they simply touched up the reflective paint and brightened the spotlighting.
Don't forget to check out our upcoming Disney+ documentary and coffee table book "One Day at Disney" that shows how much our Cast Members love working for us and have amazing, stress-free lives outside of our parks!
Ah, it was fun thinking it was going to be a new park, especially because it was announced within days of the Universal announcement. I'm not outraged at Disney, but I will definitely say this announcement was quite the "surprise". Good or bad? I will leave that up to you.
