[@ComputerGeek1100]

@@lexramstudios1386 I believe the ride material was sadly filmed when Michael was first battling Parkinson’s but hadn’t gone public yet.

[@1977TA]

@@ComputerGeek1100 Michael J. Fox was still active in Hollywood during the time this footage was filmed. He was able to hide his Parkinson's symptoms and continued working for a number of years until the disease progressed to a level that made concealing the tremors and involuntary body movements difficult to mask. Basically, Parkinson's did not impact his career until he was forced to come forward in 1998 and reveal he had it. The ride footage was filmed shortly after production on BTTF prt 3 was finished which is why the town square back lot was still dressed to be future Hill Valley. According to the BTTF ride wikipedia article Fox was asked to reprise his role as Marty McFly which would have featured him working with Doc Brown as his assistant. Fox declined. This however is an unconfirmed claim. It is likely he was unavailable due to working on either Doc Hollywood or The Hard way, both films he starred in after BTTF prt 3.

[@thejunkman]

The thing that can't be replicated, well very easily at home, is the motion control ride part. While motion control rides had existed before, this was on another scale. The immersiveness of the entire experience really sold the visuals. I rode this months after it opened in 1991. I remember riding BTTF & Star Tours at DisneyLand in this same vacation, and while that was good as well, it was not like this. This felt real, while Star Tours, you knew it was pure fantasy and just a story you were being walked through. BTTF the events felt like it could exist in reality. The only way to "break" the immersivness is if you purposely moved your head to look up and behind you, then you could see all the other 24 (?) ride cars moving around. Also the queue line really played a big part, not only with the video seen here, but the props and decorations. The long wait kept you entertained plenty along the way.

I’m 43 today, having grown up throughout the 80’s and 90’s. The Back to the Future trilogy has long been one of my absolute favorite series of movies. Definitely in my top 10-15. It was even one of a handful of movies that led me to get my degree in film and video production and choose it as a career. But this ride was always one of my absolute favorites of all time. I’ve lived in the Orlando area now for 25 years, and for nearly 20 of those I used to have a Universal annual pass. I can remember both the first time I rode this ride in the 90’s, as well as when it closed. I understand that tastes change, and a whole lot of kids today might not be very into BTTF. Although now with a lot of retro interest they may be again. But I still wish the ride was around. The Simpsons ride retrofit was just…stupid and awful. I’ve never disliked the Simpsons. In fact I was super into it throughout the 90’s. But just the same I don’t think it needs its own ride. At least not one in the shell of a purpose built building for the BTTF ride. I wish BTTF The Ride could be brought back. And it could with relative ease. Just replace a few facades, props, and paint and you’re all set. I’m sure there’s slightly more to it than that, but I still wish it. Can’t tell you how many times I was on this ride in its lifetime, but it was easily dozens and dozens. If not hundreds.

Thank you for this, these kinds of archival process are definitely a way to preserve a part of history, and a lot of childhoods. I remember going on this ride a ton in the 90s, ah, when Universal had a FL resident and kids discount for something like 30 bucks or less

[@mechamania]

This is “remastered,” not “preserved,” here. All the footage is included in the 30th and 35th Anniversary Collections’ extras, although on in in SD, on Blu-Ray.

[@carn9507]

This was great. I never got to go to Universal or Disneyland or anything like that in my whole life and so missed out on these sorts of things and I love BttF and this was so fun to watch footage of Doc and Biff from that era I hadn't seen before. Awesome. Thanks for everyone who restored this as best as it could be for all of us here on the youtubes. :)

27:27 the cup 😁👍- thank you SO much for your work with this, many of us never had the opportunity to see it in person, this is amazing 😁👍

[@blankenheimrobert]

I vividly remember almost tearing up while riding this for the first time in the 90’s just because I was so happy. This video brought me back to that day.

[@brantub]

Wooow 🤩 this is such a treat for real BTTF fans - thank you! Also Thomas F. Wilson's performance at 18:30 in that SINGLE TAKE is so good!!

[@zuitsuit80]

This is great! I haven’t seen the BTTF ride video in years. The sad thing is is that by the time the ride was getting old, the line wasn’t long enough to actually watch the queue video because you could walk straight to the vehicles. Also I remember the videos weren’t loud enough to overcome the crowd noise so we missed most of the story.

[@miroslavzima8856]

That ride quality is so crisp and fluent! Oh god, I would surely enjoy the feedback during it. Say, you DID use time machine to obtain this from the past, didn´t you! :D

Good memories. I remember Back to the Future: The Ride. When I was a child, I went with my aunt and my sister. It was amazing.

[@rylar717]

I remember the BTTF Ride very well as I rode it once. I remember leaning over and seeing the other Deloreans watching the same screen video as what I was watching so there were like 5 or so ride sessions going at the same time. Thank You Perifractic for this time traveling treat as it was very nostalgic for me.

[@zanderwohl]

My dad worked on the ridefilm. I've got photos of him wiring up some of the DeLorean models. I'll have to send him this video.

[@Methus3lah]

I’m so glad that many of the Back to the Future actors know how special it is, and continued to be a part of it for decades.

Douglas Trumbull was an innovator in the theme park industry, especially with works on other IMAX Ridefilm productions such as "In search of the obelisk" and "fun house express" at the Luxor and Circus-Circus's adventuredome in Las Vegas among other creations in theme parks around the world. Thanks for sharing this piece of Universal history and as Doc Brown would say: See you in the future!

[@GabePlaysYT]

Oh my gosh!! thank you so much for sharing!! :D I'm a 90's kid and have really fond memories of the BTTF ride, T2 ride, Jaws, King Kong, Twister!, and all the other retro ride. My favorite memory was actually seeing Christopher Lloyd himself in his full Doc Brown outfit talking to kids waiting in line! thank you so much for sharing!

[@supermegabenji1026]

Fun fact: In the Simpsons Ride, Doc Brown made a Cameo about selling the BTTF Ride to Krusty the Clown Just to Joke about How Universal Changed BTTF to the Simpsons Ride.

[@theincomingdude]

one of my earliest memories is this ride and how it seemed so real to me at 4 years old

[@falksweden]

Amazing work! This was a Simpson ride i truly enjoyed! :) Thank's for sharing it!

[@RetroRecipes]

I see what you did there!

[@mistapushy]

Thank you for posting this, It feels like I am standing in this line for the 100th time paying attention to every detail. This was my favorite movie as a kid, with jaws and twister- Universal studios was a yearly thing for my bday and it was so amazing so experience this so many times. The ai really enhanced things and helped the video quality. *great scott* !

[@GHickling]

That was epic, I have a BTTF shrine in my house and i've never seen that before! Your content is fantastic and just seems to get better and better!

[@RetroRecipes]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@jimmyray914]

Be on the look out for the new Hot Wheels Back to the Future DeLorean with ice all over it monster truck.

[@AnthonyDark]

This is my favourite ride of all time. I feel so lucky I got to experience it several times as a kid. Moreso because I live in England. It's a testament to my old man's hard work that I got to have holidays like that.

[@JamesHalfHorse]

That is awesome. Got to see if there is a behind the scenes of the tech that made it the ride itself. I was at Universal once for a thing and regret I only managed dinner there and didn't sneak away to a few of the rides. Amazing job on the video.

[@darrylbrownstone2553]

I didnt realize how much I needed to see this again. Really very specific memories flooded my mind standing in line with my family when I was younger. thank you for that

[@davidb.6681]

I lost it when Biff said: "Asta la bye bye"

[@t.h.382]

Hello there, many thanks for posting this!!! We also were so lucky, to experience this ride back in the '90s! Awesome! I couldn't remember much of it, somehow only the sequences where we flew through the illuminated signs. Great to see this again!!!

[@gianniclaud]

So fortunate I grew up with this, they did such a disservice replacing it with the Simpsons.

[@nickvanta]

Thank you so much for this amazing upload! As a big BTTF I am very pleased to see things I have never seen before!

[@blenderbachcgi]

As Doc Brown said, "Remember the future is what you make it!"

[@StrifeCL]

25:25 there is the microphone at the top left hahaha

[@PaulStryker]

I was there in 1993, when I was 11yo. Didn't know its importance to the franchise til now. Thank you!!!!

[@HOTD108_]

Artificially interpolating the footage to 60fps seems counter intuitive to what you're trying to achieve. Movies aren't video games, and unlike the latter, increasing the frame rate only makes the picture appear cheaper and more artificial.

[@Romainnut]

One of the few memories I can remember now from a trip to Florida 30y ago... Thank you !
