It was called Alien Encounter. :-(

Mind you, I was one of those kids that covered his eyes during the whole show...but we didn't complain.
Originally Posted By brotherdave Alien Encounter was a great, but scary attraction. It's too bad that they built it in the "wrong park", else it would be here still today. It should have been built for the Studios instead (but we know why it was put into the MK - to reuse the "moon theatres" from Mission to Mars). My idea is to have a complete ride through attraction based on the movie "Aliens", using similar technology used for Indy/Dinosaur. Now THAT would be seriously scary!!! Sadly, Disney would never build it. IMHO, Alien just doesn't seem to fit in the GMR since most everything else is more geared towards families. Alien is perhaps the scariest creature ever created for the cinema. Sadly, they use it as the punchline for some lame jokes by the "gangster/bank robber" who "hijacks" the vehicle. Still, it gets a bit too scary for the kiddies. That's why I feel Alien needs its own scary dark ride attraction for the older crowd. This would be PERFECT for Universal if they ever owned the rights...alas, we'll get the watered down Alien in the GMR and nothing more.

You got to give the guy credit that he can still compete on that level.
