E.T. Adventure General Discussion

[tankart150]

I heard a rumor today that Sonic might replace E.T.

A well-themed Sonic the Hedgehog launch coaster with scenes should go into Epic Universe though And, I heard Nintendo has a pretty good relationship with Sega, so, Nintendo probably wouldn’t mind, as long as one of their properties also gets a similar ride perhaps. I was thinking F-Zero or one themed to a Pokémon. I don’t know of any Pokémon with super speed though.

Guys, we're not getting a Sonic ride.

Ok be real did you actually hear something or are you fishing for a confirmation?

 

[SpyderDan]

Hey, Universal could just do a Smash Brothers ride and Sonic can cameo as one of the many fighters lol

 

[jrn14]

I think they would be more likely to add a Sonic restaurant

It was from someone that I trust. But neither of us believe it. I decided to post about it because I figured it would strike up a fun conversation.

Okay this is slightly unrelated to E.T. potentially going away, but someone posted a couple weeks ago about noticing different music on the Green Planet back when the ride first opened and it made me think of something.

Does anyone else know about the original Magdoll? A while back I decided to watch through some old E.T. ridethroughs and I found out that the annoying Magdoll we all hate was not the original. At around 6:10 in the video below E.T. says, "Magdoll, sing" and you hear her sing in a beautiful voice about E.T. helping them. That POV was from 1991, and I remember finding one from '92 or '93 where the voice was changed to the current version.

I have no idea why they decided to change the voice, but I just find that super interesting haha

I just noticed this today, but if you look at the city , there’s a burning building!

Just watched a low light video and I think I spotted it. Is it the circled part?

It sure is! And there are even police and fire trucks at the ground level.

I've been on the ride many, many times, but never noticed that!

Thank you for pointing it out! Can't wait to look for it the next time we go

Every year I see that "for the first time"! I'm glad I forget because it allows me to discover it annually.

Rode today, one of the drummer baby ET’s had its arm broken like this...

Low key want to cry a little.

I've always enjoyed using the name "Wakabayashi" but after seeing this I kinda wanna try "Ha" now.

I know this is a thread bump, but I thought I’d put this here. Johnny awesome, aka John Porto, passed away a couple months ago. As you may know, he was the guy who broke the record for riding the E.T. Adventure 56 times. I noticed he was inactive on his social media platforms, including Instagram, and I already knew he had a preexisting condition, as he made a video about it on his YouTube channel. He fought hard, and eventually lost the battle. He will be missed. His love for E.T. will be remembered. Rest In Peace.

Here is a video I found on his passing

That video was hard to watch. . . and not due to the death of the guy.
