The attraction tells the story of a new technology advancement being demonstrated by an alien company called XS TECH who is very advanced and willing to share secrets, for a profit. The innovation is Hyper-spacial Transport.In the first room a video gives you a short history lesson on the company, then introduces you to chairman Clench, who offers the anecdote,"if something can't be done with XS then it shouldn't be done at all."
The second room places you on one of three levels that face a robot wearing bike gear, surrounded by two tubes. One contains the very cute alien Skippy, one is empty. The robot, SIR, comes to life and talks about the process of teleportation, meanwhile frying Skippy in the demonstration, then sending Skippy's molecules into the air indefinitely.
Finally you are led into the main chamber, which looks like something out of Star Wars. Lights flash, machines and computers hum. In the center is another tube, somewhat like the one in the previous room, but able to accommodate a much larger being. After you take your seat the bars that come down on your shoulders scan you to see who will be suitable for the transport. But before they can release the bars, Clench comes in with the new idea to go to earth himself.
Dr. Femus tries to make calculations for the change, but an impatient Clench makes Spinlok pull the lever to start the teleportation. A planet in the way of the signal intercepts Clench, but scanners quickly find a life form thought to be him. After teleported to the chamber, it isn't long until you find out it isn't Clench. The first signs are the red glowing eyes, the eight to ten foot height, and the roaring.
The alien breaks out of the "unbreakable" tube, knocking out power, and begins a rampage in the chamber, eating an XS employee on the way. Before being lured back into the tube by Dr. Femus screaming in the tube speakers, it breathes, spits, licks, and steps on you.
The end comes when the alien is electrocuted in the tube. After much roaring and howling, it explodes on you. Clench, at least at the time that you leave, is not found. And you walk out with a little alien intestine on your face. Sounds like fun, doesn't it?
