It's official now:

I'm sure a few people will be there the last day to watch it close. The replacement still hasn't been officially announced.

 

[damo]

Hmmm. Hope they announce the replacement soon.

Let the rumors fly. Its supposed to be announced on the 30th. And its going everywhere from Simpsons, to Fast and Furious, to even Back to the Future...yeah....a revamp.
WAIT....Ellen is going to be there on the 30th, right? MAYBE, SHE'S GOING TO ANNOUNCE IT? After all, it would be a huge sendoff. She did just host the OSCARS.

Glad I'll get to ride it one more time. I always felt it was unfairly maligned.

 

[the Dark Marauder]

I'm glad I went in Feb, then.

*needs to contact select BTTF Lab Assistants*

I'll be there next week to bid our friend Biff a fond farewell.

Although it gave me whiplash on occassion, it is still a classic ride that I will miss.

 

[Planogirl]

I wonder if they'll continue to sell stuff from it for a while? I'd like to get a few things.

 

[Slacking]

Good Riddance.

The whiplash was part of the charm!

This is a big mistake. What could they put in there that would be as good or as fitting with that part of the park? The simpsons is a great show but i just can't see it translating into a ride that would not be just for kids. The fast and the furious is a terrible set of movies. This is a sad day for me

 

[anthony2k7]

does anyone know if they have done any more work on the other half of the ride?

 

[DrewAlmighty]

About time. I'm not going to miss it. It's a good ride and everything, but it started getting way too rough and dizzying.

 

[mayerobeyer]

Screamscape's got a nice rumor about the characters still remaining a part of Universal in some way shape or form.

 

[goNDmay9]

I am going to miss it too. It is one of those rides that need to be replaced, but still... I do remember liking it YEARS ago when we first rode it. (way b4 IOA) I love the movies, but I have to agree with you all. I am sad, but i think it is time. Last summer we rode it b/c we knew it would be the last. All of us can do simulation - but for some reason that jerkiness really got to us this last visit. I really hope we like the replacement.

 

[F-L-A]

Still think it should have been updated rather than removed. Universal can't afford to lose a major attraction based on one of it's own films in order to replace it with crap like The Simpsons.

I can't believe this! I am going to Disney with my boyfriend in June, and we were spending a day at Universal as BTTF is his all time favorite movie! He's never been on the ride and now he is devistated!
