Ron, Jim, Thanks! Here are the details...

I've had this amusement ride pass for quite some time, since the E.T. Adventure ride opened at Universal Studios, "Hollywood" California. While actually located in the postal zone of Universal City, Los Angeles, CA (in the San Fernando Valley) the E. T. Adventure was a very docile, multi-person ride through a forest scenery that had the ride participants (all sitting in an multi-passenger cycle) trying to escape the Federal Agents trying to capture the E. T. in the basket at the front of each vehicle.

Much like what Ron presented, the earlier version did not record your voice. Instead, particpants were asked by a ride attendant what their name was. You name was typed into a computer and pass was dispensed to the person. At the time you steppped onto the ride, your pass was collected, alonmg with the other riders, and fed into a machine that mached barcodes to typed names. A feature of the ride was at the conclusion it passed by a E.T. figure that says Good Bye to everyone, and speaks your name with E.T.'s accent. If your name was Elliot (or you said it was Elliot) the E.T. voice was that very pronounced, and drawnout, "Ellllllleot".

I have a couple of these cards, not in the greatest of condition, if anyone is interested.

Jim
