Disney once had a ride so terrifying, it left guests shocked—and then it vanished. Extraterrestrial Alien Encounter was one of the most intense attractions to ever exist at Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom, operating from 1995 to 2003. This sci-fi horror experience took guests on a high-tech teleportation demo gone horribly wrong, trapping them in a pitch-black theater with an escaped alien.
In this quick and to-the-point breakdown, we revisit what made Alien Encounter so unique, from its cutting-edge special effects to its infamous scare factor—and why Disney ultimately replaced it with a much tamer alternative.
