Fun Fact: Steven Speilberg said he would cut all his ties to universal if they removed this ride (guess that's one reason why they still have this ride)
I know they do this cause it’s cheaper to manage 3D type of rides but I’m so glad Steven Spielberg is doing that. No ride is as immersive as the ET ride.
The smell in that que area and the whole forest where Botanucis is like another attraction. I may be biased, ET is my very favorite ride out of all the rides in all the parks.
I remember when they had the scare a year or two ago, with the company making that scent going out of business. Everyone was so sad it wouldn't stay smelling like that, but I think they finally found a new provider and got the old recipe going again.
This is the best quality ride thru of E.T. that I've ever seen. I actually noticed new elements like Elliot's hide out in the beginning, always seem to miss that. Also there's a few things that move when you fly over the city. Wow, great work with this one, it's like i'm there.
For awhile the queue would issue you an intergalactic passport, and ET would actually say goodbye to you by name as you exited the ride. The timing rarely worked, but it was such a cool concept!
I was just on it two weeks ago, and he most certainly said the names! Actually a whole group of people gave their name as "Bob," so ET just said "goodbye, Bob Bob Bob Bob Bob Bob Bob...."
Just went on the 10th. I'm a regular park goer and I swear, even the forest loading area looked updated to perfection. Also glad to see they still kept my favorite Easter eggs of Officer Micheal Jackson! 😁
I was obsessed with ET as a kid- so fun story, my mom worked in the tourist industry and one of her spots was installing a new system that needed special sound and video- so she was at Skywalker Ranch, where they were touring yhe facility and came across a little old lady in a sound booth reading a giant list of names in alphabetical order- it was ETs voice recording lines for this ride! The guide apparently was like "I'm not 100% sure thats for ET but-" My poor mom who had been forced to listen to ET like 20 times cut him off, "That is EXACTLY ET." And made them move on because she was sick of hearing it
Looks like it's had a recent refurbishment. Very nice! Here's hoping that Universal focuses on keeping their existing Orlando parks in the best shape possible as Epic Universe debuts next year.
100% BETTER THAN PETER PAN!!!! I DO NOT understand how the lines for Peter Pan continue to be as long as they are. This ride surpases Disney's original in every way, even the times it isn't fully working! I say this not just as a theme park fan, but a Disney fan as well.
There is a lot of nostalgia for Peter Pan because it was an opening day attraction at Disneyland. But ET is absolutely the better ride. Better queue. Better animatronics. Better paced. Actually has a coherent story.
Why would people from his OWN planet call him E.T.? Anyway, all you have to do is watch Robot Chicken's instructional video about what happened after he returned home. His name is Kleeborg.

Yet the Hollywood one got removed!

@@pem1974 that was a negotiation
And it sadly got replaced with the Mummy in Hollywood
@@Movies-k3y Not the one in Orlando. It still lives on and I think got some love outside the ride when the Kids Zone was being redone into Shrek.

This ride must stay permanently at Universal Studios. It's a classic.

when i went back in february of this year, they still did it! definitely added to the experience ☺️
They still do it after the recent refurbishment
It's back! He does not again now!
I was just on it two weeks ago, and he most certainly said the names! Actually a whole group of people gave their name as "Bob," so ET just said "goodbye, Bob Bob Bob Bob Bob Bob Bob...."
I said my name was Micky Mouse. It didn’t work 😂
Wish they would bring back the et ride here in California 😢
Yes! Either that or they add amazing smells to Secret Life of Pets and Mario Kart, but yeah.
This ride sure never gets old!
何もかもが懐かしい
日本のE.T.adventureはもうなくなっててしまった
懐かしいね。ライドに乗る前に名前を聞かれて「なんだろう?」と思っていたら、最後に名前をE.Tに呼んでもらえて嬉しかった記憶があるよ。
Lol ET's home planet looks like it was designed by someone on LDS 😂
I can just smell the ride through the screen and I miss it
I’m old enough to remember when E.T. said your name at the ending 🤯
Same
He still does- I was just there two weeks ago.

many people don’t know this, but ET had alphabet decoder cards from AT&T, at the time they’re sponsor if you find one of those that’s a collectible
I didn't realize they still had one in Florida! That que was my favorite.
still one of the best ride queues in my opinion

I was wondering the same thing about a refurbishment, some parts are amazing and others are distracting (the RGB led rope)
For me ET wins 🥰 my first ride was in the front row with ET in his basket in front of me 🥰 such an amazing darkride. Hope they never get rid of it!
Wow there's lots of stuff going on on that ride. Looks pretty cool. Where is this taken
Universal Orlando. Its the only park that has the ride now.
If you told me this was in Japan, I would totally believe you! Some trippy stuff!
I love the ET ride, as pass holders we always ride it on every visit.
This E.T ride never gets old
Which ride is better? You're comparing apples to oranges. Both are great for different reasons.
If anything E.T. is more of a copy of Peter Pan.

RIP Woody Woodpecker’s KidZone 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭, I’m glad ET is still here!
ET MUST STAY AT UNIVERSAL!

I don't know why you have to put better than this or that when it's not even anywhere close to each other to compare.
To inspire comments like this! 😂
Clickbait
What you talking about Willis?
@quevicular Eeze heddy goo
@@gissneric WTF. That's my private lingo that you are using.
This is an amazing ride, I just wish Universal would give it a facelift with better animatronics.
WE'RE FLYING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great ride! Universal would be stupid to remove the last iteration of this classic attraction, but unfortunately they’re stupid.
Nice park very good
Since Disney is buying Simpsons Hollywood should have this ride in its place!
Is the title an FYA reference?
キレイな映像ですね
I wish this was still in California....
This is my favorite queue of any ride anywhere. I would just to just camp in it one night with that smell
昔は日本にもあったのにな〜
This ride makes no sense and I love it😂

Much better than PP
日本にも帰ってきてほしい
This or a Klondike bar
Better than Peter Pan? Not even a discussion.
I lothis ride so much

Coincidence cuz I have just watched a vid of E.T. Ride history yesterday 🥸
RUclips algorithm
It was better,and yet nobody asked.
Great video
It’s better. Better queue, didn’t go woke. Better detail. They also made it more immersive
The ride looks so nice😍😍👽.
