I remember getting stuck on Kongfrontation when I was really little.


And I really miss Back to the Future!

I gotta say the Simpsons Ride is great, really cute and the line is so well decorated. Its basically the same thing as Back to the Future with a Simpsons movie.

I think Disaster was better as Earthquake! Except of course with the addition of Christopher Walken to the pre-show.

Anyone remember the Wild West Stunt Show?

The original USF lineup
I worked on the rides back when the park first opened, and the lineup was (as best I can remember):

The big 6 rides:
Jaws
ET
Earthquake
King Kong
Back to the Future
Hanna Barbera (always my favorite)

Shows:
Stunt show in the main lagoon (lots of speedboats and explosions)
Horror Make Up
Alfred Hitchcock
Murder, She Wrote
Wild West STunt Show
Animal Actors Theatre

Other stuff:
Nickelodeon Tour
Ghostbusters street show
Blues Brothers street show
Breakdancing street show
Star Trek/USF screen test (put you in a special Star Trek movie or tour video of USF)

The first few months were really tough, because Jaws and Kong were very intermittently operating (I was at jaws), and Back to the Future didn't open til a few months later. I searched last night and found a bunch of pics from back in '90 that I will scan and post tonight.

I absolutely LOVED Back to the Future! I'm sorry it has gone but I'm looking forward to the Simpsons. A close second to BTTF was Hanna Barbera! My kids adore Scooby Doo (DD7 had a massive addiction to it) and they would have loved it. We don't seem to get Jimmy Neutron over here much. Does anyone know which other characters it features now?

Back to the Future all the way!! Me and my dad would line up over and over .... you can still pay a visit to the delorian (set up beside the water front on the side of the park where the Beetlejuice show is) Luckily I was able to get an "outtatime"licsence and a movie poster for him on my last trip there back in April
