  • it pretty cool , but transformers is way better

  • i saw this when i was a kid and it freaked me out. it was a good experience tho. shows u how fast fire moves

  • I cried on this...All i could smell was smoke when we walked in + i was rlly young and didnt know what was going on...My tiger face paint was wrecked that day...

  • I was five when I first went here, and ever since then I became freaking paranoid of fire because of the heat I felt from the experience.

  • I went with my family to Universal Studios back in 1999. That was the one of the most awesome things I saw there, next to the Jaws attraction.

  • do they still have this?

  • I was scared when the floor dropped. It was great that i was there in march of 1993 to see it.

  • I wish they would have brought this back. It was so cool when the floor dropped down.

  • this was like the best attraction at universal! now they're replacing it with some transformers attraction.. lame.

  • @hayden199516 what?

  • @lp4ju What do you mean what? my comment's straight forward isn't it?

  • @lp4ju What do you mean what? my comment's straight forward isn't it?

  • Im so disappointed that this isnt there anymore.

    It was one of the best things at Universal.. :/

  • When i entered it was like real fire and i almost felled !!!!

  • I went to universal hollywood on 14-15 april 2010 did they

    cancelled this show?

    Looks very adrenaline pumping!

  • Very good special effects here. An improbable situation, but not impossible. The arsonist even used a fictional accelerant called "trychtichlorate". Fire doesn't naturally behave the way you see it in this trailer.

  • @joisey82

    Is it hot in there?

    Because all the others show are cold inside especially terminator 2 3D.

  • God this scared the Hell outta me O_O I hated the random expslosion XD and at the end the floor drops .__.

  • It is nothing compared to the real deal.

  • When I went there and saw it I nearly shat myself!!

  • R.I.P. Backdraft

  • I remember this from 1993. I was so scared my gosh. I thought it was real. Good to see it on YouTube. Memories.

  • the heat was nearly unbearable!

    when the roof fell i had a heart attack, shit scary!

  • For 18 years this was a staple attraction at USH. There something about watching things set on fire. I remember when the big rides were BTTF: the ride: Jurassic Park, ET, and Backdraft. Now it's Simpsons,Transformers and The Mummy. My god, times are a changin'.

  • is this a rollercoaster or what cuz ive beeen scared of going in this lol i go to special effect insted

  • OMG! i totally remember this when the thing we were standing on fell, some dude's pants fell! I am not kidding! HIs pants actually fell and everyone saw his underwear!

  • Love the score they used! It was also used in the LOST WORLD trailer.

  • is this ride still open in Orlando? my parents were there 16 years ago, but when we tried to find it 3 years ago we couldn't find it

  • hot as crap i almost couldn't stand it.

    It was incredible, tho

  • When I was 6 I was like screaming like hell and we had to get out

  • I heard this closed down because they got many complaints that the heat was too intense. Sometimes when there's fire (Jaws, Nightime Stuntacular) I have to turn away because of the heat the fire gives off. On this your kind of trapped.

  • @cancerman50 it was closed down, i went on that tour twice about 3weeks ago and i never saw that

  • @cancerman50 I'm not sure what to understand. It's a show about FIRE. Based from a movie about FIRE and FIREFIGHTERS

  • @mrbear24 Yeah but on the other attractions your out in the open air. The fire and heat goes up.

    On this your in an enclosed set. The heat has no where to go except towards you. It got too entense for most people.

  • nice shot

  • went on this once wen i was lil. my dad put me on his shoulders like parents do and the beam above us got on fire and it pretended to drop down and scared the living shit outta me. lookin back on it now its funny, but still ever since i dont like to go on this ride lol

  • "Transformers is an upcoming theme park ride based on the films Transformers and Revenge of the Fallen. Construction begins after Spring break 2010 and replaces the Backdraft and the Special Effects Stages attractions at Universal Studios Hollywood"

  • i remember i was in the front, and at the end this huge flame shot right at me like 5 feet away

  • I stood in the back tow and still the flame was really hot

  • this was an actual set from the movie backdraft in the last part

  • They should use this as a firefighter training facility for interior men instead of trying to thrill the public by actually putting them in danger.

  • cool i didn't go on that one cuz i thought it would freak me out lol but I went on the disaster/earthquake one and it was sooooo cool! Was it reallly hott in there?

  • we went in here when it started to rain so we could get warm lol

  • this is what happens when you play with matches kids

  • i went in there in August it was good but i jumped when the platform broke :S

  • I went there yesterday, and it was hot and boring..

  • cool

    i wnet to that ride last week

    it was so friken awesome!!

    :D

  • I remember that attraction. I was only six years old. I was so frightened to death! I was screaming and crying, and having a fit as the flames grew louder. The effects felt so real to me. My family took me to Universal Studios when I was little.

  • thats what happened to me. i was so scared

  • damn i remember tht its been yrs since i have been there do u kno if its still there

  • It was there when I went to see it about 6 months back

  • I think it's still there. But I do know that they're gonna take it out by the end of october to make way for a Transformers ride that is set to open in 2011. So I think you still have a week or two left to go on it.

  • dude thats soo cool!

    im lucky cuz i have an anual pass!

  • actually i heard that i will be closed on late November or early December because i went there on the 5 of November probably and it was still there.

  • But will they still stick to their 2011 opening date? They Better. Universal has a tendency these days to push back things.

  • Probably yes. I'm for sure it's opening on that year. I also heard they're closing it because of the accident that happened at that ride.

  • wat was the accident

  • The ride building actually got on fire.

  • really, when did this happned

  • It is i went there this summer

  • ya its still there :D

  • I remember at the end wen the stairs fall down and then u guys like fall down on the thingy.... me and my friend fell

  • WOW I REMEMBER THIS IT WAS ON AUGUST 8 2009 I WENT ON IT AND I WAS SOO SCARED BUT WHEN I GOT OUT I SAID "wow I LIKED IT BUT THATS WAS SO UNREAL ;)

  • Yea i heard there will be a king kong ride

    aswell, its from the newsest King kong movie from 2005, i wonder if Peter Jackson ( the Directer) is in on it?

    There will also be Transformers ride and a Harry Potter Theme park opening 2010

  • its closing on monday 4 evr according t wikipedia.

  • ugh this was a boring one but i had to swallow it

  • My 19 year old sister is scared of this so i forced her on it when she took me here for a sister day last week she cried and im 12 and i was like "omg look at that! Oh Caitie see that!? Hahaha dont u think this is cool!!!???" she cried and shook her head no! HAHHAHAHAHAHA

  • surely you jest!!!

  • Theirs going to be a new ride, since the kingkong got burned on the tram tour but they rebuilt it this summer. The new ride is King Kong: 8th Wonder Of The World I heard its a rollercoaster but it's in 2011.

    i thought it was real when i was little

    then i was gonna cry! -_-

  • @CassieLexX3 I went when I was 6 and I cried so hard! lol

  • man i remember i was in backdraft, there was a lot of fire that a man almost  got caught on fire

  • i went last year! lol it was scary and really hot in there!

  • i first went tew tbackdraft wen i was 15 i was so dying of heat i got cooled by going on jurrasic park :D

  • same

  • i first went on this when i was 5, and it was really intense, my mom had second thoughts about it when it was way too late but i thought it was so much fun.

  • its here in cali. every time i go to universal i go here its the best after a cold day on jurrasic park haha

  • i bet you know where you'll find my ass in the winter HAHAHAHA

  • kick ass

  • *slaps* you got counter sued

  • lmfao!

  • I didnt intend to get half my face burned off though, did I?

    You Stupid Twat

  • i was 6 when i went in there. i still remember the intensity of the heat that i just walked out...

  • it was hot in there and i hate the dude who said look above

  • i don't know if they have this anymore at the universal in orlando i hope they do im going this summer

  • This one was one of my favorites

  • This nearly burnt my eye lashes off it was that hot!!!

  • ok. who the hell dropped theyre cigar?

  • That is sooooo cool!

  • I remember seeing this and i wasn't that impressed to be honest, its just gas controlled fire. There is no proper backdraft as there would be fire everywhere!

  • the only reason i go is to dry up after jurrasic park

  • well thats true lol

  • i know huh

  • this scared the pants off me when i was a kid - i ran out the exit abandoning my mum who was in a wheelchair (to get on rides faster)

  • lol

  • Totally agree with you man!

  • Here's what you do. Go on the Jurassic Park water ride and get really soaked, then go on the Backdraft attraction to dry off. Trust me it gets so hot in there you'll dry instantly no matter how soaked you are.

  • hahaha yup yup i did that!

  • Man, when me and my family went to go see the Backdraft attraction, it was out of order! Looked really awesome though. All we got to see was the Ron Howard introduction, that's it!

  • Comment removed

  • When we took my cousing who was 3 at the time, he cried and said

    "booboo!"

    hahah, he meant it was hot or something I guess

  • I just returned from Universal Studios, FL. Was the Backdraft attraction removed? I didn't see a Transformers attraction either. I liked Backdraft when I saw it years ago.

  • its at Hollywood for sure..idk about the one in Florida..

  • i'm a firefighter and when i went i thought it would be dumb. but it is pretty much as close as you can get with out it being for real. just imaging alot more smoke and the heat 100x hotter but if you ever get the chance to go to universal dont miss backdraft it's awsome

  • firefighters are awesome :)

    I'd be too chicken though, after this attraction and the movie it took my fear of fire and maximized it. Now that you said that though...shit!

  • i love this actarion and it is closing down to become a transformers ride.

  • no, really?

  • this scared the shit outta me when i was seven and its the most vivid memory of universals i remember

  • I got scared at the body world ride. I was 6

  • I hated BackDraft i got soo scared! xD mah nephew started tew cry though.

  • Really? So i've been very lucky to be there few months ago because, as a friend told me of this attraction like 6 years ago i've ever looked forward to go and we live in the Canary Islands :S

  • is this really closing??

  • I just got hired for Backdraft ride operator so nah, it's a false rumor.

  • ya its relly closing it was in the news.

  • i'm afraid it isn't a false rumor.

  • I had a nightmare that they made a new attraction of this.....scares the crud outta me every time...

  • I swear that I smelled the smoke again in my room.

  • I love this attraction. It's sad they're closing it down.

  • Foam foam foam!!.. gas fire! ;)

  • u can really feel the heat! and the drop was unexpected!

  • what drop?

  • uh yeah my parents went on before i did and they didnt tell me we were going 2 drop! i freaked out but it was cool and HOT!!!!

  • when i went ther i was on the seconed balcony cause you now how ther is another under well i got skerd when the thing fell the whole section on top fell

  • When I went to this I almost started freaking out. lol

    Just the feeling of seeing the fire blaze around you without having any control put a horrible sense of dread in my mind. Amazing attraction!

  • they got rid of back to the funture????? zomg was it very very hot? i never went there

  • It was really cool, but sooooo hot!!!!!

  • it gets really hot in that room.

  • I LOVE THIS!

  • No! house of horrors scared the shit outta me!

  • hahaha it did the same to me!

  • i wouldn't even go within 30 feet of that ride because i thought my brother would push me in.

  • rolf

  • I was 6 years old when I went on this attraction, & I was really frightened! I was really tired & I wanted 2 go home, but my mom & dad took me in2 that show since it was last show of the day.

  • i agree with rocafella142 when i went in this "attraction" i really found no point to it WOW ITS BLAZING HOT AND THINGS CATCH ON FIRE!! how exciting -_-

  • meh...they shoulda got rid of this instead of back to the future

  • Yeah, if you're a FAG.

  • Its really sad how this is what it was like in the backlot goodby king kong

  • i remembered the platform you where on during this would jolt REALLY bad :P when the whole top part of catwalks and wood looked like it was gonna collapse on you

    thats what always scared me about this ride not knowing when to expect it

  • Okay, we could do without the "scary music". -_______-U

  • i hated that movie. its so damn hot in there to my dad was all why the hell did we come in here

  • i cried through the thing when i was little

  • Haha, cry baby

  • I didn't even stay. I remember I had my parents let me go stand outside when I was 9-10.

  • me too

  • me too.

  • SMELLS LIKE DYNAMITE.

  • the end when i went there scared the shit out of my brother

  • It's definately better to see this live. When you see it live, if you look out above the little control roon you can see some smoke creeping, and that is the closest thing to a backdraft on the ride. The rest of the fire is just flammable liquid burning. Still it's a sick ride and I recommend it to everyone.

  • Yeah, i worked there for a year, I miss it... :(
