First, we Help to Save E.T.’s Planet
(Video by TheCoasterViews)
The
E.T. Adventure is a very easy, albeit a bit cheesy, ride. My husband
and I enjoyed it though. Actually, since it was a very hot day (it
can get very hot and humid in Orlando) it was a refreshing
diversion. The ride begins as soon as you queue. A video
creates a back-story informing the riders that E.T. needs our help to save
E.T.’s planet. I recommend this ride for anyone who has seen the
movie, who appreciates cutesy rides, and those with children.
Lots to do for the Kiddies!

There’s
many more attractions for children such as Woody Woodpecker’s Kidzone (loved
the ride), Fievel’s Playland, and more. Moreover, there is part of
this section devoted to the “Simpson’s” which is centered on “Fast Food
Boulevard”. You will also find the car from Back to the Future and
carnival-style games—games of skill.

Speaking of the Simpsons...
The
Simpsons Ride begins as we queue with videos
and signs depicting characters and references from the series. One
of the signs includes such things as “Poochie’s Toddler Kennel”. The
theme of the ride (most of the rides include a background story) is that there
is a serial killer on the loose. For the most part, we watch a large
screen as the Simpsons avoid being killed while riding the ride. We
experience the feel of their ride as our seats move.
Lions, Tigers and... Nope, More like Cats, Dogs, Birds and Orangutans
For
those of us who love animals, Animal Actors On Location! is a must-see
show. It is a mixture of live-action and video. Be
forewarned though, you will have birds flying over your head. I
loved it!

Welcome to the World Expo and Evil Aliens
This
ride also begins as we queued. A MIB agent began our tour of MIB
headquarters as we are now considered as possible agents—the best of the
best. The break room was very convincing, as it included the worm
aliens. Onward we see control, lockers and weapons
rooms. There’s also a short, humorous “educational” video of Doofus
& Do-Right instructing trainees how to “patrol the MIB beat” (aka ride
rules).
At
the end of the tour, we get into our cart and ride off with our “guns” to
eliminate those nasties who have would do harm to our world—and
others. It’s all great fun, but the ride does twirl a few
times.
Tip: Read
your map carefully! There are “Character Zones” spread out over the
parks. The map gives you all the information you need to meet
characters like the Transformers, Shrek and Donkey, Hollywood icons and
more.
Enjoy
your visit. We sure did!
