* BroadStrokes: This ride borrows only two elements from the novel ''Literature/ETTheBookOfTheGreenPlanet'' -- the planet being named the Green Planet and E.T.'s mentor named Botanicus. In this ride, Botanicus doesn't wear a leaf as clothing like in the novel, and other characters from the novel like E.T.'s pet Flopglopple, his [[TrulySingleParent Parent]], Micron, and the space pirates he tries to hire to steal a ship, aren't mentioned in the ride.



* HumansByAnyOtherName: Bontanicus exclusively refers to the guests as "earth people".

From there, guests find themselves in the middle of the forest as seen in the film; where at times E.T.'s mentor, Botanicus, will send down a message warning of the planet's destruction and desperately asking for E.T. to return. Guests then board the "bicycles" to embark on the journey to Green Planet, where they are at first faced against the police and [=NASA=], who are once again out to capture E.T. for research. This leads to E.T., as in the film, making the bicycles "fly" in order to evade the authorities. After soaring high above the city, the guests are then taken into hyperspace towards the Green Planet.

* ConvenientlyClosePlanet: It apparently only takes three or-so seconds of lightspeed to reach the Green Planet. Of course, the fact that it takes ''that'' long means you're not really at lightspeed; to a hypothetical particle traveling at the speed of light, it takes exactly zero time to go any distance, no matter how long.

Added DiffLines:

* AddressingThePlayer: Just before you enter the forest queue line, ride attendants ask for your name and give you a card to hand the person operating the vehicles. This allows for E.T. to say your name at the end of the ride, provided you don't have an overly complex name.
