Spinlock: Listen to me, please! Don't scream! If you're perectly quiet, it won't probably not eat you. Audience keeps screaming. Spinlock: No! I told you to be QUIET!!! Audience still screams.
One of the best videos of the Alien Encounter main show I've ever seen! The clarity of seeing the alien's movement and the side screens is incredible, especially for early to mid-90s camera technology. We're lucky you were that "little punk" and recorded this piece of history.
I remember being 8 years old at the time and my dad brought me on this. I was one of the lucky few to have experienced this not knowing what I was getting myself into.
I remember going on this ride around 1996 or 1997 and like you didn't know what I was getting myself into. However , I wansr as young as you and probably would have been absolutely terrified.
Dude SAAAAME. I was terrified of aliens so naturally he absolutely HAD to take me on this ride. When they sprayed the water on your neck.....instant tears!
This was a good crowd. I mustve gone on this 50 times between 1995 and 1999. Maybe more. It scared me poopless the first time I rode it. After that, I would scream along sometimes but mostly I’d just enjoy everyone else’s reactions. I LOVED this and the more I watch videos of it the more I miss it. This was PEAK Disney to me.

My hairstylist went to Alien Encounter and said it was terrifying as hell. I don't know why there was a 3-year-old kid on the ride. That kid must've been scared straight. This is definitely a ride you don't take your kids and elderly parents or grandparents on. This show literally gave kids (and parents) nightmares. It's a good thing Disney shut the ride down.
Yo I had a unrealistic fear of aliens growing up. My dad took me on this attraction because you know it was funny and all.....I screamed and cried like a little girl. I think this is actual footage of me on this ride 😅 wow....lmao

This is awesome! Thank you - just made my day. I was one of the cast members that was invited on this attraction when they were testing it before opening. Did Tower of Terror, too. Both were way Way WAY! more intense than what they opened to the public with. This ride in particular was absolutely terrifying during testing. It was like being transported with the 4D effects into the movie Aliens. I remember there being a fake guest that gets eaten and the blood(water effects) that dripped and sprayed all over you in complete darkness was unreal. It was an awesome ride even with the intensity that was lowered for opening - but from those screams you can hear how realistic they got all of those 4d effects even after making it a milder attraction. I can still feel the ailien breathing his warm hot breath on my neck before doing something crazy in that attraction. From it's origins of flying us into space to that....awesome. The adaption later to Stitch didn't quite work but was still fun.
@@johndean4727 There was an initial run of the show for a month or two in previews. It wasn't as scary and the preshow was Tim Curry's voice instead of S.I.R. Michael Eisner saw it, they closed it, and they redid it more scary for the teens. Now those teens are like, 40. LOL.
I was so pixy dusted I don’t recall. What I can say is that even though As an adult I try to regret nothing…I do wish I would have made space for the lithographs they offered us of Tower of Terror and stock shares. Not sure if they did this for Alien Encounter. But it absolutely was Awesome Caos before it opened to the public.

No drops or movement if any kind. Basically the shoulder harnesses and theater had effects simulating that the creature was going around the room and right behind you. Warm moistened air made it seem like it was breathing down your neck, water from above was blood from the attacked worker, etc
