ExtraTERRORestrial Alien Encounter, Dark amusement ride in Tomorrowland, Florida, US
ExtraTERRORestrial Alien Encounter transported guests into a science fiction story where a teleportation demonstration resulted in the release of an aggressive extraterrestrial creature.
The attraction operated from June 20, 1995 to 2003 at Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom, representing Disney's attempt to create content for teenage and adult audiences.
The ride shifted Disney's traditional family-friendly approach by introducing intense psychological elements and horror components into their theme park attractions.
Located at coordinates 28.4186, -81.5797, the attraction featured warning signs about darkness and loud noises, making it unsuitable for young children or sensitive individuals.
The experience incorporated physical effects such as water mist and air jets to simulate alien presence, while guests remained secured in theater-style seats throughout the presentation.
