The attraction is fully accessible for wheelchair assisted guests.

Animal Actors Stage:

Some of the popular features stars in the show include Babe, Mr. Ed, Benji, Lassie and Beethoven.
Other stars of the show have performed in Ace Ventura, and The Flintstones.

Eighty animated figures, 558 tree bushes and 306 plants inhabit the Green Planet.
There are 4,400 illuminated stars in the sky, 3,340 miniature city buildings, 250 cars on the street, and 140 street lights in the vast city beneath guests as they take flight.
Steven Spielberg, Academy Award-winning producer/director and creative consultant to Universal Studios Orlando, created a host of new characters for the ride.

E.T. Adventure marks the first time in history that a ride has been given its own original score. Academy Award-winning composer John Williams wrote music of soaring beauty to match the breathtaking excitement of the experience.
Six thousand gallons of paint were used to cover the floor at E.T. Adventure. The ride utilizes 284 miles of electrical wiring, 250 miles of fiber optics, 68 show control computers and 2,500 separate commands from those computers.

Fievel’s Playland:

Towering over the free-play area is a 200-foot water ride. Perched in uniquely designed "sardine cans built for two," kids and parents alike are swept through a sewer and whirled down through a maze of oversized pipes that ends with a giant splash in a strongbox below.
Young cowpokes crawl through a giant cowboy boot, jump into an enormous campfire skille, bounce under a 1,000-gallon cowboy hat, climb to the top and slide down the horn of a massive 19th century gramophone and make beautiful music sliding down another slide in the form of a Gulliver-sized harmonica.
A 15-foot high leaky canteen, the 30-foot Chula’s spider web, and the hulking skeleton of "Buffalo Bones" create a themed play area.
