When I went to Disney in the first grade my parents wouldn't let me ride stitch's great escape because they heard other little kids got super scared and they didn't want me to associate my favorite movie with that or not want to play or sleep with my stitch anymore. Honestly a good call on their parts because I was a scaredy cat back then (and I still am now, anxiety is a harsh mistress) anyway I still love Lilo and stitch and I still sleep with stitch all these years later, but seeing the picture of the disassembled stitch animatronic after the ride closed was sad. They could have repurposed him for a different ride he was still good
Honestly, they made a good call. I love stitch and rode this when i was like 14, not expecting it to be terrifying, the adult man next to me screamed so loud during certain parts that it made it worse for me and thats the only time i rode
When I was 6 my dad took me on Alien Encounter. It really did scar me so much so that when I looked up footage of it years later I could remember what exactly was gonna happen before it happened
I remember this I cried so hard. I had to sit away from my parents for some reason. I thought I was going to die. Edit: Lol sit in there when your 5 years old and not get scared. And the folks saying read the signs I just learned the ABCs at that age let alone read. I am in my 30s and still remember it. Not scared of stuff like that now.
I didnât think that people would get scarred or traumatized from the Stitch ride. Maybe itâs just me, but I really loved it and went on it several times by my own will đ never rly scared me too much!
Went to Disney when I was 5, only time Iâve been there. The only thing I remember from the whole trip is my parents making me go on the stitch ride because they thought it was gonna be kid friendly. All I remember is getting like sneezed by Erich or something and crying the whole time and freaking out.
I first went on alien encounter when I was ten. I loved it. I loved every moment of it. I wish it stayed it was such a different experience in comparison to everything else in Disney
I went on the alien ride when I went for Gradnight. I had two friends that were on acid and they did not tell me, so when the alien breathed on our necks they threw glow sticks at it and where freaked out for quite some time after...
đ€Ł I remember going on alien encounter at 6 years old! It was frightening and still remember it to this day. Although i didn't quite the context as I was crying because I thought the alien pee'd on me but my mum very kindly reminded me it was blood cos he had just killed the captain lol
@AliceinWonderlust đ yes, we laugh about it now, but to her defence, they had never experienced a ride like that and thought well it's disney. It can't be scary! They were so wrong!
Went to Disneyworld in the early 2000s with my mom, two friends, and the mom of one of those friends. My mom loves horror so she wanted to go on the alien ride. My two friends said they were brave and joined her. I was an honest coward and said, "Nope!" and waited outside with the other adult. I could hear the screams from outside the ride. Afterwards one of my friends admitted it was a mistake to go one the ride. My other friend still tried to be tough, but it was obvious they were pretty shaken up. We were all under 10 years old at the time.
I went on Alien Encounter when I was 5, was waaay too small for that ride and came out of it crying. I still remember the Alien hissing and feeling the terror of the Alien being very close and worried that it was going to eat me. But when I went back as a teen, I saw that it had changed to Stitch and was curious about it. I entered the ride and enjoyed the experience despite the initial anxiety! Sad to hear that it closed tho đą
I remember going on that stitch ride on a field trip in elementary. I thought it was super fun and was confused about why it wasn't there anymore when I went back years later, but now I know why.
For context about kids would get scared on the Stitch experience is that it was the same as the previous one with a different coat of paint. The Actually scary one, ExtraTerrorestrial. Instead of blood of a worker being splattered on guests, it was supposed to be spit. And instead of a giant hungry alien flying around, itâs just stitch running around still creeping up on people and scaring them. No wonder it STILL scared kids. Edit:Just found out That itâs gonna be reopening and I am really happy!!!!
I was one of the kids that ran way from the Stich ride and letâs just say that me and my brother were TERRIFIED. Also, the person in charge of the cookies experience would not listen to my momâs screams of, âHey! My kids got out of their seats and are running around!â He just smiled and waved at her. đ After that, we went on the Disney Cruse and one memory that is forever planted in my brain is when âStitchâ walked by and I climbed up my momâs leg, into her arms and started balling my eyes out! đąđ đ
My mom dragged me onto the alien ride as a kid, and I can tell you for sure, it traumatized me. To the point that when it became Stitch I literally froze and went into a ptsd panic attack. I can see why it shut down.
Yall that alien attraction was something else pitch black and the seats blew out how air like the thing was behind you ...I was so scared I was 7 I think đ
I remember the alien version. I clawed my poor aunts arm because I was so scared. And she couldnât get me to stop screaming. Iâm still traumatized till this day
@@pepesilvia429 U cant get rid of trauma that easily, but you can't trust some people on the internet talking about trauma bc you can never know if its real or fake
Stitchâs great escape made so many childhood memories for me. I was about 7 years old when I went on the ride and I genuinely believed stitch was real and afterwards I wandered w/ my family looking for him after his escape! My parents played into the joke and even would leave tuffs of blue fur from my stitch plush around saying it was from stitch lol
My family did the Extraterrestrial Alien Encounter as our very first attraction back in 2000. It was really scary for me (summer between 3rd and 4th grade) and made me a bit wary about the next few things. I think my dad made it worse by teasing me about it for the rest of the trip.
I remember going on ExtraTerrorestrial as a kid and LOVED it! I was into horror even at a young age and loved being scared, so it was so much fun for me! Anyone remember the blood of the maintenance worker being splattered down from the ceiling? Great times!
I went on Alien Encounter in 1998 when I was 17 - it was one of my favourite experiences at Disney! It was very scary. I was looking forward to it again later this year, to find out it closed 20 years ago. I wish they could have just designated it for ages 13+, instead of closing it. I agree it was way too frightening for little kids because it felt so real.
I don't think it was "equally traumatizing", but I was scared for days after I went on the Stitch ride when I was 5-6. I feel like the ride was originally designed to scare you and even changing the theme couldn't change that. That said, if it had been the real ExtraTERRORestrial I would have đ
Iâm so sad about stitchâs great escape. I went to Disney a few years ago and thatâs the ride I have the best memories with, mostly because Lilo and Stitch was always my favorite movie
Closing a ride for being too scary is such a dumb reason, but then again i'd imagine a large chunk of their visitors are kids so they need to cater to them
I assume parents treated it like the Haunted Mansion, not really expecting it to be so scary, and the ride definitely stood out unnaturally like a sore thumb. I'd expect smn like that at Universal. It's kind of like a bar inside a McDonald's play place, why would smn obviously for adults be in a place specifically designed for kids. Especially when that ride was the only one like that in the entire park. Sure the park is designed for families, but that begs the question -- why tf wouldn't you go on it WITH your family? If anything the ride should have had an age cap of like 9-10, like Legoland has driving school (6-13) and junior driving school (5 and under).
I was traumatized by the Extraterrestrial ride. I remember someone was in the seat two down from me and during the lights flashing and the screeching they vanished. I was 7 and I never went on that ride again.
The worst is the âItâs tough to be a bugâattraction in Animal Kingdom. We went 16 years ago and my brother ran out screaming. Heâs 23 and still refuses to go in đ
THE BURP OMG. lmaoooo i feel like that was literally the deciding factor/make or break for people. itâs been compared to chili dog & thatâs the closest fit imođ (tbh if you werenât traumatized by it, youâre lying hehe)
I remember going there before they changed it to stitch. I remember the alien was scary as a kid. One of the lines was of that ride "whatever you do, don't scream!"
I remember going on the extra terrorestrial with my little sister and it was her first time. While the monster was breathing on us I grabbed her leg to surprise her. She got so freaked out she peed herself. Afterwards she claimed something grabbed her while my parents bought her some fresh pants. I still chuckle about it as it was one of my best pranks ever.
Went on a choir trip to Disney and was lucky to ride stitch before its closure. Was not fond of the chili dog smell, but it brought back memories of my first time riding when I was a 6 year old.
that stitch ride fr scarred 5 year old me, i literally hated everyone who liked stitch for years after that bc i thought he was manipulating people into liking him
I remember the stitch ride! I was about 5 and it was terrifying to me! I start crying so hard in the beginning of the ride intro thing! A cast member let us go out the employee way because it was before we were actually moving or something.
Fun fact: When I went to Walt Disney World back in early June, I had gotten an in show exit on the people mover and the exit that I went through lead from just a back room area to the exit from Stitches great escape still there and in almost normal condition
I was just reminiscing about Alien Encounter the other day. It terrified me as a kid but I loved it and miss it dearly. Even the Stitch version was fun. but now they have a GOLDEN opportunity to bring it back or something like it now that the Xenomorph is an official Disney Princess (or Queen).
Oh god I went on the Alien encounter when I was maybe like 6 or 7 not knowing anything about it, I left bawling. I went back and went through it after it was turned to the stitch ride and Iâm pretty sure there are permanent nail marks on one of the chairs from how tight I was clenching my seat. The traumatic flashbacks were real.
I remember being a little kid and crying my eyes out on that (I was already scared of the dark and the thought of literally any alien that was "hunting" me down IN the dark was so terrifying, kinda glad both versions closed, but as im going to disney again this year I wouldve liked to try it again and see what its like now that im older)
No because I literally remember being there for the stitch one and bawling my eyes out. I was terrified and my parents had to carry me out đđ lowkey traumatized
ExtraTERRORestrial Encounter was awesome. I rode it as a kid, about a month after it opened in 95. I remember seeing the preview of it on the vacation planning VHS you used to be able to order from Disney. It was well advertised as being scary, and it was the best part of my day at the magic kingdom. I don't remember if they demolished or replaced the ride after stitch closed, but they should bring it back. Even if it only comes back as part of the mickey halloween party. More people need a chance to experience that masterpiece.
I remember me and my mom going to the Stitch show. I remember being absolutely terrified when the lights shut off and thinking Stitch was going to eat me when I felt the water spray on me that was supposed to be his slobber.
I find it kinda interesting that the stitch ride closed like 2 days after I went on it with my family and i remember my family being like âThank god that ride closed,it was terrible.â
I remember the alien encounter ride as a kid. Freaked me out. You could hear it and feel it right next to you. For some reason, I even remember getting touched by something.
I remember going to stitches great escape as a 5 year old. I can attest that being SPAT ON by stitch was very traumatic and I've grown up with a hatred towards stitch that I don't think I'll ever be able to get rid of XD
SAME but i was 17!!! i had no idea what the ride was⊠i thought it it was something like pooh or peter pan. cut to me being spit on by an alien đđđđ
Okay, but when I was little I loved the alien ride and Stitch ride. It was thrilling to me but there was no warning on how intense it really is. They do need to add a Lilo and Stitch themed ride eventually though
I went on this ride when I was seven and since then he has been nicknamed âspittyâ. 7 year old me did not appreciate being spit on by stitch. Many many years later and he has still not lived down that nickname, Iâm convinced he will never live it down.
I remember the newer Stitch ride, when I was in kindergarten I went on it and I remember that I couldnât breathe from all the stuff in the air. It smelled like pancake syrup. It was an odd experience and I have mixed emotions about it đ
Being a Disney worker, the old ride when an alien chased you in the pitch black darkness the reason we shut it down wasnât actually because childrenâs parents were complaining the reason was that we actually did have an animatronic to make it a bit more scary and one day that animatronic got thrown off of the track. It went to the very bottom got stuck in the mechanism and was then deemed a health hazard. We replaced the alien with stitch because not only is stitch more family friendly to the younger audience but a stitch animatronic hasnât ever caused a health hazard

Man reading all the comments abt how scary the Stitch ride was makes me want to ride it even more đ
I remember me and my mom going to the Stitch show. I remember being absolutely terrified when the lights shut off and thinking Stitch was going to eat me when I felt the water spray on me that was supposed to be his slobber.
that stitch thing made me cry so we left when the lights were off
the sky buckets are my main memory from a disneyland trip when I was 5. i thought I was making it up or not rememering it correctly.
I find it kinda interesting that the stitch ride closed like 2 days after I went on it with my family and i remember my family being like âThank god that ride closed,it was terrible.â
Yes the Stich tide scared me, in traumatized
I remember the alien encounter ride as a kid. Freaked me out. You could hear it and feel it right next to you. For some reason, I even remember getting touched by something.
I like Stitch Great Escape. I liked the water the sprayed and the seats poked you. LOL
I remember being so traumatized after getting on that stitch ride
I remember the first one from a few years ago, and my brother got so terrified when he burped at us
Stitches great escape TRAUMATIZED me as a child it was terrifying
I remember the Stitch version, it was terrifying but fun.
I remember going to stitches great escape as a 5 year old. I can attest that being SPAT ON by stitch was very traumatic and I've grown up with a hatred towards stitch that I don't think I'll ever be able to get rid of XD
SAME but i was 17!!! i had no idea what the ride was⊠i thought it it was something like pooh or peter pan. cut to me being spit on by an alien đđđđ
I did the Stitch Escape thing was shockingly intense! I did it in my 30s and couldn't believe Disney had something that legit scary đ
Okay, but when I was little I loved the alien ride and Stitch ride. It was thrilling to me but there was no warning on how intense it really is. They do need to add a Lilo and Stitch themed ride eventually though
The stitch ride was great, I was traumatized as goo from stitch landed on my lips, but it was fun either way đ
Stitches Great Escape was SO intense to me and my friends as 10-year-olds!
I miss Alien Encounter!
I went on this ride when I was seven and since then he has been nicknamed âspittyâ. 7 year old me did not appreciate being spit on by stitch. Many many years later and he has still not lived down that nickname, Iâm convinced he will never live it down.
ExtraTerrestrial was one of my favorites!!!! While yes it was scary it was such a fun experience I was sad when I returned and they had removed it.
I remember the newer Stitch ride, when I was in kindergarten I went on it and I remember that I couldnât breathe from all the stuff in the air. It smelled like pancake syrup. It was an odd experience and I have mixed emotions about it đ
I remember when I went into the stitch ride when I was a bit younger it was terrifying Iâm glad it closed down
I loved alien encounter. I loved hearing them scream
Iâm glad it closed. It scared me when stitch started crawling on us. I never went back.
Being a Disney worker, the old ride when an alien chased you in the pitch black darkness the reason we shut it down wasnât actually because childrenâs parents were complaining the reason was that we actually did have an animatronic to make it a bit more scary and one day that animatronic got thrown off of the track. It went to the very bottom got stuck in the mechanism and was then deemed a health hazard. We replaced the alien with stitch because not only is stitch more family friendly to the younger audience but a stitch animatronic hasnât ever caused a health hazard
