Are you telling me that you actually work with the people who decided it would be a good idea to remove their most iconic ride rather than just upgrading it, whilst leaving Twister, Men In Black, and Earthquake still in place?! Give them a slap for me will you please...
Men In Black? Sorry, I disagree there. MIB is still awesome (needs a little love though) and with MIB3 being released soon, this ride isn't going anywhere.
Ok guys, Back to the Future is my favourite film of all time. I think we should leave the ride.. in the past. I wasn't even born when the first film was released, and some people my age haven't even heard of the film, let alone seen it (my boyfriend included

). The film doesn't have the pulling power anymore. Yes, people over a certain age LOVE this film but it doesn't have a large enough interest. Universal's marketing has always been out keeping it fresh, and modern. Why would they revive an 80's movie trilogy? I know Disney have done it with older trilogies, with Star Tours, but the following that Star Wars has is no where near comparable to Back to the Future's.
All that aside, I would be in heaven if they did a new ride. In fact, I can't wait to head over to Japan (Or is it Singapore?) one day and hopefully re-visit the Institute. A lot of the time, these rumors are posted by hopefuls. Or I've seen some posts that claim the Doc has told them at the parks. Come on guys, what would a costumed character know?! He's just trying to stay in character and be hopeful.
All that said, I am truly baffled why BTTF went before Twister. However, Universal execs must've had their reasons for removing BTTF first.
