I've heard people here and there complain about the ride on the forums.
They never brought a game back, doubt they ever will.
Probably not.
Itll be susprising if the ride stays open in 2015 and beyond
I actually got in contact with the owners at Universal a few months back hoping that they still had some stuff from the ride but most of it was given away and the rest of the items were destroyed it sucks cause there is such value in the BTTF movies that people would want anything even stuff from the ride:(
No. All those rides were crappy, even if the video was good. Basically you get inside a machine that bucks around a little while it shows you a video. It didn't even work on me when I was a kid!
There's all of little things you don't get in a video. Like seeing the Institute of Future Technology, with clips doc in various times on the monitors. And the props in the waiting room just before the ride.
I'm just glad I got to experience it plenty of times before it was gone.
The ride has been replaced by the Simpson's ride. I doubt it'll ever be changed back to BTTF. They'll probably have The Simpson's Ride for a long time before it is changed to anything else.
I guess the only way to try out the ride now is to go to Japan.

The Simpsons ride is awful, and I hope BTTF returns some day.
I barely remember the riding the BttF ride, I enjoyed it from what I do remember. However being an avid theme park tripper, mostly WDW and rarely USO. I know US will not bring back BttF. Be it because of the fabled "2015 making it out of date" rumor or whatever else, older attractions do not come back. Well unless you count the return of the tiki room that is coming back to WDW.
As for the simpsons ride, I liked it. I'm a big fan of the show for years now and to ride the ride I felt it was great. One of the few good rides at USO. Some say it's just a car with a screen but face it most ride simulators are. Just some are better at immersing you into the experience than others. Then again Universal isn't really good at this in general. I feel Universal is very out of date to begin with, they have tons of newer properties but yet they feel the need to keep old stuff no one cares about, but at this point I'm going on more of a theme park rant, so I'm done
I checked out The Simpsons Ride that replaced it when I was there last year, and it's pretty fun. I even got my picture with Homer.
Universal Orlando still has a DeLorean and the time train from Part III on display, and Doc makes appearances there as well.
I think Doc also makes appearances in Universal Hollywood as well. He used to drive around in the DeLorean but now it's a bicycle. I miss those days...
TO DEATH.
I'd Thanatos all over the BTTF ride. The line, the anticipation, the videos leading up to it, soaring into a T-Rex's mouth... it was no less an achievement than the taking of Troy.
When I was in Florida in October, my friend told Doc what a big fan I was (and that I'd been driving her crazy reminding her that I wanted to find the DeLorean) so he took my camera and took pictures of the Flux Capacitor and the time circuits for me. It was awesome. :cool:
I think he still rides the bike around the park too.
Was a family vacation and was our first trip to universal studios in Cali, i think that was the one ride where we all collectively had the most fun, was also the first time i ever heard my mom squeal/scream from all the bumping and rocking and stuff xD the ride totally ruined us for the starwars ride at disneyland the next day, the rides dont even compare, bttf was just so much more fun.
Shame that its gone >: i had planned to take another trip sometime and go ride it again, i guess im too late now though ><
Well atleast u got to ride it.. i never got the chance.. and there was a star wars ride too?
There still is; they just closed it down for refurbishment. It's actually open now.
Star Tours Info.
I went when I was younger. Back then they had the Honey I shrunk the kids ride. It was lame. BUt the BTTF ride looks lame too so oh well.
Oh i had no idea lol
And by 3D I mean...actual 3D, there were freaking sculpted statues that came out of the billboard.
Does anyone still have pictures of those billboards? I mean the ride footage has been pretty well preserved but the pictures of the billboards I can't find anymore.
EDIT: Cool! Post 85! :P
