We covered this on the podcast recently. Nothing official, but the word on the street is it will be replaced by something from Nintendo.

I love ET and growing up this was one of my favourite rides but I do think it is time for it to go now. And I say that with a heavy heart.

The ride is jerky and the animatronics are very dated now. And ET barely says your name a) right or b) on time. There will always be nods to its legacy, as there is to Back to the Future.

However, totally hypocritical of me given my ET argument but I ABSOLUTELY ACHE FOR BACK TO THE FUTURE. Bring it back to replace The Simpsons any day. That was a fantastic ride.

I would be happy for ET to stay and just get an upgrade!

I don't mind... But only because we've got out "magic" photos on the bike and in the cupboard.

Doesn't Spielberg have the final say if they can close ET?

I agree with this! I hate The Simpsons ride, BTTF was so much better!

I love ET, surely just an up to date version of the ride is preferable to getting rid
