I seem to never get tired of bitching about how this ride closed. I mean how could the powers-that-be even remotely conceive the idea of closing such an awesome attraction. Although as much as BTTF has been and always will be a big part of my life, I should probably just move on and Simpson's Ride a go.
That guy that yelled, "make a prequel!" needs to get decked upside the head...leave the trilogy alone, it's perfect just the way it is. If it were to be touched, altered, added on, or remade, it would just be like all the other trash of today. Cherish original cinema for what it's worth, for films like these aren't made to have the kind of genuine creativity that BTTF had. By the way, thanks for the memories, BTTF: The Ride!
why would they close such an excellent ride...i miss it so much and i entered 2 win the delorean about 100 times and i didnt win anything. i really miss that ride!
well my friends mom works for universal in california and they closed it because it was too old. which got me sooo pissed off because it was my first and favorite ride there!
Becoz Chris Lloyd for one is not a stunt driver to do that little trick with the car where he spun out and or insurance perposes, secondly he is a highly paid actor and was only there as a cameo press shot. The look alike makes pennies compared to Chris Lloyd.
It would have been cool for Christopher Lloyd to dress up as Doc. Christopher Lloyd is the man. He made the movie great. I love his famous line, "1.21 Gigawatts."
nooo i shoulda been there its my dream to see chis lloyd and its sad they are taking down that ride after all those years It's the best ride.I hope there will be a day where the back to the future films will be shown in theaters again in it's original form.
Universal's focus is about the "new". They feel BTTF has had its run (even though they didn't keep it in good condition) and will just reuse the building and ride tech, replace the ride film, decor, hopefully the TV screens, and put in The Simpsons. Should open in the spring.
I'm going to do this when I create Universal Studios Toronto except the grand opening ceremony is at night and the ride will open at midnight with fireworks going out when the ride opens and the park is close but a portion of Future city where Back to the Future the ride is its only open for Back to the Future fans and invited guest.
I was tempted to go on it again. I was back in Hollywood in Feb, and was right outside the park gates (had 4 hours to kill before my flight and went to Citywalk). However, after hearing how the ride had gone downhill in recent years, I hold onto my memories from when I went in 1995 and 1997. Given how popular this ride is to BTTf fans, why doesn't Universal just release a theme park-exclusive DVD with the ride's content? I'd pay $30 for that, and I'm sure other die-hard fans would also.
Because they're stupid. They're double dipping on the movie trilogy soon and are making a video of guest comments from this event. Man, just the bonus feature of this press event, ride film, and pre-show videos would be enough for me to buy the set again. Plus a "Making of" the ride video. But we'll just see what they do in the future, huh?!
I already planned to make a Universal Studios in Toronto Canada once I finish High School and College and get a job at Universal and if the company ask me to replace BTTF the ride with a new ride i'm going to refuse to because this is my favorite ride and I won't make the same mistake that Orlando and Hollywood made.
I am torn. Im excited for the simpsons ride but ughhhhhh I LOVE back to the future!!!!!!!! Hopefully I can get there tomorrow to ride it one more time.
Wow, thanks for the vid!!! I would have loved to be there to witness that, as BTTF is my favorite movie and I've always thought the ride was a wonderful compliment to it... What a pity that they have decided to get rid of such a wonderful attraction. Though, I thought it was great that they gave it a proper send off.
OMG! I'm so glad to see that someone put this up on youtube. I was wondering what the heck was happening that day but I couldn't stay to see because I was running late to work!
how far from disneyland resort and universal stuidos??? and how you have benn ride me no i have disneyworld ALOT 5 time soooon we might live in cinderlla castle if we want it
Anybody know what is going to replace BTTF ride. I heard alot of rumours but I still think it could have went on for years to come. What a shame. First Florida, and now Hollywood closing. If Spiderman 3D is replacing it Im sure people will be happy in Hollywood. The one in Florida Rocks. It's the best ride in both parks.
Well after going on the ride and doing photos for the press, he immediately wanted to leave. Plus I'm sure many people would like to see him as just Chris.
I wiki it and yes Orlando did that is mess up man... The original attraction opened on May 2, 1991, at Universal Studios Florida. Its success prompted the construction of a nearly identical copy on June 2, 1993 at Universal Studios Hollywood and on March 31, 2001 at Universal Studios Japan. The original ride in Orlando enjoyed almost sixteen years of constant operation before its final closure, to little fanfare,
Nooooooooooooooooo!
