Eerie Abandoned Disney Attractions You Never Knew Existed
ExtraTERRORestrial Alien Encounter
Once a popular attraction at the Magic Kingdom theme park in Walt Disney World Resort, ExtraTERRORestrial Alien Encounter has been forgotten over time and left abandoned. The ride was designed to be a darkly humorous science fiction experience but was criticized for failing to meet the spooky standard.
After retooling and spending an additional $10 million on improvements, guests then complained it was too scary for younger children. Eventually, Disney closed the attraction on October 12, 2003, to be replaced by a new “Lilo & Stitch” themed one called Stitch’s Great Escape! The latter operated until 2018, using the same technology and set pieces from its predecessor.
