The attraction was a darkly humorous science-fiction experience that used binaural sound to achieve many of its effects. It opened briefly for previews on December 16, 1994, replacing the former Mission to Mars attraction, but was ordered closed on January 12, 1995 for retooling by then-Disney CEO Michael D. Eisner, who believed the attraction wasn't \"scary enough\". It officially opened on June 20, 1995 as part of Magic Kingdom's New Tomorrowland. The attraction closed permanently on October 12, 2003 and was replaced by Stitch's Great Escape!, an attraction which uses much of the same technology and set pieces (due to complaints from parents that it was too scary for children). Stitch's Great Escape! is also based on the 2002 Disney animated film Lilo & Stitch. While ExtraTERRORestrial Alien Encounter was short-lived, it developed a cult following among Disney fans. Some fans even praised it for its sophisticated tone, in contrast to the other Tomorrowland attractions such as Space Mountain and Astro Orbiter."@en .
