I'm experimenting with a bit of a new format. Doing shorter videos like this as a quick overview of popular, but more commonly discussed, topics in between my longer Baffling History videos on weirder topics with a Defunctland or Offhand Disney style format. My plan (fingers crossed) is to have a new video up on the channel every two weeks, alternating between Baffling History and History in Pi Minutes. Let me know what you think! And what other topics you'd like me to cover on either series!
Alien Encounter was originally going to be an arcade dark ride based on Ridley Scott's Alien movies. Then it became this terrifying show. After that it was Stitch's Great Escape, one of the worst things ever built in Walt Disney World. Now, Alien Encounter is a fan favorite cult classic. I hope you enjoy learning the best of the basics for the history of this very unique experience.
