| Back to the Future?? I heard that this ride is closed or closing very soon. Can anyone who's been there recently confirm? My brother had a meltdown when I told him the news and he wants me to find out for certain. Thanks!

| The future of BTTF is really up in the air right now - nobody seems to know for sure. In December it was open, but only one side was being operated. The rumor mill said that it was being closed last October to be revamped as a Simpsons ride. It's been speculated that there were some problems with that, so it hasn't been completely closed yet. Latest reports from Home state that the attraction was open as of late January, but that it wasn't listed on park maps. You can read more about it at screamscape: Universal Studios Florida When we first rode this several years ago, we loved it. But the last few times it seemed very jerky and bumpy. Last year when I got off I made a vow that I would never get back on it again! I don't know if the ride has gotten worse and needs some maintenance or if I have gotten old! I don't think it's the latter as my 3 kids agreed with me.

| yeah, it's open, although as you've read, it was supposed to have been closed months ago. they're having some contractual issues with getting the simpsosn thing going. officially, there is no replacement, but once word got out that the simpsons was being planned, reportedly a major player decided to 'ask' for a lot more money than the park's willing to offer.

| I rode it a few years ago and it was way to bumpy for me. Not on my list of things to do again.

| There is something swirling around the internet to say that something may happen this June. Wether that means an announcement or what, I have no idea. But the top cheese at Universal Orlando said they have been looking to change it out but can't talk about what that might be.
