Re: Back to the Future closing!
I'm fine with them closing the ride...if they replace it with an updated BttF ride, but sadly that aint gonna happen. Such a shame such a huge and fun film franchise will lose its place in themeparkdom, perhaps it will wash up on Disney's shores but I highly doubt that. If only

1. You just rereleased the series on DVD like a year ago!!!!!
2. It's a classic film franchise, if the kids don't know, that's just sad.
3. (My ultimate argument when Disney makes this claim) Yeah, and taking it out completely helps that problem! I mean, I didn't know anything about Tom and Huck, but when I read the two stories, I related because of the Frontierland attractions.
It really comes down to my soapbox issue. Kids aren't getting basic knowledge they need, as a result the lack reference for anything more than 5 years old. A sign that the world is officially going to pot. Almost literally.
sorry, this is making me mad. I was hoping to go before this happened.My mind won't rest
and I don't sleep

Another argument to make: they still have the Waterworld: A Sea War Stunt Spectacular... do they expect kids to know this movie? People actually want to see the movie after watching the show...
Another argument: Universal doesn't merchandise very well.

Re: Back to the Future closing!
To be fair, my wife of 24 had no idea what BTTF (the movies) was until like 4 months ago when I re-re-re-bought the DVD set (for $44!, WTF is up with that!?).. she never wanted to go on the rides on either coast, because I mentioned the dinosaur scene, well, let's just say after riding JP...yeah, she didn't go on it.

Re: Back to the Future closing!
I met my wife at the employee party for BTTF in 1993 and we went this past weekend to see it in its final week. Very sad to see it go."And yes, we implore EVERYBODY to follow the park rules. Having off-ride footage is great, but any still photo's or video's taken ON the coasters at SFMM are strictly against the rules. They are there for your (and everybody's) safety." "Six Flags doesn't allow ANY loose articles on their coasters, and they don't allow video taping on their coasters. " BUT, "​ This is not true. Six Flags does not allow ANY On-Ride video or pictures on the rides. The ONLY way is if you get explicit permission from Park Management." ???

Re: Back to the Future closing!
I've always wondered way on the studio guide maps the BTTF description always said "21 million jiggawat adventure". Or something to that extent, instead of "1.21 jiggawatt".

Re: Back to the Future closing!
Those of you who look forward to seeing the simpsons..... haha, dont get to excited....
Back to the Future is not getting a major overhaul into a new attraction.... they are simply just changing the film... and themeing around the area.... and the biggest addition to the ride... misters.. ooohhh ahhhh...
Sorry. but I refuse to ride this new ride what so ever, the motion vehicles are said to remain the same.... just film change. The ride may do good at first, but I give it a year maybe two before it practically has no wait and Universal regrets closing down BTTF.
