Blast From The Past Coming To Universal Studios?

Back To The Future: The Ride has been gone from Universal Studios Hollywood since September of 2007, making room for The Simpsons Ride. However, the classic film might be returning to the park for it's 30th anniversary next year!

Sadly, the 3D motion simulator movie ride won't be back, but a new attraction might become quite the encounter! The new Back to the Future ride would be an encounter on the new nighttime version of the very popular Studio Tour and sources are saying that there would be a recreation of the climactic scene when Marty returns in the DeLorean time machine...at the very spot the scene was filmed!!!!!

Since the TV show that has been filming at Courthouse Square is wrapping production, Universal is free to recreate the original Back to the Future set. So far, the plan is that Universal would transform Courthouse Square back to it's faux-1955 look and would serve as a drive by attraction during the day!

However, at night, things get really cool. The tram cars would stop at Courthouse Square for a four minute, pyro, lighting, sound effect stunt show that would put Doc Brown on the top of the clock tower. Eventually, Marty McFly's DeLorean will speed past and blast back to the future!

Universal has staged its Studio Tour encounters (Earthquake, Jaws, King Kong) on purpose built sets to separate the actual production facilities on the backlot itself. Typically, most shows are filmed in sound stages, but productions have filmed on encounter sets, specifically Earthquake!


How cool would this be? I'm all for it and I so can't wait to visit it!!
