Once you enter the theater you are greeted by Steven
Spielberg who informs you ET has crash landed on
Earth 10,000 light years from home and he needs
your to help him get home. Steven Spielberg informs
you that ET's home planet "The Green Planet"
is dying and only ET's magical healing touch can
save his planet and it's up to you to help him get
home. Before you enter the queue you must tell your
name to the employee so they can scan it (That is
how ET says your name at the end of the ride.) Once
you have your card you then enter the lush forest
where you'll see NASA scientists looking for
ET
If you are lucky enough you may see ET
running through the woods passed the NASA
scientists.
Once in a blue moon guests in the queue will get
to meet
EAT.'s teacher Botanticus who appears in the woods
and asks the people of Earth to bring ET home so
that he may heal his people and save the Green Planet.
The forest trail then leads to the loading station
where you'll get on your bike along with ET. Once
you and ET are secure your bike head into the woods
where you'll
have to evade NASA scientists, Cops and FBI
Agents who all want to capture ET. There are ambushes
set up throughout the
ET
and just when you think your safe you come to another
ambush as ET flies you over the ambush and high
above the city. Then it's off to "The Green
Planet" where you'll meet up with
ET's
friends and family on his home world. ET saves his
planet and says good-bye to each one of you individually
before he sends you home.
