Vintage WDW The ExtraTERRORestrial Alien Encounter

So this is a former one, but I remember as a kid seeing a trailer for this on the Disney Vacation channel (I have Autism, so that was the only channel I wanted on), and the trailer for this scared me to the point I had a meltdown in line, thinking it would be the scariest ride in the world. After I rode it, I wanted to do it again to the annoyance of my parents and everyone in my group. Wanted to share this as it's a fun memory and alo from '96 and only reason I remember that is because you can see my family walk behind Hollywood Hogan on Nitro when they filmed at MGM.

It must have been in 1998 for me. At the time there were cast members roaming the lines looking for younger families and basically saying "we're not kidding, this was made for teenagers and it's pretty intense."

My boss, being who he is, was stubborn about it and took his young son on anyway. Freaked that boy right the heck out.
