It can go and I won't be sad.

the work is already in progress.

Its a done deal. A new attraction will move into the spot next summer, and the ride is now scheduled to close two days before Thanksgiving. One half of the ride is already closed, and the other half isnt running all the time. Employees are on a week to week basis, and are spending a lot of time at other attractions. The ride is in disrepair and the cost of repairing it is much greater than the cost of closing it. This is for the better. It would be different if they were talking about closing a ride like JAWS (again) since there is nothing wrong with it, but age....and age has nothing to do with a rides popularity, compare Jungle Cruise to Stitch....which one is more popular?

Goodbye and good riddance BTTF.

 

[JohnnySharp2]

I think they should get rid, haven't ridden it for many years.

 

[LauraWV]

So, is it official now? It's closing 2 days before Thanksgiving? I've been checking here all the time to see if it's closed yet, because we're going from Wednesday-Saturday, Thanksgiving week. Guess we'll miss it, unless they decide to let it stay open even longer. That sucks. I haven't been on it for years, because it makes me sick, but if by some miracle it happens to be still open when I go, I'll have to ride it one last time. The rest of my family loves it as much as we love Jaws. It's a classic. It'll be cool to see something new go in though.

I was just on it this past Sunday, and man, was it rough! I can handle almost any coaster and have never had a ride give me a headache the way it did Sunday. But I will still miss it, it's time has come.

 

[mark&sue]

I had read that it had closed down in September and had told all my party of 9 that came with us from the UK that it was no longer open. I looked really stupid last week looking at the long line of people waiting to go on it!

We won't be sad to see it go. Thought it was great when first went on it in 1992 but would not go on it now as it is so bumpy.

They can close it as far as Im concerned as well, plus the identical ride is still open at USH and USJ

 

[Jorge]

I'll be there at early december, and I'm really sad 'cause I'll never ride it again

Am I the only one who likes this ride?! It's tied (with MIB) as my favourite in USF. Yeah it's bumpy, but I think that's part of what makes me like it. I haven't been on it since May of last year, so I don't know how much worse it's gotten since then.

I was really depressed when I found out it was closing because I know I won't get to ride it again. I've been hoping that they'll keep it open until the new year so I can get a chance to ride it one last time, but I have a feeling it's going to go really soon.

To me the park won't be the same without it. I just hope they don't stick The Simpsons in its place (I'm hoping they can find a way to get a Harry Potter ride, but we all know how unlikely that is).

Rowling is negotiating Potter rights with Disney.

Rowling is negotiating Potter rights with Disney.

That was a rumor but I thought it had been since denied by Rowling herself

<~~~HUGE BTTF fan. Loved the movies, loved riding it since it opened, loved working there.

 

[JohnnySharp2]

Whilst I voted for the ride to be closed, I would be just as happy if they did a makeover job on BTTF, I love the movies and used to like the ride too.
Fact is though it is way too bumpy for me these days and the last time I rode it I fell ill, didn't help that I banged my head on the ride - I was sat at the back.

 

[Jason71]

Rode BTTF again yesterday, for what will probably be the last time. Still too bumpy (was in the back seat, nearly gave me a concussion), and the film is now so murky that you could barely see anything. While I still appreciate the level of detail in the pre-show rooms, it's time to put this one out of its misery.

 

[JohnnySharp2]

Riding in the back is not a pleasant experience.

 

[lg3]

How disappointing - I was too late to vote, but would have definitely voted to SAVE IT! It is the best thing going - LOVED the ride. Yes, it was a bit too bumpy, but couldn't they work that out? I don't know if it is even worth it IMO to go to Universal anymore now.

 

[Nellas Elensar]

If it weren't for the fact that I felt physically sick the last time I rode it (in 2005), I would have said to keep BTTF. But it is time for it to leave.
