What if Disney brought back Alien Encounter?

[kjb101791]

I would love to see something like Alien Encounter come back. An attraction for adults to enjoy. What's the harm in ONE ride in the entire park being exclusively for adults? It had PLENTY of signage to this effect so people whose kids got scared should blame themselves for taking their kids on it -- not like they weren't warned.

I am honestly shocked Stitch is still running considering all the bad reviews it gets. I guess it's cheaper to just leave it in place than to bother coming up with something new, but to me, most of the elements from AE that a kid would have been scared about (darkness, noise, restraints) still exist in Stitch so not sure why it was worth changing as the fundamentals are the same and could still frighten children. So we lost a great attraction for a very slightly more kid friendly version of the same thing.

Because the point of Disney parks were to be a place "...where parents and children could have fun- together". That's not to say some kids may not enjoy something a little scarier. But if it harms the overall image that Disney World, particularly the Magic Kingdom, is trying to achieve, then maybe it isn't a good fit.

Alien Encounter was a really great ride, but after a few rides it lost the wow factor. I don't mind that it is gone, but I would prefer something besides Stitch.

I agree with you. Maybe they could mix it up with different places for the alien to attack from at random. Have a few different versions to keep you off guard.
