E.T. Adventure (June 22, 1991 - March 14, 2003) at Universal Studios Hollywood.

"For many people, The E.T. Adventure had a very special place in their hearts. Kids (of all ages) loved the attraction. By the time it closed, it was getting more than a little creaky, and it was in need of an update, but it had a lot more than many other attractions – it had a heart, and it had a story.

The story was simple – get on a bike with E.T. in the basket, and help him get back to his home planet. Mirroring many of the iconic images from the movie, police officers with torches and lurching cars had to be avoided, along with mysterious space-suit clad figures. One of the highlights was the soaring flight above the city and across the moon. The ride went where the film didn’t go, though – due to an unexplained warp in space-time, the bike ended up actually landing on E.T.s planet, and seeing all his little friends, before dropping him off, then landing back on earth.

The “heart” was demonstrated by the simple device of every visitor telling their first name to a crew member as they entered the queue line. At the very end of the ride, an E.T. figure at the side of the ride vehicle said “goodbye” to every visitor, by name. Beautifully simple, but that personal touch made a massive difference. Of course, it also enabled teens to make E.T. say all sorts of unsavory things by combining names together to make naughty words.

All that’s now left of the E.T. Adventure at Universal Studios Hollywood is the old painted-out logo on the roof of the show building now playing host to The Revenge of the Mummy. The “E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial” logo was added to the roof as part of the 20th Anniversary celebration of the film in 2001. It was painted over in 2003 when the ride was removed.

The E.T. Adventure can still be experienced at Universal Orlando in Florida.

Ride Systems
Although it looks like a soundstage, the building in which E.T. was housed was built especially for the attraction. The area before was an unloading and waiting area for trams while visitors were in the Special Effects Stages, and a small prop warehouse.

The ride vehicles were 9-seater platforms which were suspended under a track which ran around the attraction. The platforms were modelled on bicycles, with an E.T. figure in the basket on the front bike. The E.T. figure reacted to the goings on throughout the ride – when he was scared he hid, and at the end of the ride, when E.T. had returned to his home planet, the E.T. figure was not visible in the basket anymore.

Many of the animatronic figures in the preshow area and in the attraction were built by Sally Corp in Florida." ~ http://www.thestudiotour.com/wp/studi...
