Those black tarps have been up for a while now. They were up when I visited on Jan 21, 2022. Glad to hear they are doing some refurbishments on this absolute classic. This ride is a most done for my kids each time we’re in Orlando.
They are fixing the ceiling that why the tarps are up. I was sat in child swap the other day a worker came in and asked about the tarp and a crew member said their fixing the ceiling so nothing to panic about!
I’m mourning the loss of Back to the Future way more than I would ever mourn the loss of ET. How I wish Back to the Future had Spielberg type protection! I would still be enjoying it, instead of that lame Simpsons ride!
They should never get rid of E.T. cause it’s a classic but dear God update it. I don’t care if the scenes never change but my lord, if there are talking characters as a part of the story, their lips should move. The mechanics of the ride, and it’s resident characters, need a facelift badly.
Comments for Iconic Universal Attraction Now Under Refurbishment Amid Worries of Permanent Closure

I love the ET ride!!! The fact that it’s one of only two original attractions is another reason to keep it going.

Still makes me nervous. Spielberg didn’t prevent Hollywood from replacing it with the Mummy ride. #justsaying
I still lament the loss of Backdraft, Lucille Ball museum, and BTTF (replaced by that lame Simpsons reskin)

The day Universal closes E.T. Is the day I stop going to Universal for good. I love E.T. for many reasons and one is because its a gentle ride.
