How come we're not working for Universal. With all these great suggestions, I think they would litterally do better with our input than that of their own staff. I agree with what you said about Disney Wolfman, but despite the age of their rides, people still go on them in record numbers. Disneyland's retrofit in Pirates, Space Mt, and even It's a small world, among others, seems to have drawn new life into older attractions. As these newer versions of old rides make their way to Magic Kingdom, I think Universal will lose even more of it's initial push into Disney's market. I've always wanted a Disney for adults, and that is the market that Universal seemed to hold until recent choices were made. It's a shame that they seem so directionless, and it really shows in the shift in visitor numbers over the last 5 years. Universal may have wiped out Cypress Gardens, but they don't seem to know how to compete with Disney.

Doh. I'll be there in early October. BTTF was always one of the rides I enjoyed there. I'll miss it.

nice tribute rctdude 2316, but i thought it would have been better as a tribute to the lost ride not the film. although the ride came from the original film idea. it is the ride that is now lost, you can still buy the dvd of the film. as a tribute to the film, very good work...... that aside, when i was in florida in 2005 and queueing for BTTF, i remember standing in a large building waiting to sit in a simulator car and experience the thrill.
i would have thought that a large looking building, housing 8 simulator rides from the game would be a better representation of the ride that is now lost to every1. R.I.P BTTF |

A good tribute would be The Institute Of Future Technology, since that is where the ride is placed
