My mom, dad, and I were amongst the first to ride this when it was in "soft-opening" at Universal Studios Florida in 1991. I will always remember my first trip Back to the Future!
I remember for the first time when I went on this ride when I was like three or four, I thought I was actually going into the real Delorean and going back and time and into the future. It was so amazing!!! I don't know why the took the ride out.
This used to be my favorite ride when I was little. The last time I rode this was around 2001. I can't believe they closed this down! Especially when there were far worse rides than this :(
That is so awesome!!! I wish I would have been able to ride this ride. Just from this video it gave a better sense of what the ride did. I have the 30th Anniversary DVD of the Back to the Future trilogy and the ride is on the Back to the Future part 3 disc and from watching it, it didn't do justice of what the ride was actually like. Also, at the very end of the video, people better have seen part 3 or they just saw a spoiler of how it ended...lol. I loved seeing the people in line laughing.
i rode this ride for the first time just several days before they took it down! i wish they would bring this amazing ride back. The park just isnt the same without it.
I just bought a Delorean and I always said when I get a Delorean I want to put the horn from the ride on it. 0:42 does anyone know where i could find that horn kit?
I remember I went on this when I was 5. I got so scared and pretty much closed my eyes the whole time. LOL I was such a whimp. I wish it was still there because looking at it now, I think it would be fun!
Want to see BTTF: The Ride 2..? We have the ears of Universal Studios and the films creators! The final episode of the official BTTF game is near, emotions and ideas are running wild with Telltale, the original BTTF cast, and Universal Studios. Now is the perfect time to show just how popular the film really is, and how its fan base continues to grow due to its timeless story line and amazing cast...
'94..Back when the fashion was better, back when people actually paid attention to the videos and actually LAUGHED at them too. Lol I was like 3 in '94
@Tonytambe what are you talking about? "Men in Black: Alien Attack" isn't an original ride at Universal. That ride opened in 2000, 10 years after the park first opened and it's still in operation at Universal Orlando.
This is when Universal was special. Brought a tear to my eye. Ride the movies...? More like ride some old tat and a cartoon that is fading fast. All they has to do was tweak the ride based on the best trilogy of all time... Back To The Future!
I have just seen this and found out they have closed the ride. I visited US in 94 & 95. This was without a doubt the best ride of its type and blew my mind the 1st time I went on it. I am gutted that I will not be able to take the trip again. Gutted.
the simpsons ride is cool but i really wish they kept this ride. my uncle was telling me about it while we were waiting in line and he said it used to be his favorite.
cant believe it was there in 1992 and now am going in march with my kids from ireland ..heard jaws was closing for crappy potter..now ive seen back to the future is gone..arghhhhhh....both are timeless classics sure youve got to move forward but dont throw out fantastic themed classics ..my kids luvvv back to the future movies have them on dvd and bluray and jaws..now the journey from Ireland to Florida seems less attractive...bring it back.....pleeese.....ya dont mess up a good thing..
Yeah there was dude. You go in the elevator just before boarding the Delorean. In the elevator also was a copy of the letter used in Back To The Future 1 that Marty wrote to Doc warning him of the Lybians shooting him dead back in 1984.
I remember I was on that ride. It was so realistic, like you were actually in that town. I know that's the whole point, but It was a little more that what I expected. I went on that ride for the first time in 98'
I went on this ride when I was five...and I was crying and closing my eyes the whole time. I was such a whimp. :P But now that I look at it it actually looks fun and I wish I could try it again! That sucks that they got rid of it. I don't even like the Simpsons, but the Back to the Future movies are great! lol
I feel like crying...Universal just doesn't have anything to offer anymore. No Back to the Future, no King Kong, no Ghostbusters, no Alfred Hitchcock, and no more Nickelodeon. I feel like my childhood has disintegrated.
Yep Back to the Future set got replaced into a crappy kid theme park. The Back to the Future ride is replaced with The Simpsons ride. Jaws was replaced with Harry Potter. E.T. Ride is still standing. They took away the King Kong ride I forgot what they replaced it with though.
They didint use the back to the future set for the ride all that wasn't really there evening the Dino that locked like is there wasn't it was all simulated
+Mike D I am not a fan of Harry potter and was just there on Halloween. I got to say it was impressive and the ride was way better then Jaws was. The new King Kong is opening 2016 and the way the decorations are already set up it is jaw dropping. They just closed Twister the ride and will be replaced by Jimmy Fallons new 3d ride and Disaster got closed to make way for Fast and the Furious.
i was fortunate to ride this it was the best ride in universal studios and probably disney world though for sure a top five road compared to the disney world rides to
I loved going on this ride as a kid and now I can't do it anymore. Why do they get rid of all of the good rides? King Kong got replaced with the mummy (although the mummy is awesome, I also liked King Kong), The Hanna Barbera got replaced with Jimmy Nuetron, and now this. I'm guessing either ET or Jaws is going to be next to go. :(
How much is the ride and where is it because im confused I was told it was at Disney land in france so I go there to my surprise the joke was on me again.
Apparently the ride still exists in Osaka, Japan at Universal Studios Japan. Of course that's all the way in Japan...At least it still exists in some form.
Immensely upset that it was taken down, that's always really sad. I love the simpsons I wish both could be around? Maybe they could update the back to the future? I recently saw it with my dad on DVD. Loved it! Shame I was way to young to ever go on this :(
What is wrong with Universal Studios? This is the best ride they've ever had. I went on this ride in Florida and was going to take my family on it in California during our summer vacation. Imagine my dismay when I discovered it had been removed and replaced with "The Simpsons"; a show which I've never watched. I did enjoy the ride but it doesn't compare to BTTF. Please bring this ride back!!!
That epic music always brings a tear to my eye and reminds me of my Florida holidays as a kid. I was so lucky..
My mom, dad, and I were amongst the first to ride this when it was in "soft-opening" at Universal Studios Florida in 1991. I will always remember my first trip Back to the Future!
This was by far, my favorite ride at Universal.
I remember riding this when I was like 9 back in 2000 and absolutely loved it :)
I remember for the first time when I went on this ride when I was like three or four, I thought I was actually going into the real Delorean and going back and time and into the future. It was so amazing!!! I don't know why the took the ride out.
This used to be my favorite ride when I was little. The last time I rode this was around 2001. I can't believe they closed this down! Especially when there were far worse rides than this :(
Crying :'( I used to have this on vhs and used to watch it all the time when I was little with my brother. I wanna go back to the good ole days!
i loved this ride when i was there, i went on it loads of times
Please--bring this ride Back to the Future....This was my favorite attraction at Universal. Thanks for posting....
this was the best ride ever!!
I got to ride on this when I was 5... it was pretty much the greatest thing ever. I feel 5 again just watching this.
I love the classy feel of adverts from this period. It's actually believable and genuine, their park is slowly becoming a joke now.
GREEEAAAT video. Wow. Time flies waaaaaaay too fast.
I loved this ride so much, I was like, 10 or something. It was really fun.
2:11 Marty and Jennifer: AAH!!
wow! I remember that ride when I was a kid. So many great memories made at universal studios.
Should've never got rid of this, so many memories riding this growing up. I did too hope to take my kids on it someday.
That is so awesome!!! I wish I would have been able to ride this ride. Just from this video it gave a better sense of what the ride did. I have the 30th Anniversary DVD of the Back to the Future trilogy and the ride is on the Back to the Future part 3 disc and from watching it, it didn't do justice of what the ride was actually like.

I CANT BELIEVE THEY GOT RID OF IT I NEVER GOT CHANCE TO GO ON IT
Me Neither i was a Little Kid back when it was shut down for the Simpsons
ahh i always wanted to go in a delorean :-(
When i first saw that i got so Pissed
i know now i have to go to japan theres one the i need to go to japan now
Well if i were you i wouldn't be in the mood for Translation
i rode this ride for the first time just several days before they took it down! i wish they would bring this amazing ride back. The park just isnt the same without it.
Damn, the narrator made this ride sound like a monumental epic. And rightfully so :)
awe this reminds me of my childhood!! i still remember seeing this outdated video around 2004!
Never went on the one in Florida but the one in California I would ride every time I went on it. A piece of 90's history lost forever.
Dude....that sux, it was probably the greatest ride i've ever been on.
I just bought a Delorean and I always said when I get a Delorean I want to put the horn from the ride on it. 0:42 does anyone know where i could find that horn kit?
what a ride , cant believe theyve replaced it... it never got boring.
I will miss this ride =[ is was on of my favorites
I Love this Movie! :)
I remember I went on this when I was 5. I got so scared and pretty much closed my eyes the whole time. LOL I was such a whimp. I wish it was still there because looking at it now, I think it would be fun!
Want to see BTTF: The Ride 2..?

I went on this in 1997, the 90's were fucking awesome, this was an epic ride! Ah nostalgia, you wonderful thing!

OMG I looooved this even though i got a sore neck afterwards!!
Man this takes me back to when I was 10

i cant beleive they took it out.

this ride was so epic...I was always scared when it went straight down into the volcano
'94..Back when the fashion was better, back when people actually paid attention to the videos and actually LAUGHED at them too.
Lol I was like 3 in '94
Great video!
i loved this so much
@Tonytambe what are you talking about? "Men in Black: Alien Attack" isn't an original ride at Universal. That ride opened in 2000, 10 years after the park first opened and it's still in operation at Universal Orlando.
i miss this ride soo much!!
wow thanks..this had to be thee greatest ride ever :''(
omg ren and stimpy was my favorite show!!!="{
totally agree with you.
at least i got to ride it but i don't remember it at all!! i love this movie!!
This is when Universal was special. Brought a tear to my eye. Ride the movies...? More like ride some old tat and a cartoon that is fading fast. All they has to do was tweak the ride based on the best trilogy of all time... Back To The Future!
watching this makes me sad...miss it a lot was my fave ride at universal :(
I have just seen this and found out they have closed the ride. I visited US in 94 & 95. This was without a doubt the best ride of its type and blew my mind the 1st time I went on it.
I am gutted that I will not be able to take the trip again. Gutted.
i rode this when i was 5... never will forget it
I loved this ride.
the simpsons ride is cool but i really wish they kept this ride. my uncle was telling me about it while we were waiting in line and he said it used to be his favorite.
THIS MOVIE IS THE BEST EVA
I miss the 90's :(
Too bad I missed this, would've loved this
Does anyone know what movie that music from 2:25 until the end is from? This has been bugging me for years.
Johnny Jones The song is known as Reach for the Stars, and it was not made for any specific movie. It was used as a public domain song for trailers.
WayCool64 Thanks a lot, I've been trying to figure this out for ages!!!
i loved it!! it was so cool!
Nothing against new rides, but why not keep this classic and amazing ride? I had a great time. Thanks for the video.
Forget the simpson ride, this is where its at! Great memories
cant believe it was there in 1992 and now am going in march with my kids from ireland ..heard jaws was closing for crappy potter..now ive seen back to the future is gone..arghhhhhh....both are timeless classics sure youve got to move forward but dont throw out fantastic themed classics ..my kids luvvv back to the future movies have them on dvd and bluray and jaws..now the journey from Ireland to Florida seems less attractive...bring it back.....pleeese.....ya dont mess up a good thing..
It's crazy how much the Universal Park has changed since it first opened. I think Jaws and ET are the only original rides left.
I luved this ride ive riden it 6 times! :D
Yeah there was dude. You go in the elevator just before boarding the Delorean. In the elevator also was a copy of the letter used in Back To The Future 1 that Marty wrote to Doc warning him of the Lybians shooting him dead back in 1984.
was my favorite ride ever !
I remember I was on that ride. It was so realistic, like you were actually in that town. I know that's the whole point, but It was a little more that what I expected. I went on that ride for the first time in 98'
I want to take the time machine back to when this ride was still in the US
I went on this ride when I was five...and I was crying and closing my eyes the whole time. I was such a whimp. :P But now that I look at it it actually looks fun and I wish I could try it again! That sucks that they got rid of it. I don't even like the Simpsons, but the Back to the Future movies are great! lol
i remember going on this when i was 7 years old! funnest ride EVER! IM SO UPSET ITS GONe
I feel like crying...Universal just doesn't have anything to offer anymore. No Back to the Future, no King Kong, no Ghostbusters, no Alfred Hitchcock, and no more Nickelodeon. I feel like my childhood has disintegrated.
I was so mad it closed, every time I went there I looked forward to this ride...
At least I got the shirt before it closed
Yep Back to the Future set got replaced into a crappy kid theme park. The Back to the Future ride is replaced with The Simpsons ride. Jaws was replaced with Harry Potter. E.T. Ride is still standing. They took away the King Kong ride I forgot what they replaced it with though.
The king kong ride burned down
They didint use the back to the future set for the ride all that wasn't really there evening the Dino that locked like is there wasn't it was all simulated
+Mike D I am not a fan of Harry potter and was just there on Halloween. I got to say it was impressive and the ride was way better then Jaws was.

Mike D kong is now the mummy
This is and was so much better than the Simpsons ride.. i just like the Simpsons theme across the park..
glad i rode this when i had the chance in 2005.
i miss this ride
does anyone know witch ride that was with the Ford semi truck in the air opening it's hood?
@moviesperson100001 it is still at unviersal studios japan dude
i was fortunate to ride this it was the best ride in universal studios and probably disney world though for sure a top five road compared to the disney world rides to
i was there on that ride, three years later.
Now see, why would they close this down? Honestly. It's Back to the Future. Nothing is better than that.
I loved going on this ride as a kid and now I can't do it anymore. Why do they get rid of all of the good rides? King Kong got replaced with the mummy (although the mummy is awesome, I also liked King Kong), The Hanna Barbera got replaced with Jimmy Nuetron, and now this. I'm guessing either ET or Jaws is going to be next to go. :(
man, what a great ride it was
Should've kept this instead of Simpsons
its not long from now i was there a year ago for 4 days and each day it was broken down. But we still have twister :)
@NicknPayphone Do you ever get to hear Christopher's awesome voice or is his voice completely dubbed over?
THE BEST TIME OF MY DAMN LIFE
i totally wanna see the rest of this video.
How much is the ride and where is it because im confused I was told it was at Disney land in france so I go there to my surprise the joke was on me again.
As it says in the title, it was in Universal studios Florida. It has been replaced by "The Simpsons Ride" in 2008.
i went on it 1 year before they closed it... T.T I miss it.
Apparently the ride still exists in Osaka, Japan at Universal Studios Japan. Of course that's all the way in Japan...At least it still exists in some form.
Immensely upset that it was taken down, that's always really sad. I love the simpsons I wish both could be around? Maybe they could update the back to the future? I recently saw it with my dad on DVD. Loved it! Shame I was way to young to ever go on this :(
That was my favorite ride! My favorite part was when I got eaten by the dinosaur!
i remember i wanted to go on this so bad, but when i finally got to universal studios, i found out i was 4 months late
@Sonicd00d3 yea but one thing about the simpsons is still on back to the future ended 30 years ago pretty much
I remember going on this as a kid. The only part I really remember was going down the dinosaurs mouth.
Back to the Future is LIVE!!!
I was three years old in 2001 and i wanted to ride it
I havent been on the ride. but ther are 2 bloopers. At 1:33 and 1:54, Wouldnt the car be destroyed?
BRING IT BACK!
What is wrong with Universal Studios? This is the best ride they've ever had. I went on this ride in Florida and was going to take my family on it in California during our summer vacation. Imagine my dismay when I discovered it had been removed and replaced with "The Simpsons"; a show which I've never watched. I did enjoy the ride but it doesn't compare to BTTF. Please bring this ride back!!!
2:11 Awww!
@Kizuii i agree with you. i only got on back to the future 1nce. I MEAN COME ON.
I WANT IT BACK
BAD
i went on this ride when i was 6, i went back last year im now 15, sucks that its gone but i really like the simpsons ride!!!
