I went to Alien War back in1995, when it opened, when I got a voucher with the Alien 3 video. Can't believe it was that long ago! Apparently, there was a flood in 97-98 & it never re-opened. Shame.
I went to this when I was 12 and I loved it! I was a massive Alien fan anyway but this tipped me over the edge. It was just as terrifying and as exciting as the guy makes out. Its a real shame there isn't stuff like this about today and everything relys so much on virtual reality (it was a virtual reality ride which replaced this in London I think). Its just not the same. A unique experience I will never forget.
Thumbs up if you want to be one of the marines scaring the crap out of people saying stuff like, "We're not gonna make it!!" Oh, god. I would be trying hard not to laugh while shouting that at my guests, looking at their priceless expressions.
Until this day, i still swear that something grabbed my leg near the end when you're all sitting down inside the 'shuttle'. Also the guy that gets grabbed from the elevator. Nostalgia!
@BoneCrusher994 yep it happen in 1996 gutted.. I got on the bus to the west end to go on it again, all the way there and it closed for good gutted :-(
@BoneCrusher994 No it don't mate, It was damaged from flooding from a shop or company above and it.
It caused alot of damage and the owners couldn't afford to repair it , I was told by another attractions staff member which was operating next to alien wars... I was gutted I couldn't go on the tour again... It was excellent
I went to this as a kid In London's trocadero I was about 13 at the time, I am 27 now, Waiting for about 30 mins to get in and it was excellent felt so much like the movie... shame the business above it flooded and caused expensive damage the owners decided not to repair.. I was gutted I couldn't experience it again.. considering people was also taken by the aliens during the tour
Shazam herbal Incense, good shit. has natural herbs and comes with a decent amount. $10 a gram, bags could be better, gets you really high.
Also try Wicked X, OMG. 1 hit and you will be on your ass, real talk. Strongest herbal incense you can buy after the 2010 ban 5 synthetic THC's. $20 a gram, you can order online, and comes in liquid form!
I went to the first Alien war when it opened in glasgow (before the London one was opened) it was pretty good and scary but then again I was a kid when I went so maybe not so scary now idk lol.
I went on this and it did give a sense of realism like being in the movie ,I was in awe at the special effects also seeing the mother towering above you running down corridors with flashing lights and guns firing made it all very real the aliens that attacked you really give you a scare you don't expect what comes for you it was a great experience please bring it back to London ...
this was a sweet attraction i loved it when i was a kid! best part was being in the Car getting ready to go when an alien appears in the room, you could literally hear everyone filling their pants
this is sooo scarey i went to the london one when i was 14,it started in london bk in 1992,they had to close it down because to many people was having fits and getting way to scared inside they would freeze,i had to ask the marine can i leave plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz HAHAAHAHAAHAH
This is now in blackpool known as alien attack and will be opening first weekend in june or a bit later. It is round the corner from louis tussard's wax place. ITs all being set up at the moment
5:39, i started to almost believe it was really happening, that marine looked so intence and scared when he was screaming , shit looked crazy, like it was right of the film. that was acctaully some great acting, would love to went to this. they need one in every country and state.
I went when i was 16 which would have been 1991 and i remember it was awesome, i can still picture the alien in the elevator behind us as we had just got out of it, hahaha was so great, i'd love to go again.
I went when i was in London (first time it opened) 1993 (16 years old) I went twice i love the Alien films so much that after my first experince of Alien War I wanted to go back, stay there and get chaced by the aliens all day! HAHA.
It's been well over 11 years now and I want to go back. Maybe I should get a job as acting as the marine :D
has anyone been to both the under 18s nd the over cos im to young to get into the over 18s one but i really want to know whats the diffrence cos the unders is pretty scary
Not bigotry my man,not going to sit and read Shit like that and not tell him to fuck off,so while we re at it,you can Fuck off as well,and slashrave,no my life isnt influenced by America and neither is my country,you watch the news too much,we think you are pretty much all dumbed down Cunts,and at least i've actually been out of my own Country,bet you couldnt even point mine out on the map,Fuck you and die Prick!
English is a Latin language, not British. Americans have ancestry in every corner of the world, not "mostly" any place. We have Africans, Scottish, English, Dutch, Swedish, Germans, Australians, French, indian, American Indian, etc..
You're more influenced by us than you realise. You're on a computer, on the internet, probably enjoy a good microwaved snack every once in awhile, drive or ride in cars, trucks, and trains, watch TV. Enjoy the use of plastic bags for garbage and storing food, electricity...etc... Dont hate Americans so much, we've given a lot more in terms of invention than most of the rest of the world realises. Dont take that the wrong way either. Im not saying America is perfect, but we're not nothing either.
Besides which, the Alien franchise has been a mutually shared production between American studios,British craftsmanship and a diverse cast of actors. Why are we bickering about which nation is better when BOTH are excellent places most of the time?
I remember going through this when it originally opened in Glasgow. The best part was when the marine left everyone in a long corridor for a couple of minutes. Suddenly there was a banging from the far end and an alien appeared through the door. Everyone ran screaming to get away from the beast, only to reach a small exit at the far end, where only one person could get through at a time on their hands and knees! What a jam, with that thing lumbering towards you down the corridor! Fantastic!
Yea I went when I was 13 years old with my Stepdad he was sooooo scared i was cool i love Aliens and when you first see that Alien it all brings it home to you your there your feeling this panic and dread we had the bit with the lift and it snatched this fat indian kid now this brings back childhood memories thank you.....
Anyway, last comment for now. If it is as good as it was in London's trocadero when it first opened, before it was all ruined because of the health and safety shit and htme removing some parts of it like Sector 3 where they come in force then I would gladly go through it many times as I did when it was in london.
One last thing. I'm glad I went toilet for a number 2 before I left home because the lift bit would have made me shat it all out when it happened.
Oh yeah and I know this may sound stupid but I did make a complaint simply because when they first take you in The Marine says he'll be back in a sec. What happens though is that he kicks the metal door from the outside and it swings full force in to the wall. This is where my complaint was. The 3rd time I went through it there was this kid standing right where the door would smash agaisnt the wall when the marine kicked it. Thankfully for him though I told him to move from that spot.
I'm going to try and hunt down the pictures I took. i remember though that in the 3rd month I think it was open when I went there there was a full size (don't know if it was the one used in the film ALiens) ALien Queen Model. And I mean full size professional job. All the detail shown in the one in the film.
I think it was £12 for children and £16 for adults. Not sure on that though.
The lift bit after Sector 3 all of us were told to go in the lift so we could go and escape to from a different floor. The lift stopped though and then there was banging, like thudding, on the ceiling of the lift and the marine said that they were in the lift shaft. He started tapping away at the lift console and he asked one of the guys with us to grab the lift door and pull when he presses the release button. When the lift door opened an Alien burst in and grabbed the guy. hahaha.
I remember going to this in the 90's at Picadily Circus. They absolutely ruined though in then because of health and safety and some poeple going in to shock.
I remember it clearly. The bits that got me the most though which for about 10 seconds convinced me it was all real was the lift bit and when in the APV.
It's coming back to Scotland on December 6th @ the Arches. It's over 18 years ago from the original concept. Imagine how fucking good the effects will be in it now!
Update 3rd may 2006: The documentary will be finished at the end of May so stay tuned!
Update 30th January 2007: Alien War the attraction is coming back produced by the original creators John Gorman and Gary Gillies..."this time its...The World", UK, Europe, Japan and the USA.
This was the nuts, I was about 14 when I went in this and I shat myself lol , my brother and his friend took me there.. Funny thing was though when the lights went out and those strobes kicked in my brother was dust LOL , U felt this overwhelming surge of panic .. Fucking fantastic experience !!
I went to this a couple of times at the Trocadero in London back in the early 90's. We always used to go up town just to cause trouble, as you do when you are 13. As a dare instead of running away from the alien I would run straight at it and kick it. I'll tell you what, the 'Colonial Marines' were none too happy with me and gave me a right bollocking. Oh how I miss the care free days of misspent youth.
I miss this. Went a few times with my mates when it was open. The first time we went the marine actually used a blank-firing pistol, which was of course very loud. Afterwards replaced with the less-realistic sound effect system. Alien War was like a pilgrimmage to us Alien fans - great place.
Alien War, then on to the Trocadero's VR machines - how we were spoilt in the early '90s! :)
Man, Ive been in there! My dad sent me in a with a lovely english couple coz he wouldnt go in lol I had nightmares for years and always thought that alien eggs were growing in my loft! lol
Never would I imagine a marine who looked as much as axl rose as this one does :)
I had the luck of visiting London when the Trocadero Centre was hosting Alien War, and it was the best reality-like experience I have ever had. Relly hope they'll be back so I can repeat it!
lol I know I thought I recognised axl rose on in there somewhere. Went there myself and really want to experience it again, My brother started running before the aliens ever showed lol, the minute the marine was panicking and shooting he was dust hahha
Hey people! check out my video to see one of the Colonial Marines from London Alien War! an the actors in this video are weak but there were good marines! the one in my video was the most famous one there!
When I was in my teens in 1996 I visited London, England for a few days with my mother and a relative. I knew that AlienWar existed somewhere in or near Piccadilly and I was determined to experience it. Sadly, even though I found the location they were closed for renovations. I never got to fulfill that wish of mine.
I have never been to Alien War and i think its a fantastic idea, but the actors look really weak and I think that would spoil it.
It seems as if they just keep shouting "go go go" all the time and there is no real atmosphere or tension that made the original movie what it was. I.E The silence! (that was the most frightening part).
That guy with the hippie like hair, can anyone take him for a real marine?
I hope I am wrong about this but it looks a tad bit tacky, can anyone confirm this?
Trust me, you have to experience it before u can comment mann, I was there when I was open and the atmosphere closes in on u .. The actors only add to the dread, when your there ur not in the mindset of critisising there acting skills . . thats why I love B-movies. I think real people are b-movie actors.. Sorry for the rant dude. hope u get the chance to experience it and yes the tension and the silence is there !!
What annoys me is the guys that started it were Scottish and it first came to Glasgow at the Arches in 1993. I went to it then even though I was only 11. I was too scared to go in so was dead excited to see it was coming back but they have cancelled the original date in Glasgow of October 2008 now it's only London even though the guys started it in Glasgow... unfair!!!
To be fair though, it is gonna have much more success in London, it's got lots of passing tourist trade. I went in the original London one years ago and it was immense. I was such a big Alien geek back then. Luckily I moved to London last september so I'm in the perfect position to experience it the second time around!!
No, it closed in 1996 I think. Apparently there was a flood on the premises and it never reopened. I walked through that passage where it used to be just a few weeks ago. It was a very cool experience, and they're supposed to be opening a new one in april. Look up Alien War on Myspace. I've still got an alien war sweater I bought somewhere.
it starts in england in april and its also going to the us and japan but i dont know when. this is gunna rock i wanna get a job there as one of the aliens
oh my god - this is totally AWESOME!!! I've always wanted to go - - when I was 16, I made a special trip to London - specifically for Alien War! ... unfortunately, I arrived three DAYS after the flood --- and they were closed, never to re-open... imagine my delight at not only viewing this footage, but also realizing that ALIEN WAR IS BACK in 08!!!! rock on!!
Been there, done it and seen the Aliens face on, believe the hype..this is terrifying!
Went there in 1992 with my brother and two friends. We went in fearless and came out like our pants had expanded if you catch my drift!!! THE ULTIMATE EXPERIENCE OF ANY SCI-FI FANS DREAMS...AWESOME.
thanks ive been looking for stuff about this attraction for YEARS! I didn't actaully go in the ride (way too young) but i was in the trocadero in early nineties and there was a big hole in the ceiling right at the top surrounded by screens. From the whole out came an alien and there were characters on the screens shooting at it. Does anyone remember this?
The attraction in London closed after a flood in 1996 and never reopened. It made a return between December 1999 and January 2000 in the Scottish Exhibition and Conference Centre in Glasgow.
I was quite young when I went to alien war and was soooooooo scared. They have to bring it back so I can give it another and really enjoy the experience.
Are they really bringing this back, I went when i was younger and it really was the ultimate experience. I hope they bring it back it was awesome :D Is there anywhere I can find out about this revival?
I know what you mean, it was well and truly excellent, i was really gutted when i heard they were closing it down. Thank you icedarkness for finding/making this video, please keep a spare just incase, as i dont want alien war to be forgoten.
I went to Alien War back in1995, when it opened, when I got a voucher with the Alien 3 video. Can't believe it was that long ago! Apparently, there was a flood in 97-98 & it never re-opened. Shame.

Oh yeah and I know this may sound stupid but I did make a complaint simply because when they first take you in The Marine says he'll be back in a sec. What happens though is that he kicks the metal door from the outside and it swings full force in to the wall. This is where my complaint was. The 3rd time I went through it there was this kid standing right where the door would smash agaisnt the wall when the marine kicked it. Thankfully for him though I told him to move from that spot.

I'm going to try and hunt down the pictures I took. i remember though that in the 3rd month I think it was open when I went there there was a full size (don't know if it was the one used in the film ALiens) ALien Queen Model. And I mean full size professional job. All the detail shown in the one in the film.
I think it was £12 for children and £16 for adults. Not sure on that though.

The lift bit after Sector 3 all of us were told to go in the lift so we could go and escape to from a different floor. The lift stopped though and then there was banging, like thudding, on the ceiling of the lift and the marine said that they were in the lift shaft. He started tapping away at the lift console and he asked one of the guys with us to grab the lift door and pull when he presses the release button. When the lift door opened an Alien burst in and grabbed the guy. hahaha.

I remember going to this in the 90's at Picadily Circus. They absolutely ruined though in then because of health and safety and some poeple going in to shock.
I remember it clearly. The bits that got me the most though which for about 10 seconds convinced me it was all real was the lift bit and when in the APV.

This was the nuts, I was about 14 when I went in this and I shat myself lol , my brother and his friend took me there.. Funny thing was though when the lights went out and those strobes kicked in my brother was dust LOL , U felt this overwhelming surge of panic .. Fucking fantastic experience !!

I went to this a couple of times at the Trocadero in London back in the early 90's. We always used to go up town just to cause trouble, as you do when you are 13. As a dare instead of running away from the alien I would run straight at it and kick it. I'll tell you what, the 'Colonial Marines' were none too happy with me and gave me a right bollocking. Oh how I miss the care free days of misspent youth.

rosko92 3 years ago
I miss this. Went a few times with my mates when it was open. The first time we went the marine actually used a blank-firing pistol, which was of course very loud. Afterwards replaced with the less-realistic sound effect system. Alien War was like a pilgrimmage to us Alien fans - great place.
Alien War, then on to the Trocadero's VR machines - how we were spoilt in the early '90s! :)

Never would I imagine a marine who looked as much as axl rose as this one does :)
I had the luck of visiting London when the Trocadero Centre was hosting Alien War, and it was the best reality-like experience I have ever had. Relly hope they'll be back so I can repeat it!
kath80 3 years ago
lol I know I thought I recognised axl rose on in there somewhere. Went there myself and really want to experience it again, My brother started running before the aliens ever showed lol, the minute the marine was panicking and shooting he was dust hahha

Hey people! check out my video to see one of the Colonial Marines from London Alien War! an the actors in this video are weak but there were good marines! the one in my video was the most famous one there!
desibomb 3 years ago
When I was in my teens in 1996 I visited London, England for a few days with my mother and a relative. I knew that AlienWar existed somewhere in or near Piccadilly and I was determined to experience it. Sadly, even though I found the location they were closed for renovations. I never got to fulfill that wish of mine.
KahnBB6 3 years ago
I have never been to Alien War and i think its a fantastic idea, but the actors look really weak and I think that would spoil it.
It seems as if they just keep shouting "go go go" all the time and there is no real atmosphere or tension that made the original movie what it was. I.E The silence! (that was the most frightening part).
That guy with the hippie like hair, can anyone take him for a real marine?
I hope I am wrong about this but it looks a tad bit tacky, can anyone confirm this?
JoeHutton69 3 years ago
Yeah, acting is shit but you're kid of say 14 which I was when I went to it, it was shit your pants scary trust me.
As an adult I can't say what the experience would be like with as you say kinda shoddy acting.
Anyways Alien War shut down over a decade ago.
coolshit28 3 years ago
Trust me, you have to experience it before u can comment mann, I was there when I was open and the atmosphere closes in on u .. The actors only add to the dread, when your there ur not in the mindset of critisising there acting skills . . thats why I love B-movies. I think real people are b-movie actors.. Sorry for the rant dude. hope u get the chance to experience it and yes the tension and the silence is there !!

What annoys me is the guys that started it were Scottish and it first came to Glasgow at the Arches in 1993. I went to it then even though I was only 11. I was too scared to go in so was dead excited to see it was coming back but they have cancelled the original date in Glasgow of October 2008 now it's only London even though the guys started it in Glasgow... unfair!!!
j4ybab3 4 years ago
To be fair though, it is gonna have much more success in London, it's got lots of passing tourist trade. I went in the original London one years ago and it was immense. I was such a big Alien geek back then. Luckily I moved to London last september so I'm in the perfect position to experience it the second time around!!

No, it closed in 1996 I think. Apparently there was a flood on the premises and it never reopened. I walked through that passage where it used to be just a few weeks ago. It was a very cool experience, and they're supposed to be opening a new one in april. Look up Alien War on Myspace. I've still got an alien war sweater I bought somewhere.

thanks ive been looking for stuff about this attraction for YEARS! I didn't actaully go in the ride (way too young) but i was in the trocadero in early nineties and there was a big hole in the ceiling right at the top surrounded by screens. From the whole out came an alien and there were characters on the screens shooting at it. Does anyone remember this?

The attraction in London closed after a flood in 1996 and never reopened. It made a return between December 1999 and January 2000 in the Scottish Exhibition and Conference Centre in Glasgow.
