  • Back to the Future: The Ride was a simulator attraction at Universal Studios theme parks. The attraction is based on and inspired by the Back to the Future film series. It was previously located at Universal Studios Florida and Universal Studios Hollywood, where it has since been replaced by The Simpsons Ride, and at Universal Studios Japan where it has since been replaced by Despicable Me Minion Mayhem. In this video, we take a look at the history of the attraction, the behind-the-scenes of both the film and ride system and the closures of all 3 attractions.

      Back to the Future, JAWS, and maybe Hanna-Barbera! 😆😆😆😆 PLEASE make this happen Universal, There is still love AND popularity with these franchises! And with all that space, could you at least bring back a couple of fan favorites?! Or at the VERY least, Back to the Future?! I would die from excitement if I get to ride the time-traveling DeLorean once again! Just as I would with NintendoLand! Make it happen Universal creative!! 👏👏👏😁😁😁😁😁

    I never had the chance to ride this one, but it seemed promising. Can you just imagine how this ride could have turned out had it been made today? With what could be projected on the screen and all the practical effects, it could be just as, if not more, successful, than the Harry Potter or Transformers rides. Building the whole 'world' of Despicable Me was just a waste, and the hype was just so short lived for those films too. Universal should focus more on their films that really lives throughout the ages. Hopefully, Harry Potter world never leaves.

    • @ThemeParkHistory
      @ThemeParkHistory  6 ปีที่แล้ว +30

      I would take the original ride plans of a roller coaster and blend it with what Escape from Gringotts is like. Imagine speeding up to 88 MPH and time traveling to the next scene. I think that would be an awesome ride experience.

      I think it would work as a roller coaster if they used the same ride system that is in placed with Escape From Gringotts. Launching fast to make it feel like your going 88 MPH to the next time period, then having it play out on the screens until you launch again to the next period.

I fell in love with it on our very first trip to Universal when I was younger, and when my parents showed me the movies -- well. I've been a Backie ever since. It was the best and I am soo annoyed they chose to replace with Simpsons. *grumbles* (Also, Disaster! is gone too?! I loved that!

    Love the BTTF: The Ride bonus features on the Blu Ray release of the movies - brings back memories from childhood. I think it would be great if Universal had a building that was just a mini-museum/tribute to previous rides and attractions to honor their own legacy and educate younger guests on what came before.

      Thank you! I REALLY wish they would have a walk through attraction for those former rides, something like they had for I Love Lucy a few years ago. It just seems right to honor those attractions that were a staple of the park when it first opened. Universal probably doesn't want to because once people find out about the older attractions they're going to want them instead of the new stuff they're getting lol.

      I would replace the Simpson ride with show technology like the new Star Tours, randomized virtual sets that the Deloreans and the riders that have to fly throughout Uni's history to fix the timeline. Anything new could easily be shot and uploading to the queue for new rider experiences, and each ride would be different. This would probably be tied into a small museum. It'll be more of a ride to celebrate past, present and future Universal properties.

I don't think people really appreciate the work that would go in to creating rides like this, those miniature sets must have taken months to build and to film it must have been a lot of grueling work. I understand CGI is the way things are done now but there's a lack of realism with it.

    I have only been to Universal Florida two times in all my life, and only rode this ride once. While I enjoyed it, it was not as good as Disney's Star Tours. But what was special about that day was my grandma, who was almost 80 years old, rode on it with my mom and I and enjoyed it, even though she never saw the movies.

    It was purely tragic that Universal replaced this ride. What's worse is the fact that they replaced it with the Simpsons ride? It is one of the worst experiences ever. Count me out until they replace it with something a bit more redeeming.

    • @ThemeParkHistory
      @ThemeParkHistory  6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I think you'll be out for a while then Nadeem. Just like you I'm not that eager to visit the park these days, with the new attractions being very similar to each other. Universal needs to have some diversity in their rides again!

    • @nadeemhosein9278
      @nadeemhosein9278 6 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Theme Park History Great minds think alike. I went to UO at the beginning of the year and this ride along with the ambiance seemed lackluster and out of place with everything else in the park. But that's just my opinion. It felt like the park found a cheap way to replace a great attraction. The day I went, this was the only attraction where the only wait was immediately before the ride. I guess no one wanted to ride it either. The ride itself was not even technologically sound. The picture was dim, the sound was low and the story was not engaging. It was the least immersive experience in the park.
      Maybe my nostalgia is getting the best of me but I thoroughly enjoyed it when I worked there in 1992 when I was 10 years old.

    • @ThemeParkHistory
      @ThemeParkHistory  6 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      I don't think it's your nostalgia, I haven't seen one single comment saying The Simpsons Ride is better than BTTF, actually more people wish they never closed it. I think the problem with The Simpsons Ride is the same problem the TV show has: it's past it's prime. I enjoyed watching The Simpsons when I was a kid but as time went on the show wasn't as good as it originally was. When the ride opened there was buzz for it because the movie just came out. Now 10 years later while the entire area of Springfield is pretty cool, the attraction is outdated. Looking back on it the attraction really is a re-skin of BTTF: The Ride. I don't know what they can do to update it (projection upgrades? 4K? new story?). I think it will be very interesting to see what happens in the next few years with Disney now owning the Simpsons franchise and the tv series possibly wrapping up. Hopefully Universal finds something that is immersive and as interesting as BTTF was.

    • @nadeemhosein9278
      @nadeemhosein9278 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Sorry for the late response. I agree the show is past its prime. I honestly can't watch it without being turned off anymore. I think I enjoyed it when I was younger because I didn't have too many alternatives at my fingertips like I do now. You are right that it is a re-skin. It seems like the cheapest solution for a ride replacement. One thing I noticed while in the ride was the picture seemed of lesser quality (closer to SD) and it was very dim. Storywise, I think it would've been more tasteful if they parodied their own park instead of Disney. While it would be difficult for me to think of something creative to put there, I believe the engineers can do a cost effective solution if they needed to re-skin it. Look at how well Flight of Passage works in a similar manner. Maybe instead of putting a set of people in 4 row benches, they could put people in individualized seats to make it more immersive. But that's just me.
      Thank you for this trip back through memory lane! You have an awesome channel. I would love to see a video on The Funtastic World of Hanna Barbera! :)

    I just turned 18 and in 2007 I had gone down to Orlando with all of my extended family about 12 of us and we did both Universal theme parks and at the time I had known what back to the future was and always watched them on VHS and my parents had told me stories about them going to the parks on their honeymoon and going on the ride themselves. So getting down there I was so excited about riding in the time machine but then faced the fact that rides get closed. And know that they were changing it to a Simpsons ride was so upsetting. And now in the recent years becoming even more of a super fan and the events of 2015 it really makes me sad to know that this happened.

    While I'm glad you put the video in the closing credits, I'm surprised you didn't discuss in at least a little more detail the pre-show animated segment at the Simpsons Ride which features Doc Brown and "explains" how and why the institute of future technology was destroyed.

    • @ThemeParkHistory
      @ThemeParkHistory  6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      It was the one thing that annoyed me the most when the ride opening, how can you take a 2D animated show and recreate it in CGI?! I know it would have a costed a lot more but it just seems like a cheap cop out by Universal. The ride has been rough, even in the last few years of BTTF as well. Someone else mentioned in the comments that it's probably because the ride vehicles haven't been that well maintained over it's lifespan. You figured with all the ride systems similar to what have with in parks they would have been able to upgrade them by now.

I think it was my first trip, and I was just a smidge too little to ride (and sadly the ride would be closed soon after my visit). That same actor would let me sit in the Delorean they brought around. Being a little sucker I was super excited to sit in it, but by nature, I did not really comprehend how lucky I was. It is still a highlight of my life.
    For bonus points, the Dr. Brown actor pulled a prank on my sister, and blamed her for losing the keys to the Delorean. Im fairly certain he gave them to her then swiped them back while she was focused on me in the car

      What killed the dinosaurs? The ice age!
      Sorry, whenever I think of the chiller I think of all the corny quotes Arnold said in the movie. The Chiller has been added to our list, thank you for the suggestion!

    10:41 reminds me of the big billboard signs all over orlando along with jaws and king Kong. I miss the simple days

      More like Slow and Calm 😂I don't like to bash on Universal but Supercharged looks like a sad excuse for a attraction.

      I really hate to be though. There could have been SO much potential with a Fast and Furious attraction but instead they copied the tram tour? It's a slap in the face.

      Theme Park History I couldn’t agree more and don’t even get me started the ads, in my opinion I think they either should have gone with a ride system like Transformers or just a fun old themed coaster

      Two launch coasters that are "racing" against each other! How does Universal make an attraction about fast cars and racing and not do this?
