I was bummed when I heard that it switched. I never got to see Alien Encounter.

Ever since it switched to Stitch I feel like he is everywhere! I bought Disney dollars the other day for our November trip, and he was on the dollars too!
Gettin' a little tired of the guy!

Re: What happened to Alien Encounter?!

I personally love the switch to Stitch. I hated AE and like Stitch Better. i love the part where he fights over a chili dog.

Re: What happened to Alien Encounter?!

I may not hate Stitch himself, but I'm sorry- the ride stinks. They could have done MUCH better with it. Something needs to be done with it (either fix the ride, or put something new there).

Re: What happened to Alien Encounter?!

Eh, I would rather use CoP to get off my feet then SGE.

Re: What happened to Alien Encounter?!

Yeah, at least on CoP you don't have to worry about the dog burping something nasty in your face.

That ride is awful. But at least I can say that I have ridden it.


I think they ought to replace it with the old House of the Future attraction. You could take a "walkthough" of what a futuristic house would be like. Imagine what it would look like today!

And I also wish they'd bring back the Skyway to Fantasyland. (Hint, hint, wink wink Disney)

I have to agree with you there, G00fyDad. Even though I was always scared on the Skyway, I still miss it.

(Isn't this thread a bit old?)

Re: What happened to Alien Encounter?!

LOL - a 4 year old thread? Someone's been trawling the old stuff. Still, it's created interest in an old subject!

I'm with GD and Alice on the Skyway - I loved it.

I look at that stroller park now and always wish the skyway made a return to WDW.

Re: What happened to Alien Encounter?!

I would love it if they bought the skyway back, I only ever got to ride it once, but it was so beautiful to see the park from up there.

I think they could do something more with the stitch encounter, its a long queue now for something rather boring. Time to bring something more futuristic to Tomorrowland?
