Readers' Opinions
It is a bit out dated but it is great to just sit and relax without being "frighten" by jaws or pointing guns at aliens. I wish I could just take a nap with E.T.'s friends and family...so peaceful. - Michelle Gonzalez Great ride on a hot day! Dark setting, relaxing tempo...a great way to re-live the ET phenomenon of the early 1980s. - Christian Baggett Can't help but think the ride is dull and rather dated. The younger children now have no idea who ET is either! - Mark Moore What a cool ride for kids. Put your little ones on first (left side) so they can see the city from above when you pass over. We always give fake names at the queue so we can hear ET butcher them at the end. The smell in there is very musty like a forest and the queue them once inside is amazing. Express Pass wait is always less than five minutes. 8/10 - Noel Blackman Another Universal classic. E.T. is a great family ride and one of the better dark rides anywhere. The waiting area in the forest is awesome. It is a nice atmosphere and it even smell like pine trees. The ride itself consist of riding through the forest with the cops following you and then the bikes start to fly over the city and to E.T.'s home planet. Similar to Peter Pan at MK, this one is bigger and way better. E.T. saying your name in the end is also neat. I really miss E.T. in Hollywood were they replaced him with RotM. Hopefully this version of E.T. will never get replaced. Lines for E.T. range from the 25-45 minute range in the day but are usually much shorter at night or early in the day. - Manny Barron I like that your on bicycles riding through this attraction. The scenery is very pretty, but its not the most exciting ride. If you have kids I think they would enjoy it very much and its a nice way to get a much needed rest and cool off. Wait until the que is short and it will be worth it. - Melissa Faulkner Essential to that portion of the park. It got a much needed update back in 2002 (at least with the pre-show). It is a ride I feel Universal should always keep considering Hollywood removed it for their version of the Mummy fiasco. NOT worth more than a 30 minute wait, however. If you see a 30 minute wait, go somewhere else and return at a later time. - Wilfredo Alvelo Enjoyable classic at USF. The theming is excellent for a dated attraction. - Carl Stovall It was a very nice re-visit. - Nick Dakuginow I would have loved this about 20 years ago when the film was out and I was about Elliots age but it seems a bit dated now. I don't know what all the little ET's at the end had to do with the film either. Would he be called ET on his home planet? - Ian Kenny
