Just been informed to day that the "Back to the future" ride will close at the end of this summer and be replaced with a new attraction favorites so far a new "Transformers" ride or "The Simpsons".
Must admit this ride is well past its sell by date especially with all the new technology, but i'll still miss my ride in that Delorian (sp)

Oh my god - a Simpsons ride. My son would probably wet himself if he knew this was a possibilty.
I must say that when we went on the BTTF ride it wasn't a patch on some of the newer ones. It seemd very jerky and dated.
And what with all this extra money they are making on the fast pass system they have plenty to spend on something new.

Back to the future has been there for years so it's good that they are thinking of something newer. Simpsons is popular with all age groups, so I am sure the new ride will be a big hit!!

Here's hoping that if they do a Simpsons ride they have the characters to go with it. A picture with Homer would look good in the album.

This ride is old and its about time it was replaced, although we love it and will miss it. It's good that they keep updating the rides, otherwise guests would not keep going back.

We went on the this ride in May and perhaps they should rename it back to the 80's. The ride has been around for many years now and is very dated. It was a good ride in its time but technology has moved on and perhaps it is about time to say goodbye.

I'll be honest and say that this ride was the only one we avoided-the movement was jerky and on the occasions we went on it we came of feeling battered-a bit extreme I know -but it's no great loss-will they keep the car on display outside though?

I hated this ride as well, very jerky, and my motion sickness left me a bit battered. Glad they will be replacing it, but I do hope they put a totally different ride in now, and not like Disney did with Stich ride and just rename it from Alien Attack to stich and left everything the same

Have always felt sick after this ride, avoided it last time and let my son go on his own, so a noew ride for me would be good. Its the simulator rides that make me feel sick so I wonder waht it will be?

My youngest would love to see a Simpsons ride in its place, we joke he could go on Mastermind with his specialist subject being "The Simpsons". For Christmas his Aunt bought him a "So you think you know the Simpsons" quiz book and he knew 99% of the answers.

What ever will end up there its gone to be a simulator type ride, Universal are pretty keen to get the Simpson theme on board as they were turned down by Fox ( who own the rights) when they opened IOA as they wanted to dedicate one of the islands to them, but now they have stopped making the TV series and a film is to be releashed next year so a Simpson ride would tie in nice, talk was it is going to be something to do with Otto's schoolbus

Just recieved some news its definatly going to be the Simpsons but everyone is still keeping their cards close to their chests

I can't say that I am going to miss it very much.

Every time I came off it my head would be thumping from where it got bashed against the inside of the car (when you sit at the back)

Hope they make the next simulator ride a but smoother

It's one of my faves, especially the bit when you go down the dinosaur's throat!

The reaction in my house was similar to when I announced King Kong was going (although we all love the Mummy which replaced King Kong) - deep horror and shock. We love new rides - but enjoy all the old favourites too.

I know it's only a simulator - but it makes me feel sick!

Still sad to see it go though.
