After years of declining popularity and increasing complaints from park guests about its frightening nature, Disney announced on September 21, 2003 that an attraction themed to Disney's 2002 film Lilo & Stitch would be replacing it.[3] On October 12, Extraterrorestrial Alien Encounter was closed to the public to start production on Stitch's Great Escape!.
