Universal Studios Hollywood closes Back To The Future The Ride

Monday was a sad day for many Back to The Future Fans as the Universal Studios Hollywood ride “Back to the Future – The Ride” closed forever to visitors at 8:00pm. 🙁

It’s a real shame to see Hollywood’s “Back to the Future – The Ride” close forever just like it did at Universal Studios Florida, luckily there’s no plans yet to close the last Back to The Future Ride at Universal Studios Japan, though I bet that won’t last forever either.

Replacing “Back to the Future – The Ride” at both Universal Studios Hollywood and Universal Studios Florida will be a Simpsons Ride, which  involves a simulator ride similar to the Back to the Future – The Ride. It will use 80 foot screens to give the rider a virtual-reality trip through a cartoon theme park called “Krusty Land.” Sideshow Bob will be a part of the ride though it’s not mentioned how.

While I’m a big fan of Back to the Future, I’m not sure how sad I am to see the ride go. Last time I was on it in Florida, I remember being bumped and jarred around so much that I thought I was going to lose my teeth!

It may have been a fun ride the first time, but it got a little painful after that.
