Universal Studios Florida's Men In Black: Alien Attack allows you to put your zapping skills to the test. You'll find out if you have what it takes to become one of the famous Men in Black.

The ride takes you into the MIB headquarters where it's your job to zap aliens that have made their way to Earth. Making your way through the streets of New York you'll see plenty of aliens hidden all around. One to keep an eye out for is sitting on a bench.

Keep an eye out for a "man" sitting about reading a newspaper, he might look familiar. This alien has disguised himself as legendary director Steven Spielberg. He isn't visible for every rider as it depends which of the two vehicles you enter.

Steven Spielberg isn't the only recognisable face you'll see on the ride. Frank the Pug can also be found hanging out in his stand.

One final detail you might not have noticed about Men In Black: Alien Attack is actually on the facade. In real life there are three World's Fair Observatory Towers, whilst the Universal version only have 2. This is because in the Men In Black movie, one was actually a disguised ship that Edgar attempted to use to escape. You can even see the bottom of the tower, just without its spaceship topper.
