V.I.P.
Wasn't there talk of the fog seeping into the entire building and after years of moisture build-up legitimately causing issues with the structure? Or am I making that up?
I found the effect to be ridiculously loud for a children's attraction

To be fair, the scene it’s in is pretty gloomy and dark, and is followed up by joyous celebration.
I always enjoyed as a kid how E.T. Adventure wasn’t afraid to be a little scary. Mirrors the movie pretty well and doesn’t feel dumbed down for kids.

This. I find the ride much more enjoyable without it.

I love it, I’d love if the facade got a mini revamp once Kidzone opens again. ET next to Mummy is my favorite ride at USF.

This! The facade needs SOMETHING other than the current hideous marquee thingy. The entrance is also WAYYYYY too deep into the old Kidzone. There has got to be a way to shift the entrance a bit so it isn't sitting right in front / directly inside the new DreamWorks land.

Please don’t remove the last classic attraction entrance arch that remains in the park 
I know it sounds silly but the soundstage/hot set theme from the entrance to the pre show room is so nostalgic and charming to me.

There were plans to rearrange the entrance when Nintendo was the plan. It’s possible they revisit it after the KidZone redo.
As far as the fog effects, I remember that room getting very humid which could effect the aging track and AAs. It’s possible they decided to leave them off until it goes down for a refurb.

It was so great seeing this finally get updated twenty years later (besides just changing 20th to 30th 10 years ago of course.)
Close up of all posters:
Just in time for Illumination or Dreamworks to do an animated version of ET

Don’t you dare.
Ha, I actually think it could be good, but I doubt Spielberg would allow it

Live action directed and/or produced by Spielberg only, thanks!
After riding it the other day, I'm glad they're spending some time to give it TLC - but it needs some major love. Hoping that's planned after the 2024 KidZone redo.
As great as the little touches are, if you get a squealing ride vehicle with the squeaky track, it can screech you to death.
I kinda chalked it up as part of the ride's soundtrack, things are so bad these steam geysers are going off. I do hope something comes back.
That queue needs work more than anything, from the awkward HHN exit to the old drinking fountains. I'd rip it all out, widen the rails, add new drinking fountains/water bottle refills, and update the queue video.

That HHN exit has always seemed to bizarre. All those people walking four to six people wide coming to a sharp 90 degree turn single file.
