This is the full ExtraTERRORestrial Encounter experience from when it was in Tomorrowland at Walt Disney World! It starts with the 2 pre-shows that include Chairman Clench from X-S Tech, S.I.R. (Simulated Intelligence Robotics) and Skippy, and then the attraction itself. Alien Encounter opened in 1995 (I recorded this footage in 1996) and was eventually closed in 2003 and changed into Stitch's Great Escape - a less scary attraction.

Video doesn't do this justice for those who never got to experience it lol. The seats and room basically had blasts of air to feel like flapping wings as it flew, water squirts like spit or sweat drops or whatever from the alien, something under the seat that would flick out at your ankles feeling similar to something like a snakes tongue, pulsating hot air on your neck that felt like breathing. It was crazy how good this attraction was and probably one of my most favorite ever.
As i read that i felt every memeory
Did the seats move at all? Or was it just effects to make the alien feel like it's there?
@@brandoncantoran6190 the top of the seats would move. The harness. So it felt like it was right on top of you apparently
I remember that ride as a kid. It was awesome. However, I remember the water coming down exactly when the maintenance work gets eaten so I’m guessing it wasn’t spit or sweat they were going for.
Thank you for explaining. I figured it had to do with a 4D element but you can’t tell when it’s all pitch black for minutes on end.
Someone give an Oscar to the guy screaming “HES GOT ME” 🤣
I thought he said, “HE’S COMING!!!”
That was actually part of the attraction.😅

He actually said “HE’S COMING” at 13:09
🤣😂
This can't even begin to capture how terrifying this was. People were openly weeping as they walked out.
It was my favorite too when I was a little kid and it made me cry from being scared. My folks were like.. WTF.. never expected something like this at Disney.
I mean, imagineers. Mostly, they're tasked with creating happy things, but they're still the most creative engineers on the planet. When tasked with creating terror, we shouldn't be surprised that they bring the same enthusiasm and skill.
I went on this ride as a young little girl and walked out crying my eyes out from how scary this was. I was mortified! I remember being super still and trying not to make a sound inside while the alien was running around loose. I remember it breathing hot air behind my neck and spitting at me with the water machines in the front 😮 but in the darkness you think its real and right in front of you 😂
I remember going on this when I was like 4 or 5 years old. Screaming so hard that a cast member came and let me out of the seat in the middle of the ride and picked me up and took me outside. He helped me through my first ever panic attack and then when I calmed down I realized my dad was still inside and I had another one. He told me my dad was a hero to save the people and that he single handedly was rescuing everyone. I was so thrilled to know that my dad would be ok. I also remember there being a garbage can that moved around by itself and it talked to us. Does anyone else remember the talking trash cans because that was soooo cool and I don't know if I made it up or not haha
@@ddb592That's such a sweet story. Theme park workers in the 90's were just built different. I remember I was obsessed with Hercules: the Legendary Journeys when I was little and when I saw a Kevin Sorbo impersonator at Universal, I immediately ran up to hug his leg. He picked me up and talked to me just like he was Hercules. I was so lucky I got to meet my hero at 6 years old.

That main desk animatronic is the best I’ve seen to this day. And it’s 2019
WarriorCatsOhYeah rocket for the new gog ride is pretty cool!!!
Hando and that Na'avi person on the river journey are the closest and they were made in recent years. It blows my mind they've had the ability to make a completely life-like animatronic and didn't utilize the technology more, maybe it's expensive?
AND voiced by Tim Curry? I wanna see that bot just because, even if he's not in any ride. Just an animatronic voiced by Tim Curry already made me happy to see
Literally thought it was a puppet cause it’s so smooth
I was gonna say it’s super beautifully built and its movements are so fluid and smooth
People clearly loved that attraction. A few complained that it was too intense and Disney caved. There were plenty of warning signs. Too bad it’s gone.
John Sisti I guarantee it was more than a few also the biggest mistake was putting in the middle of the straight up Disney magic kingdom this would have been perfect for Hollywood studios instead of Tomorrowland
And most of those complaints were from lazy parents who ignore warnings!
Also, the guy who plays “Clench” (the guy who decides he wants to come here) was arrested for child porn and something like luring a young boy. So, if you’re Disney, and the main actor from your ride is a registered sex offender, you’re probably going to stop showing anything with him in it. They could’ve just kinda reshot the explanation scenes, but c’est la vie… 🤷🏽♂️
Since Stitch is gone (thank god) and since Disney owns Alien, they could retool the attraction into it was originally supposed to be: an attraction about Xenomorph
I still don’t think Xenomorph is ever gonna come to the parks anymore. Alien is rated R and that’s not against Disney Park property
I loved this attraction! It was a 4D experience. I remembered the chairs had stereo speakers. During the course of the dialogue, the room would thumped with alien footsteps or the chair would shake when the flying alien landed on your chair. The chair would rattle when the alien tried to break into your chair. There was hot air blown on your neck for alien breath, little tassels or air jets blown on your head to simulate alien tongue flicking or tentacles touching your hair. These sensations were delivered to you while you were sitting in darkness. Then your imagination amplified everything that was happening. Not everyone would experience these sensations at the same time because part of feeling the fear came from hearing other people experiencing the sensations before you do. It was a very well psychologically designed and timed ride. Even the adults came out scared.

That's not was 4D is
@@KingNoobInc in scientific terms no but in ride terms yes
No way
Yep i remember feeling all of that when i did this experience i was 14 and i was screaming 😂
If parents complained about kids being scared the demonstration section was your warning. This is a SCARY ride
Don't you know it's no longer a parents job to parent their children. It the rest of the world's. The ride had warning signs posted at the entrance and throughout the queue line saying that it had lighting effects that could be dangerous to people with epilepsy and that it had thematic sequences of horror. Parents chose to ignore those warnings and then blame Disney when their children came off crying.
I went on this ride when i was in first grade (7 years old) by the time we got to the sign warning us "hey don't take in younger kids" we were already waiting in the line for over an hour so my dad put his foot down and said "we waited this long, we are not leaving this line". I spent that night curled up in a ball under every blanket possible because I was so terrified of that ride lmao.
@@caitosaurusrex7363 There were signs literally THROUGHOUT the queue line and one right at the front entrance along with the warning signs for health risks. So it's on your father for missing them all until the last one. I'm sorry you were scared but that's a parental issue NOT a park issue and people who enjoyed the ride shouldn't have lost it due to bad parenting. If you were in line for over an hour than there's literally no excuse for missing MULTIPLE warning signs.
@@caitosaurusrex7363 I can respect that way of thinking
@@brandielittle186 oh im not saying its the park's fault. my dad was (and still is) a dumbass LOL sorry if my point was not made well ;;-;;
Wow the animatronics back then were pretty good, the robots movements were so smooth and the bug alien breaking the glass was astonishing
Got to give it to Disney for doing such a great job on making things so realistic
George lucas designed it
They're working on realism again and I'm super excited
It was also very realistic when the alien broke the glass you could feel it hit you shortly after. It hurt a bit.
@@JanathanTran T.O.M 2000
It's a nightmare ride that everyone try to escape
This needs to come back no matter how terrifying.
They should make it even scarier!
Yes!!
Yeah, they should put the Xenomorph in the ride
Should have remodelled it, kept the theme, and put an age limit on it 🤔

I was 7 and begged my Dad to take me on this ride because I loved outer space. This ride absolutely terrified me, and I cried. We didn’t know it was going to be scary, and the whole unexpectedness of the rouge alien intercepting the transport and all the screaming had me thinking it was real and actually gonna eat us.
I thought that too
@@jeffhandley3224 1994
They had signs everyplace telling you NOT to take in children under 12 it was going to be scary....your dad did you a disservice
There were warning signs warning riders how scary this could potentially be as well as a 13 and up ride restriction. Those were clear signs there on how scary this could be...

On this ride you were strapped in to your seat - no escape - sound effects are in the headset right next to your ears - when the lights went out and the sound of glass breaking - and they tell you the alien has escaped - and then they hit you with all the effects - water in your face - hot breath on your neck - something touching your legs - - - did i mention it's pitch black in the room & you can't move from your seat !! Believe me if I hadn't have been strapped in I'd have been outta there like a rocket ( & i was 45 at the time !!)
Skippy was the cutest darn thing ever and didn’t deserve such disrespect! I absolutely loved this attraction, it was one the best parts of my family’s only trip to Disney.

1 sounded like a high pitch tom and Jerry scream
Now i wasn’t alive when this ride was still there but I gotta say
I WANT TO RIDE THIS SOOOO BAAD it looks amazing! It’s looks so thrilling and I’m a fan or proper horror
I live for horror movies, rides, exhibits, etc. I went on this when i was about 8. I legit thought me and my dad were going to die. It was terrifying. I only just remembered this ride and googled it. I would have loved it if I were like 13 or something lol.
They should bring it back but at Hollywood Studios instead of Magic Kingdom.
They should bring this back since now they have the rights to 20th century fox
candy lover12 same tho
This was my favorite ride back in the day... I had to basically drag my parents to it every time. 🤣 I was between 10 and 12 when I first experienced it and I enjoyed every incredibly scary moment. I was so sad the day they replaced it with that lame copy ‘Stitch Great Escape’. Looking forward to the day it gets replaced.
I wish I had a real life time machine to actually get to experience something like this in person for once. But for now, this will do.
Time machines will come soon enough
You and me both, I’d love to be there to witness this it looks so dope!
I really enjoyed this experience, it was so much better than stitch, but a little to intense for children. I think they should have kept it and added an age restriction. There are a lot of adults and teens they would still enjoy a scare thrill. Thanks for sharing
Should’ve been ages 13 and up
I was 12 when I rode this...and the most terrifying experience of my life
Then, they should’ve relocated this to MGM Studios
I am currently in Disney and I love stitch but I am also a massive alien fan and wish this was still here
If I remember, this attraction was littered with warnings. I imagine most families just ignored them since most attractions for the time was family oriented.

like to watch a bunch of

@@elvingarcia3010 I hate that Wreck-It Ralph is replacing S.I.R.'s attraction. I know Stitch ruined it years ago and turned S.I.R. into a pansy policeman, but now the chances of him returning are zero? I hate you, Disney. Always shoving IPs everywhere. Bring back OPs! Bring back S.I.R.!
@@YuukiTakemoto1996 I would love a wreck it Ralph IP somewhere else. But not in tomorrowland. I don’t really like the idea of bringing back old attractions but this feels like an exception. It’s not massive and the space should still be somewhat intact. Plus they took it out for being too scary for the time but that’s arguably what Disney needs now more than ever. Heck, I’d they really want IP, they own alien now so they can actually implement that as apart of the story as originally planned.

It seems like it would be more accepting now a days
This ride was actually SUPPOSED to be based on the movie Alien, but the crew decided that the Xenomorph couldn't be used. This was their own lore and story they made specially for the ride

I thought I heard that too.
One of the best attractions ever created. Such a shame it was replaced by Stitch's Great Mistake for being "too scary."
Great ride? Are you crazy? It’s extremely disturbing! Fake or not, burning alien animals in front of kids thinking this is real is just disturbing! People screaming that this thing was on the lose trying to kill people? It’s just sick and cruel! This was teaching kids to be cruel as well as scaring them.. not a good Disney ride!
@@Dolcevita_bakes this ride wasn't meant for kids, and there were warnings about how scary it was. Also...The Haunted Mansion's stretching room makes kids cry all the time. It's loud, dark, and has a corpse hanging from a noose, and an ax wielding bride who beheaded her husbands. Pirates has characters who drink, steal, murder, and burn down the city. You go to hell in Mr. Toad. Pinocchio has kids who turn into donkeys for drinking and smoking. Tower of Terror has five guests die in an elevator. You call any of that kid friendly? Disney has always had dark and cruel subject matter and has never been just for kids, and Alien Encounter wasn't teaching kids to be cruel. It was an experience set in a fictional universe. Is Constance teaching kids that it's okay to behead husbands? Are pirates teaching kids that it's okay to pillage and plunder?
I honestly don’t think this ride closed because it was “too scary” I think it closed because of Geoffrey Jones. Incase you didn’t know, in 2001/2002, Geoffrey Jones was arrested for taking nude photos of an underaged boy. Pedophilia and Sexual harassment are big no nos for Disney. So rather than reshooting the scenes with other actor, they changed the overall ride.
Stitch's great escape wasn't that bad. I thought it was fun when I was a kid

With Disney now owning Fox, they should bring back Alien Encounter but make it an Alien movie theme with a Xenomorph or a Xenomorph Queen in it.
And make this ride only for teens/older teens and adults.
some engineers trying to experiment while the queen wrecs havoc
Even before they owned Fox, the originally plan was to have the Alien be a Xenomorph & Fox was willing to let them use the rights (for $ of course) but Disney thought that a character from an R-rated movie wasn’t appropriate for the park.

That day I actually believed that the alien was really behind me only when it broke out because you could hear its growling by your ear due to the speaker on every seat. I realized a few years later lol. This was so good!!
I’m so sorry to hear that
Oh my god I’m in tears from the nostalgia. I was 9 when my dad had to literally drag me into this. I was so scared I hated everything remotely scary. Randomly thought of it and this video has allowed me to relive the experience thank you.

This ride didn’t just terrify me as a child, it traumatized me. Not allowing me to enjoy the rest of my family vacation. Funny how things have changed, as I am a huge Sci-fi and horror fan. I’d love to ride it now.
Also cool to know it’s Tyra Banks and Jeffrey Jones in the intro video, and Tim Curry doing their voice of S.I.R.
Too bad Jeffrey Jones got caught with [REDACTED] porn.
Corey Burton or Lance Henriksen should voice S.I.R. I think you know why.
I thought that was her !!! Lol
Funny how these sorts of things that were once scary end up being a part of our lives. I used to HATE horror as a kid. Now, I’d describe myself as a casual fan.
This and the jaws ride. What a traumatizing experience for me as a child. Now Alien and Jaws movie are a couple of my favorite movies of all time.😂
Thanks for improving my bad day with this great trip back in time! This ride scared me both times I went on it, but I loved its story and characters. This attraction really shows how much you can scare people with sound and touch effects alone.
So you were touched when the lights were out?
Is that why everybody was screaming, it was like; the "alien" broke out of the cylinder and was touching people?
Alpha Omega's Watchwoman The special effects created that illusion during the darkness. The chairs vibrated, the binaural audio made chewing sounds, the shoulder restraints moved up and down, some kind of string fluttered on the back of the head, etc.
@@josephbrown9685 -- Thanks for the explanation of the rigged effects. That's really creepy. Yikes! 😬😂
Yes! And I remember the feeling of the alien “breathing” on your neck and “running around” touching everyone
@@tmalone2530 Yes! They shot air from the seats onto your neck. One part of the auditorium would scream and you wouldn't know why and then it would 'breathe' on you as if it was making it's way around the room. It was so dark in there and made all the more frightening by the seat restraints
They need to remake this with an Xenomorph
It was originally supposed to be one but they couldn't get the rights or something.
@@TECfan1 Lucky for them they own the rights now, so maybe they could bring it back.
Demonte Smith who knows
I thought too when my wife and her daughter went...it really scared some kids .....one girl was screamming so loud i got a headache
@@TECfan1 it wasn't because of rights but because the others including George Lucas said that a Xenomorph is too scary for Disney so they did this instead
This really shook me up as a kid. The brilliance of it is how they force you to use your imagination to terrorize you in pitch black dark. The things that stood out to me were seeing the thing flailing around in the tube, and feeling bursts of air and water/saliva in your face in the dark.
So that was the main thing, then? Just the ambience terrifying you, with your mind painting the picture in the dark, as you felt the alien’s “breath” and “saliva” fell on you?
@@jasoncinema yes, and very well put. In 1996 I was 7 years old so it was freaking out my little kid mind.
This was definitely one of the SCARIEST rides at disney. My sister talked me into going on this and halfway through it I was having a panic attack and starter punching "my sister". But at the end when the lights came back on it was some stranger/guy. He was rubbing his arm and said "I feel sorry for whoever you meant to be hitting". I was mortified and still trying to get over my panic attack. Trying to mumble an apology and get the heck out of dodge. 😱
Gone but never forgotten...
This would absolutely DESTROY a child in 2020
Yeah that's true. I never got to go on this, but I imagine it's better than Stitch's Not-so-great escape... I'd rather be scared on this than have to deal with that chilli dog smell again...
Of TRUST ME
*-/it just got another/-*
yup can confirm, this was
definitely one of my worst memories that I have from my childhood, i was 6 or 7 years old and couldnt stop screaming/crying lol
A lot of 90s kids were traumatized by it too.
Yep... today’s kids would protest or something
May I use this footage in a video I'm making about scary Disney animatronics? I will give your channel full credit.

I was gonna make one to but about the history dude also I love your vids
Went on this ride in '96 at the age of 7 - SCARED THE CRAP OUT OF ME! I dont think my eyes were open for the entire ride thus I never saw the actual alien until watching this video. At the time I'd just watched Aliens (1986) and I'd thought that the "Alien" we were encountering was a xenomorph - I've believed that for the past 25 years...
Omg
You and me both. Lol
Forget Area 51!, this is much cooler!!
Im raiding it anyways

I rode this with my family when I was 15. I was torn between laughter, fear and pain (my mum was gripping my hand so tight my fingers turned blue). But I loved it. I wanted to ride it again. I miss this ride.
So weird, I was 11 and had the exact same experience. My hand was cramped so bad after the ride.
@@doublefeature Phil Hartman as T.O.M 2000
It's more of a show
I only went on this once, but it was a memory I'll cherish forever. And I'll never forget how upset and how dissapointed I was going back to the park and having it gone when I went back
I was laughing the whole time. It was absolutely amazing... warm water rains down on you the moment a crewmate is eaten. Psychological horror but absolutely hilarious and well executed. Still a bit too scary for the little ones and claustrophobic people. I miss it. One of the best dark rides of all time.
I like how they move so fluidly. It's amazing
I’m 37, was there at around 7/8 yrs old around this time and I can say that this was terrifying as a kid. The alien broke out, killed scientists, “blood” was sprayed on your face (water), hot air blew on your neck as if the alien was right behind you and you were next! Something hitting your feet all the while the lights are flickering and you can see the alien running around the room. Was awesome but also super scary as a kid. Nostalgic!
I’m 38 and this post is a year ago so you’re 38-39 now you were not 7/8 when this came out in 1995 you were 10 or possibly 11 I don’t quite know your age i went on when I was 10 and it scared the crap out of me and I wish I could go on it again now
Imagine being the alien tho. You’re just minding your own business and then you’re just randomly teleported to a different planet lmao.
does anyone know where i can some behind the scenes images of the alien? i really want to get a good look at it

Haunted Mansion is meant to be mysterious, like a thriller, then turns into typical Disney fare. In China, they banned it because it was seen as making fun of the dead.@@starmancrusader
This is so cool. I wish we still had attractions this creative today.
Ikr
I know people don't like Eisner very much anymore but let's be real-- Disney's creativity flourished and hit its peak when he was in charge. I miss the Eisner era when rides were based on original creations rather than IP.
I was traumatized by this ride when I was a kid, haha. My mom had taken me to Disney the Christmas after my grandmother passed away in '94. I was 7 at the time. I remember feeling so helpless, being restrained in those seat harnesses and it feeling so real that the alien was actually loose in the room behind me. My mom has laughed about it hysterically throughout the years whenever we talk about this ride when it comes up in conversation at any family function. It definitely left a long-lasting impression on me that I won't forget for the rest of my life! So glad I found this video and could relive this as an adult. Just wish I could repay the favor to my children the same way! A kid's imagination is a powerful thing! XD
Kendrick Mather I was 7 as well, my dad took my sister and I to the rid and I had many nightmares and was incredibly shook afterwards I started to cry getting outside with my sister and dad.
14:12 I don’t care what you say, the kid who yelled “Yes there is!” is definitely the type of person to survive a horror movie by just going “ah hell nah I’m getting outta here”
I wish I was old enough around that time to see it, it looks like fun
Scariest experience ever. The experience was much more intense than you can imagine.
I remember the kid sitting next to me trying to get out of his chair ...and his mom freaking out....yelling let us out let us out....it was great!
did they let them out? lmao
This ride honestly would be amazing to experience.
THIS!!!!!! I want some vintage full ride throughs from 1990s on. There has to be enough footage around to piece them together.

Went with a big group of friends during our first year of college to Disney. None of us knew anything about how this ride was. Before that I had never legit screamed on an amusement park ride. I did on this, and haven’t ever since.
I went on this in 97 I was 8 years old and it scared the life out of me ... Literally
This was one of the most sensory attractions Disney ever had. It was so much fun!
9:30 "OH GOD... LEMME OUT! *LEMMEOUT* "
This sounds like someone's grumpy Grandma running out of patients.
I was more like "Wait, what does this do?"
The people at the exit: LET ME IN! LET ME ÆÆÆÆÆÆÆÆÆÆÆÆÆÆÆÆÆ
Probably the coolest ride I've ever been on in my life. Like everyone's saying, this video doesn't even do it justice because you can't feel and hear all the other stuff going on while you were on it. Damn shame they dont still have it somewhere. It was like nothing else I can think of anywhere.
More plot and a better story than most feature length films today.
This ride was by far the most terrifying experience of my childhood. This video doesn't do it justice. Lol.
Finally new footage that is freshly new love it!!

They need to bring this back.. you had to be there to feel how scary it was !
This was SO f-ing scary as Hell...you can feel the Alien's breath on your neck, pressure on your shoulders, and growling in your ear! This is terrifying to experience it. Video can't really give you that real fear feeling that you can 'in person'
“The alien cannot fly out!” *FLIES OUT* “is out! The alien flew out!” 🤦🏻♂️ typical movie scene ! 😂
“Don’t scream”
Everybody: *lol ok*
😂😂
I was too little and wouldn't go on it but my dad couldn't stop talking about it! He was blown away because he thought from the restraints it was some kind of coaster and was not expecting it! He loved it and the whole time I'm watching other kids and preteens exiting the building crying 😂
This ride was amazing. It had the best queue in addition to the ride
The way XS is depicted as somewhat of an evil corporation obsessed with profit over people's safety is very ironic considering where this ride was placed
I must have been like 10 when I went on this attraction. Was this the one where you felt the alien on your shoulders and heard him like right in front of you? Also I think water was blown in your face. You felt like the alien was really there about to touch you. But you couldn’t see it.
Andres Morales oh my 😳😳
Yes that was part of this experience
I was 7 when I first went to this rid, there is also a water/ blood spatter from above when one of the technicians was eaten by the alien. That and everything else terrified me, had nightmares and cried after getting off the rid.
@@sexykitty4life We're in the same boat. I was 8 and cried during it and after.
This ride was absolutely terrifying as a 4 year old lol I dont know what my parents were thinking taking me on this, i bet i would have loved it as an adult though
How different is the experience in person compare to this video?
@@RepublicTrooper125 its pretty scary in person, the 4D elements were pretty good for the time of the ride. Like it really felt like there was a hot breath on the back your neck from what I remember.

"Don't scream!"
*Screaming intensifies*
An attraction that you would officially believe that you are.... screwed :'D
“The future waits for no one. Not even you.”
I remember the experience like it was yesterday back in 1996 when this first appeared. By far one of the best attractions in the park when it came to Total fear and panic. They did an incredible job and it's a shame they got rid of it.
I worked at Disney for a year and had one shift in Tomorrowland. Since this ride is now defunct, the stage/seating served as a break room for my area... needless to say I had flashbacks to this thing. I did this attraction when I was five years old and was traumatized by it - especially when you'd feel the hot breath on the back of your neck.
Walking into the break room, seeing this place lit up in only orange lighting with the seats and alien chamber still intact, sent chills up my spine. Man... I wish this attraction was still a thing!
Wow 😮 Do u know why they never put another atraction in that place?
@@Leandro-xk3co They tried replacing it with a Stitch themed attraction but it got horrible reviews (lots of people thought it was too babyish and cringe-y). As to why they still haven't done anything with it yet, I'm not sure. Probably too focused on new rides instead of tampering with the relics.
