Stanley Park Ghost Train Question

Oddly Specific 🎯

I know this is a bit of a stretch but back in the 2000's, the Stanley Park Ghost Train had the theme of Martian invasion, with some seriously good effects (to my then child eyes). They'd have the train stop and pretend to be non-functional, while the "Martians" came towards the train, abducted what I can only reasonably assume to be an actor, and then take them to some sort of pod. They'd then seal the glowing pod and it would disappear into some sort of set piece.

I was wondering if anybody had any pictures of that wild stuff. Scared the living crap out of me as a child and was a key memory but I can't seem to find any images of it, maybe it's just been too long. The pod was fairly large and was the main event, I think the aliens were sort of generic greys, maybe on stilts, with black suits. Not expecting a ton of success here but I figure it's worth a shot.
