[marni1971]

^ `Chronicle :Alien Encounters` I believe? A docu about UFOs and Aliens with lots of `new` AE the attraction publicity?

What are you talking about?

Heres a link to the video i was talking about... http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=WwVZrIo7m9I

The ironic thing is, that's exactly why Disney pulled the plug on AE--because it wasn't appropriate to the young crowds...

Although I know what you mean, and I completely agree. If only Disney had originally placed it in MGM, I imagine it'd still be open today.

Do you by chance have a link to the JHM articles? Thanks!

yeah, I really wished they would have done an alien attraction over at mgm, instead of the brief scene on the great movie ride.

Here are the articles sir, they are really neat.

I remember watching it! This was for the Opening of the Attraction...In a way it would remind you of a Discovery Science special.

Before I waste a ton of time watching these specials, I seem to recall seeing comments on them on Mousebits saying there is very little WDW-related material on the videos...is that true? If so, are there certain minute marks (thereabouts) that are WDW-content?

Elongated head isn`t that far from the truth.

Here`s some more promo art showing the AA as it appeared in the theatres

And here is a model of the AA:

Scary!!

Marni is pretty much right.

I recommend just skipping them. I downloaded it expecting a behind the scenes thing, but it was just a crappy "documentary" about alien sitings like Roswell and such. Its kinda interesting, but not really much about the ride. I think the only things that have to do with the ride is like a little commercial kind of thing at the end, and I believe the interviews for the documentary take place in the ride que.

Shame I don't remember ANY of this attraction...I was too scared to open my eyes.

R.I.P Alien Encounter. You were an awesome and unique attraction. Bring back AE!

(that will NEVER happen)

I wish it would, I hope they bring back the x-s tech motif some day. I have high hopes.

Or bring back Alien Encounter and replace Skippy with Stitch so he'll be the victim! Then we'll all be semi happy!

You could put Richard Simmons in there instead of Stitch and create a scarier attraction.

Either bring back AE, or reinvent the area. Nobody likes being burped on, not even if it smells like Disney magic. :wave:
