Talk:ExtraTERRORestrial Alien Encounter

message: What a pity. This is probably my fondest memory of my family's visit to Walt Disney World in 1996. -Darric 20:56, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

message: I remember this ride, and wanted to elaborate on some of the controversial & violent aspects of this ride. If I remember right-- a maintenance worker was killed and mangled (complete with bone crunching noises), and they simulated blood dripping from the ceiling using drips of water. My memory is foggy, but I see a couple other mentions of this also:

"Alien Encounter Script"
Am I remembering this right? Can anyone else confirm?Gigglesworth 00:32, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

message: *I'd always assumed that "suspended indefinitely" meant he was killed off, so how comes he is in the Stitch replacement?  And, I can't believe Disney are selling toys of him.
*I don't believe it was a euphemism; suspending a transport would be a useful feature - the demonstration of which would conveniently end the endless complaining of Skippy.  Vortech (talk) 17:28, 31 May 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Skippy

message: *Is it worth mentioning that actually two people per show were selected to demonstrate the transporter, although, depending on where you are sitting, it often looks like just one?--TimothyJacobson (talk) 05:09, 2 December 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: when I was talking to an off-duty CM during the soft open for the ride, he claimed Lucas acted more like an editor - when they had a show ready he came out to the MK to see it.  He also claimed most of his suggestions were "make it scarier".  Obviously, it's just hearsay and not fit for inclusion, but it would explain how the show got progressively scarier before general open, and then progressively less scarier once Lucas moved on and Disney was in charge of the attraction.

thread_title: Suggestions re improving the wiki page

message: In the grid, it says that the number of audio-animatronics is 1 (plus 2 in preshow).  I would like to dispute this, because in the preshow, obviously SIR is an AA.  I am not sure whether Skippy counts as an AA, but assuming he does, surely there are two Skippys (one per tube, even though they are supposed to be the same one) meaning there are three in preshow.  Likewise, there are two identical rooms housing the mainshow, in the same way that there are two identical stretching rooms in Haunted Mansion.  Speeds up Guest Flow.  Both of the Mainshow rooms feature an alien, so surely that affects the total no of AAs--TimothyJacobson (talk) 05:09, 2 December 2008 (UTC)

message: This page seems to have changed quite a lot since I last visited it (which, according to my above comments, was in Dec 2008).  I think it needs a hell of a lot of citations, and quite a bit of it (such as who is in the cast) repeats itself.  When I have time, I will start a re-jig--TimothyJacobson (talk) 19:38, 14 June 2010 (UTC)

message: There is a comment on the page about "broken seat cover".  What does this refer to?--TimothyJacobson (talk) 19:38, 14 June 2010 (UTC)

message: I do think the line between Comedy and Horror can be very blurry (and that can be used to interesting effect) but Alien Encounter seemed to lean further into horror than comedy, despite having some dark humour with SIR and Skippy. Should it be changed to something along the lines of "the attraction had a horror theming with elements of dark humour?" CatCet (talk) 03:54, 2 January 2024 (UTC)
