The Funtastic World of Hanna-Barbera Universal Studios Florida FULL PRE-SHOW & RIDE 2017

In recognition of the 15th anniversary of the closing of The Funtastic World of Hanna-Barbera attraction at Universal Studios Florida (which will take place this October), I present to you this tribute featuring the complete pre-show and ride portions. Enjoy!

When this ride visited the Mall of America as “Yogi’s Big Rescue,” I went on it. Had no idea it was a former attraction at Universal Studios Orlando, and that after it was shut down in 2002, that it would begin popping up in theme parks all over North America. I was thankful I got to experience this attraction unofficially when I knew it as “Yogi’s Big Rescue.”

Picture this: A VR game where you can somewhat experience closed rides from amusement parks as best as possible, maybe with a more specialized machine at arcades or the parks themselves to account for the 4D. (Hanna Barbera, Jimmy Neutron, back to the future, almost limitless possibilities). Hey, a guy can dream can’t he?

[@Dinosaurprince]

This is the Hanna-Barbera I remember. All the characters exist in the same universe and know each other. There was no making fun of Scrappy Doo, or putting down their less popular shows. This ride is sad, because it was released after many of their main voice actors had past, or were retired. This really was the end of the Hanna-Barbera era. Warners has done nothing to keep this cartoon stars shining even a fraction as bight as they once did.

[@Angie2343]

[@SonicJrandSarah]

I remember going on this ride. It's a good thing there are these videos of the ride. Too bad it doesn't feel like a ride now. I think this was the first time I ever saw Dick Dastardly and Muttley, but I didn't know as much about them as I do know. I rediscovered them on KZbin about a decade ago in the form of a parody series someone was doing. Although the casting for that parody had some of the characters be out of character so I was a bit surprised when I saw the original show and met the real Dastardly and Muttley for the first time since this ride. I was surprised my family knew about them when I mentioned them one time in a car ride. They were also surprised that I knew about them, too. It's great that to this date, Dastardly and Muttley are still remembered not only on the internet, but in real life, too.

[@ScoobyDoolover99]

That’s like me too! I remember watching the video of this ride back in 2011 not knowing who Dick Dastardly and Muttley were. Then in 2013 I found out who they were! I love Dastardly so much!! To me, he’s a bad guy with a good, loving heart! He’s sweet, kind, caring, handsome, hot, dashing, debonair, despicable, dishonest, devious, devilish, and of course dastardly!

[@PeterGriffin11]

It's a shame Tom and Jerry wasn't included in this ride or even mentioned Tom and Jerry is where it all started with Hanna-Barbara I belive they lost their rights to the characters to MGM and now Warner bros owns Hanna Barbara.

[@MuppetCore]

Arnold Shortman Tom and Jerry were MGM characters who happened to be created by Bill Hanna and Joe Barbera. When MGM shut down their cartoon studio in 1957, Bill and Joe went on to found the Hanna-Barbera studio. It’s just coincidence that both the MGM library and H-B ended up under the corporate roof, first at Turner and then eventually Time Warner.
