Then SIR showed how the technology can indefinitely suspend subjects in teleportation.

Guests would sit in chairs with shoulder restraints (used during the attraction to imply that the alien was climbing over the audience, create intimate directional sounds of the alien breathing, and have the alien &#8220;taste&#8221; guests&#8217; hair).<\/span><\/p><p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">When the director of X-S tried to teleport into the theater, a slight error occurred, causing a horrific alien beast to arrive instead. The alien inevitably escaped, ran rampant through the theater, and guests barely made it out alive from their encounter. All the while darkly humorous dialogue from both the X-S staff and &#8220;other guests&#8221; were heard. Some memorable lines include, &#8220;Don&#8217;t eat me, eat that guy!&#8221; followed by a loud crunch. Or when the alien first appeared, &#8220;It&#8217;s ugly&#8221;, &#8220;It&#8217;s horrible&#8221;, &#8220;It&#8217;s my mother in law!&#8221;<\/span><\/p><p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">The experience was one of the most immersive and clever in Walt Disney World, but its cult following was not enough to keep Disney from closing the attraction due to its excessively scary nature.
