Its sadd that it is closing, but it had a good run. It does need to be replaced ala kong, but the simpsons? I could think of a much better replacement than that.
Honestly, I'm thrilled. While I loved the movie, cars, etc in BTTF, I didn't know you could get beat up while riding a simulator until I rode that thing...OUCH!
That's a shame, I think the BTTF trilogy is classic, but like many say it is out-dated and had a good run, just with I could have rode it lol. Also a shame they are replacing it with something else thats out-dated. Not a fan of the simpsons and most I know say it's getting old/ tired by now. A major simpsons ride/ attraction seems like it would have fit more into the 90s. I guess with the movie coming out it might seem appropriate, but I think they could do much better. *** Edited 7/24/2006 10:31:50 PM UTC by P18***
Oh, I see. Sorry for the simple questions, I really had heard nothing about it until this post. (and I call myself a fan :) )
Here's how sick I am. We're currently looking at next year for a big Orlando vacation and I'd seriously consider pushing it back to late summer (as opposed to early summer) to catch this ride.

Heh, right?
Definite Simpsons fan, definite fan of rides/parks. The idea of missing something that fits my interests on so many levels by a mere month or so is potentially heartbreaking - especially knowing this will be the last trip to Orlando for many years.
I fully plan on keeping an ear open for confirmation and a timeline on this whole thing and if BTTF truly gets replaces by a Simpsons attraction and the whole thing has a time frame mirroring the movie release (July 27, 2007) then as it comes time to nail down the specifics of the trip over the winter, I will certainly look into a late July trip as opposed to a mid-June one.
I think the ride is outdated and was boring (although the movies were great) however I do agree that there could be something much better than the simpsons. Although there are stil many fans of it, it does seem like somehting that will soon be outdated. I don't think they are looking far enough down the road.
Personally, I love just about everything about the BTTF universe... except riding BTTF:TR. I love that it exists and that it offers a little bit more story in the BTTF universe, but it's a horrible, awful, just plain bad ride.
I haven't visited USH since 2000, but I enjoyed BTTF that time and on prior trips as well.
I thought it was a fine sim; the first time I rode it, I couldn't get enough. Just power-rode it till the park closed. Well, as much as one can "power ride" it, considering you have to go through the pre-show set-up.
