E.T. Adventure recreates the flying-bicycle chase scene from the 1982 film E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, while introducing E.T.'s homeworld, the Green Planet, featured in the sequel novel E.T.: The Book of the Green Planet. Many of the ride's animatronics and exotic plants were designed and manufactured by Sally Corporation.
