Daily Dark Ride

E.T. Adventure

The classic movie has been beautifully translated into a living reality at Universal Studios Florida in Orlando, Florida.  Join ET and his friends as you take a flying bicycle ride into the worlds beyond on this one of a kind dark ride.   Filled with some great effects, this action packed adventure is still very popular with guests and with good reason.

When it opened in 1990, it was one of a kind, and today it still is.  Riders board bicycles and pull down lap bars creating a safe but thematically correct vehicle.  From here they begin their bike ride through the story of E.T. Guests pass everything from oncoming trucks, FBI Officials and more.

Luckily, ET helps you go soaring into the night sky.  This moment is just as magical as the movie itself.  The sensation of riding your own bicycle with a famous alien and flying all at the same time is a miraculous effect that creates millions of memories each and every year.

Sadly, ET Adventure was removed from Universal Studios Hollywood in 2003, and recently closed at Universal Studios Japan this past May.  At Hollywood it was replaced by Revenge of the Mummy but many say that this classic deserves to still maintain that spot.  Have you been fortunate enough to ride this Daily Dark Ride?  Leave your comments and Park Thoughts below.
