Originally posted by Main Street USA Ah, yeah, don't get me wrong, I really enjoyed Alien Encounter and never missed it during one of my yearly visits. I just wouldn't consider it on the same scale as these:
Splash Mountain
Space Mountain
Haunted Mansion
Pirates of the Caribbean
etc.
I'd consider something like Wishes and Illuminations to have better repeat value than AE, as well. They just have a much bigger "wow" factor, and also give a much more "Disney" and "magical" feeling for me.
And, BTW, Bill, TTA is open on E-Ride nights as well. Does that mean it's an E-Ticket? No. My favortie attraction? Yes.
Lets remember WDI have plans ready for a `Mermaid dark ride - from the original plans for DLP circa 1989-90. And with the progress in technology with TDLs 20,000 leagues, surely most of the R&D is already done?
