AWESOME.

That pretty much made my decision in that we are definitely going up to Universal when we do Disney in May next year.

Does anyone know what the height restriction is? The photo looked like maybe it was 40", but I couldn't really tell. Is this a thrill ride as the name would insinuate, or is it just a fun "Simpsonized" name? TIA.

It seems to be kind of (as I understand it, anyways) a retooled version of the original Back to the Future ride that was there before.

The restriction is 40 inches tall . . . between 40-48 inches have to be accompanied by an adult.
