There were several of these Iwerks (name is worth noting for film hysterians) rides, and in Australia they were built as add on to Hoyts multiplex theatres in a few locations. Their interest lasted a couple of years here. The ALIENS was among the best (as in the live action footage matched the lurching seats and the audience identification factor was very strong then) and certainly is the most interesting poster of the bunch. Due to their limited location use, print runs on the posters were relatively small. They are noteworthy as poster designs, for a now discontinued theme park-style ride designed for the suburbs, and their relative scarcity. Phil

It was a ride at Fisherman's Wharf (San Francisco, California). It was at the TurboRide Simulation Theatre and it was called Aliens: Ride at the Speed of Fright. These theatres are popping up in a lot of the "touristy" areas around the country, but this was the first one with an Aliens theme. The premise was that you are accompanying the lone survivor of a mission that encountered Aliens back to the site of their discovery. The seats move on hydraulic lifts to match the video and it gets pretty nauseating from time to time. You fly in a dropship to the surface and then take an APC into the complex. It features a lot of footage from Aliens. Absolutely guaranteed original rolled in near mint condition one sheet size 27x40 inch poster. $200 + $15 shipping worldwide.
