Back to the Future the Ride - Final Day 2007

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 24 ส.ค. 2024
- In a remastered, long delayed video, we go back to March 30, 2007 in what would be the final day of operation for the Back to the Future attraction at Universal Studios Florida.
Some things to point out are the original location of the locomotive from BTTF3 and Delorean outside the gift shop.
I hope this video does provide a wonderful look back at a very missed attraction among theme park goers.
That’s me directly in front of you, and my late parents who passed in an accident 6 years ago and I’m with my two younger sisters. Another family stumbled across this today and we were totally caught off guard. What a nice memory of just normalcy.
Sorry about your loss
Sorry about your loss
Deeply sorry for your loss. This is indeed, a small world
I'm sorry about your loss they're waiting for you up in Heaven 🙏
The fact that this 2007 footage looks like it was recorded in the 1990s is crazy. I feel old now.
They probably were using the same cameras from the 1990s. HD cameras didn't really become a popular thing until around the late 2000s/Early 2010s with smartphones.
@@TheBigExclusivetrue
me too man
Yeah DV cameras still ran on tape mostly back then and outputted at 480p at best, HD (720p) cameras were very expensive still. I have similar footage from 2005 and it’s not much better than my dad’s footage from 1990 😂
Why do people act like , The 1990s and 2000s are so far from eachother.
They should've kept the ride operational until October 25th, 2015, the day the ride takes place. I went to Universal Studios for the first time in 2010 so unfortunately I never got the chance to ride it.
Damn that seriously sucks that a LOT of people never had the chance to experience the original classic universal studios rides and shows. 😲😩 This was indeed a super fun ride. My family (well more specifically my mother) made it a yearly tradition that me and my sister went every summer before the school year started. And know that I'm a mom I bought my son and I am annual pass so we can go whenever we want now. (Passes to ALL surrounding theme parks actually) just to be sure he doesn't miss out on anything.
But how often do you get to go now?
@@biancacdakitteee7161 I've only been to Universal Studios twice, first time in 2010 and second in 2018. It was the one in Hollywood.
@@FastCarsNoRules220 ooooooh wow, now is that by choice? Or you want to go more often but can't due to "different life situations". Because for me there has been quite a few times where I've wanted to go to Halloween horror nights, but the situation would be either a) I had the time and transportation but not the money, or b) I had the money but no way to get there. (At the time I lived in the next city over from Orlando, I didn't have a car, and not many "friends" who was interested as I am or they was just absolute chicken shit and afraid of haunted attractions. So therefore I missed out. Ive only been to HHN event 2 times in my life, but I went to the park to ride rides and see the shows AAAAALL the time. So is your situation like either of those?
There are so many rides like this one that I wish I had gotten the chance to ride… its crazy how much I can miss something I never had/did. The best part about these videos for me is the walk on/off to see what the whole place really looked like
@@AndrewPLovesMusic oh yes I definitely agree with that last sentence you put there. I enjoy looking at how the old queue line used to be like. And the souvenir shops too. So much good feeling nostalgia there.
My first ride at Universal back in 2000, definitely a favorite. There was no line so our parents let us ride it over and over again.
I mean the Simpsons ride is good but this does seem a little better. I’m sad I never got to ride it.
A little? Lol this is one of the best things to ever exist. The Simpsons don’t hold a candle to it
@@Bloodyknukelzz fr
I got to ride this a couple yrs before they got rid of it and honestly it was badass. I never keep up w/ the Amusment Park changes so I was a bit surprised to find out they got rid of it a couple days ago.
@@Bloodyknukelzz it does actually it's my fav ride you stoopid don't do anything my cuz can hack your acc
Agreed
It amazes me how good Tom Wilson is in this. The way he portrays Biff in the entire franchise just shows how remarkably talented he is. Thank you 🙏🏾 Tom!
I’m sooo sad I never got to go on this!!! 😭😭😭
Me too!! Too bad I was born too late. I absolutely love this movie!!
Me three!
Me to because I was born in 2013
Same
Same, I went to America for the first time in 2009. Missed this ride by 2 years.
I got to ride it spring break in 1996. I was blown away at how cool it was.
Glad the ride kept Alan Silvestri to compose the music here. It’s not the same without him or this ride in general!
I remember absolutely loving this ride as a kid. I really wish they would bring it back! At least it is possible to "ride" it in VR now a days, obviously not the same experience but it's still something :)
It would be cool of for a couple of days they would change the video on the Simpsons Ride to show Back to the Future. Or maybe when they close The Simpsons ride they can bring back Back to the Future, bit that probably won't happen.
I was there working that final day. Enjoyed all my years working at the Institute of Future Technology, we had a great team!. Was there from 2004-closing. I'm pretty sure that's me at the 1:29 mark at Queue Control (splitting queue line up to the different levels). Was cool seeing so many former coworkers in this, great video!
As someone who's a big fan of this ride (so much so that it was typically the first attraction I'd hit up whenever I visited the park back then), its very cool to hear from someone who worked there!
How hectic was it during those last few months of operation with only one dome running and all of the potential closing dates being thrown around?
@@andrews.8691 the last few weeks were pretty busy but surprisingly the months leading up to its closure (post announcement) weren't as busy as most of us expected, even operating with one dome and at times only two levels open.
Fun fact: the holding room door code is still the same with the Simpsons as it was with BTTF. At least it was the last time I tried it a couple years ago, lol.
@@FamousAtticusJS When I went on Simpsons the other day (it was one of the first shows in the left/north dome that morning), they kept the holding rooms unlocked and let us open the doors ourselves without a TM coming over to do the usual "watch your monitor" spiel, it was strange. They weren't doing it to be rude, I just think they may have been understaffed that morning as I saw no more than two employees on the second floor.
@@FamousAtticusJS Whenever the ride went down while at half capacity, would it result in a full shutdown of the attraction? Sorry about the questions, but I really loved this ride lol
@@andrews.8691 Nope. We would just take down that particular dome and continue operations. During the slower seasons we wouldn't ever use the 3rd level at all.
Lemme just make a time machine and go back in time to ride this ride
(Opens Door) Hop in!
We can all think about that at the same time. Only if it were real.
🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Lol
Wish you were there. It was dope. You could flip switches and push buttons as you were riding. It really was the Dopest things ever.
@@EmmettLBrown2015 this Is some serious shit doc
30:10 Who here freaking laughed at the "OH MY GOD I JUST PEED A LITTLE!!!!"😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@Nicolas Animation studios ik,r?
This need to be a meme ! 🤣
PREDICTED KUNG FU PANDA 3
I did
I really hope they actually bring this ride back one day.
Somehow.
Preferably in Orlando, for me.
My ex and I went to Universal in 2010 and I bragged about how amazing this ride was. He was a HUGE fan of Back to the Future. I almost died when I found out the ride was gone. We were both extremely bummed the rest of the day. I wish they’d bring it back.
Growing up in Southern CA, I used to get a season pass to Universal every summer. Little did I know that one day in the summer of 2006, when I was 16 years old, I would ride this ride, and not even know it would be the very last time ever. :'(
At least you got to ride it
the vide says 2007
@@HPFan4Life81 that’s when it was filmed
@@MonkeyDSergio was i talking to you?Read op comment
@@HPFan4Life81 stfu asshole, I was only letting you know you ungrateful asshole!
Thank you so so much for this. I am a scenic artist at UO, and I just started working in the work area which includes Simpsons. I never got to experience BTTF myself, so I had no idea what the queue looked like for that attraction. This video actually shows the EXACT holding room I’m painting in tonight… so glad I got to see some history in this video. Thank you thank you thank you!
If I had a time machine I'd go back to March 30th 2007 and ride this one more time!
yutube is the next best thing to a time machine
THANK YOU SO MUCH GUYS
“See you in the future!” Well here we are! 2020
Right😔
“No photography is permitted during this ride” *continues to record anyways*
its flash photography they are referring to.
@@MrDylan1997-Official yet the sad thing is, I heard that on the Simpsons ride, no photography of any kind PERIOD! And, yet people will still record that ride as Well.
I don't think they would of cared at that point. The ride was closing down anyway
@@MrDeadhead83 Yeah true
@@MrDylan1997-Official oh ok
I remember the first time I went to Universal Studios, I was 5 years old and this was the first ride I love. I love Back to the Future so much, I even imagined myself as Doc or Marty riding the Delorean. I even wanted a Delorean when I was a kid. Seeing this video makes me cry so much, all of the fond and awesome memories of Back to the Future ride will forever be cherished.
I was on that ride with friends who had a day off from their job (disney imagineers) and they humbly admitted that ride was the best ever (don't tell disney I said you that)
as the ultimate disney fan, it was hard for me to leave walt disney world for a whole day at universal but I loved every minute of it, especially THIS ride and E.T. and american graffiti
oh and also the atmosphere around the jaws ride, like it's the 4TH july every day of the year
jurassic park wasn't there yet, let alone harry potter so thank you so much for the lucky ones who share their experiences by posting them on yutube, thanks a million
I pray that that Universal brings back this ride or makes a new building with just one dome for this ride
Meme Stealer same
Will never happen since the ride idea is old
Now that Disney owns the Simpsons, we may see their land gone. Let's hope so.
why did it close down
Francesca’s World it was old and worn out
Ah... so this is what the original ride was, I always knew this was a ride, but I never knew this is what the ride used to be before the Simpsons ride. I’d actually ride this ngl, BTTF was a great movie.
I really hope they remake it somehow for nostalgia reasons.. I love the Back to the Future movies
I’ve been wanting to go on this ride for so long but I wasn’t around to... THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! (Also... anyone else notice during the last sequence before the ride they spelled Delorean with an I?
I only got to ride this once and unfortunately I don't remember much about the ride itself. However, I do remember being blown away as I came off the ride. If only universal would bring this back. It is a timeless ride (no pun intended) and would be enjoyed by all generations.
I LOVE BACK TO THE FUTURE AND IM SAD THAT I NEVER GOT TO GO ON THE RIDE MAN!
It was a sad day. I like your buddy’s EPCOT Center vintage T-shirt. I was able to to ride BTTF the last ride, last day in Hollywood.
I always made sure to do this, the lines were incredibly long, for a short ride, but this was always my favorite thing to do, and something I miss a lot.
30:09
Can somebody hold me back from laughing so hard please
😂😂😂
Such a good movie series. Such a cool ride. Thanks for posting.
I didnt get to visit universal for the first time until 2010 for the opening of the wizarding world of harry potter so i am quite sad i missed getting a chance to ride this as it looks so much fun and back to the future to me is an institution. I cannot believe they closed it.....
This was the best ride at Universal .
the most
I preferred Kong, but it is gone too. Over at Islands the Spiderman rides blows all of them away 😎
@@TitoTimTravels Yea , it was great . I know " Murder She Wrote " wasn't a ride but I really liked it too .
correct!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ride this twice in the same day back in 1990. It was amazing!
4 days before the ride closed I got to ride it. I'm 22 now and they need to bring it back
I was born in 2004 so I never was able to experience the ride. I am glad you were able to upload this watching this is SUPER fascinating
19:04 I have never seen this clip before
Same here.
My first time at Universal was in 2010 and I became a huge BTTF fan in 2020 (I was born in 2000)
I wish I could’ve gone on this ride, cried throughout the whole video, very happy to see the energy of everyone saying goodbye to it
I was super bummed when I found out this existed where Simpsons is now and I wish Universal hadn’t shut it down, considering everything related to the franchise still is a huge success
Hopefully they bring it back someday 😭
Thank you for this video!!! :-)
I’m from Denmark and have visited Universal Studios twice (thus far) Like millions of others, BttF is one of my all-time favorites (if not THE favorite) from my childhood! Like fine wine it’s only gotten better.. with_time (see what I did there?) This video here was amazing to see!
It BAFFLES the crap outta me, that they would ever replace this ride!? I mean, sure, if it wasn’t popular any more or if the movies had fated out of the publics consciousness (lol, as_IF) But these films are as popular as EVER, and they mean more than ever. When I think of Universal, BttF is at the forefront of my mind. WHY remove it from the park? Like, what’s the real logic behind that decision??? The way I see it, there was already so very little CLASSIC stuff left in the park (I believe E.T ride is the only thing remaining of the classic era, at this point?)
Don’t get me wrong, cause I DO very much enjoy the Simpsons ride, but it’s still just an all-out COMPUTER generated ride, whereas the BttF-ride was truly classic “movie-making”, with the entire ride-video utilizing a practically crafted set-piece, in “miniature-form”, of Hill Valley. The work that went into making THAT had no doubt been immense!
BttF feels like the crown-jewel of Universal; their proudest achievement to this very day… And they just SCRAPPED it! Makes ZERO sense to me :-( No wonder it was cloudy and rainy on that last day of operation, cause what a sad day it must’ve been :-(
Anyway, thanks for the documentation of it! Really amazing to see :-)
The flip phones!
Same reaction lmao
They are back!
The box TV's!
God look at all those old phones
If universal studios doesn’t bring back this ride I will scream so loud that everyone in the world will here me
we'll all scream along with you
Idc
You mean like the guy at 30:10? 😂😂
I remember loving this ride and being completely terrified at the same time. I believe the first time I rode it I was 5.
RIP back to the future the ride gone but not forgotten
I rode this in Hollywood back in 96. It was a remarkable exper6fir a small child. Thank you for this footage!
Man this brought back memories. I went on this ride back in the late 90s, I still ha e fond memories of that trip.
So cool that these folks from all parts of the U.S. could come together to enjoy it lmao and Pee themselves a little.
All the people in the world you mean
How does this Video only have 198k views. It really deserves more. I couldn't expierience this ride but this video sure is fantastic, I could just imagine being there!
This was such a cool experience as a kid when I went there , loved this ride and the movies
Loved this ride! It's hilarious hearing that guy through the theater XD Very Firesign
R.i.p 1991-2006 or 2007
2007
This, Terminator 2: 3D. and Jurassic Park are the three main attractions I miss the most from USH. I would give ANYTHING to visit each ride at least once
I mean jurassic world is basically jurassic Park still.
@@dirtydurda111 same ride structure, but the theme is dumbed down and the memorable score is gone. Plus the show building is way different
Bittersweet. 😢 Rode one time and proud to have. What a great ride. Simpsons rocks but this was a classic
What such a good memory !
Omg i feel old I felt like this was in the 90s until I realized it was only 2007
Perfect was looking for this thanks man for great footage
it's crazy to me that i actually still remember going on this ride when i was 4 years old at the time. and it was only a month before it closed in florida in february 2007
I faintly remember riding this ride. Good memories
This ride is amazing, universal must be think in bring back that ride and remove the stupid fast and furious!
2015 was the obvious year when back to the future found a new fandom in a new generation, and now exists as legos, so yes, it's time to bring it back
I miss waiting in line for this ride
Ahhh wow this looks grt fun
..shame it closed down
..please bring this back somewhere maybe uk...I sure would love to ride this!!
30:10 OH MY GOD I JUST PEED A LITTLE!!!
Iconic😂👌🏾
Both rides are better! And Simpsons, but except for Dora 4D.
@@theaubreycoxytpsandunivers7274
Same
This was my all time favorite ride...they even made waiting in line bearable. I couldn’t believe when I heard it was gone. Such a shame, the ride was a real adventure. What the hell were they thinking?
2021
I remember going on this ride, I think the last time I went on this ride before it closed down was either 2005 or 2006 & it was actually quite a fun ride just a shame it got closed down, the only disappointing thing like all theme parks have are the bloody queues. I would love to go back to Florida at some point in the future for a holiday as It's my favourite holiday destination
What a great video and such a great ride I miss it so much great memories thanks for posting such a great video great scots what a ride
I feel honored to be able to have ridden this before they got rid of it.
I remember when I was a kid, finding it kinda strange that the narrator for this ride sounded a lot like Hacker from Cyberchase. But this was decades before I learned that they were played by the same actor.
I miss this ride !!!!
The fact they replaced this ride with "The Simpsons" is a travesty
I really miss that ride I’m so glad 🙂 I get to enjoy it with my old girlfriend Tina a year before it closed for good thanks for shooting this video
I have been on this ride more then 20 years ago and I am glad I did so sad that all goods things come to an end
Wish I rode this ride
Miss back to the future 😉
I was 10 when I rode the ride it took 2 hours to get on the ride.
We have the ride on UHD today. I never experienced this ride in my life. I hope they bring it back one day.
I miss it so much.
This shit brings me back. Rose tinted glasses or not man life has changed so much in the last 20+ years…
I rode this ride at Universal Studios Hollywood at when I was 8 years old. :)
2015 theories from BTTF: Futuristic Cars, futuristic buildings, etc
2015 present: nothing like that, just the same as 2014, and 13, and 12.
24:46 Funny dummies.
Hasta la bye bye is just like hasta la vista.
I bet the whole thing got pretty old pretty fast to anyone who worked there or saw it more than once lol cool that it existed and that the footage was preserved though.
Despite having to share a Delorean with 7 other strangers, this ride was really fun. I miss it. I still have my Delorean keychain from the gift shop, circa 1989. Kids today missed out and I laugh in their general direction. Haha PC Buttheads!
It was surreal to ride as a little kid and i was sad when they replaced it
Back to the 90s
26:32 I like that little note he sung.
Who else is watching this during COVID? Just went to US last week and the ride ques are virtually empty!
How about demolishing the Jimmy Fallon ‘ride’ and bringing this back!
The first time we went to Universal Studios was in the early 2000's. I'm not sure why we didn't go on this ride, but the next time we went was in 2009. Kind of bummed looked like fun 🙁
"see you in the future"... Hello from the year 2023.
Last ride I went on at Universal Studios back in 2003.
Wouldn’t it be great if someone would open up a park full of past rides?
I love this movie the ride was pretty fun too😊
This was my favorite ride at universal studios in orlando Florida and after I went on this ride I would see animal planet live.
30:09
*OH MY GOD I JUST PEED A LITTLE*
Ikrr they should def put it back
But i hope they don't take marvel out, spideys simulator is very cool
No!
Simpsons should be still in Disney+!
No
I went to universal in feb 2007 not knowing the ride was closing glad I got to do this one last time
Only if i had a delorean time machine to travel back to when this was still open i would ride it all the time.
Great scott!
I do have the guide of the rides of Orlando but I am hoping to ride the time machine.
Its been a damn 20 years since i last rode on this. Or maybe longer. But man the only relics are the delorian and the train. But damn would it be a dream to get a new one
MySpace!
Let's go back to 1991 and ride this ride
That's It We're Done
