It's not something we could ever ride, as it's way too rough for us, so I'll be interested to see what they replace it with.

I've never rode it because I don't like those types of rides. DH rode it once and found it very rough. It'll be interesting to see what they replace it with.

BTTF will be replaced with "Law & Order: The Ride!"

No seriously, my money is on a Simpsons ride simulator.

I think a Simpsons attraction would be pretty cool. Too bad for Back to the Future.

Thanks for the official word!

I'm with you, Michelle. I'm glad I got the chance to ride it, but I won't miss it at all. I had to ride it every time we went because one of the kids usually wanted to ride, but yippie! a new ride is coming!
