Men In Black - Alien Attack
Men in Black: Alien Attack, a popular ride at Universal Studios Florida, is inspired by the Men in Black movie. The building is designed to mimic a pavilion at the fictional 1964 New York World Expo, whereas the towers are made to resemble their real-life counterparts. Rip Torn introduces the ride to the guests, repeating his role from the movie as Zed. Before boarding the ride, the guests are required to wait outside a fictitious World's Fair building, which exhibits several posters advertising microphones giving "updates" on the fair and extra-terrestrial activity.
As the guests enter the building, they can view a wonderful recreation of the World’s Fair exhibit, ‘The Universe and You’. As soon as the exhibit starts narrating, it is disrupted and a brief ersatz elevator ride takes the guests to the MIB headquarters. However, this entire pre-show is not featured during the off-peak seasons. After the short but exciting elevator ride, guests queue through a replica of MIB headquarters from the film. This recreation features the main hall room, a kitchen with worm aliens inside it, storage closets, and a weapon room.
The guests are then invited to board the ride vehicles. Laser guns, set on a low level, are given to the riders, who are then sent into a training simulation. After the training shoot, the riders are immediately launched into an action-packed ride and their guns are set in full power. They are asked to make an effort to score as many points as they can by shooting the aliens in the susceptible areas. The score can be increased by shooting a light on top of the other cart.
Towards the end of the ride, a gigantic alien, immune to laser fire, appears before the riders and Zed directs everyone to press the red button instantly. Those who manage to do so in the given frame of time are granted a 100 thousand bonus points! Finally, Agent J comments on the scores and the riders then are taken back to the "World Expo" section of the facility, where a huge sign informs riders, “We are alone in the universe after all”!
