Back to the Future: The Ride

[Chris]

I thought you guys would appreciate this , I registered just to show you a movie i made that shows how cropped the home version is compared to the imax (or at least the only video i can find that shows most of the imax)

What an amazing find!  Awesome stuff!

I have also been working with all the available footage i can find to make the ride compatible with multiple monitors , this video shows an early test of what I'm trying to do

...i'm in love with you.. this is perfect, just perfect.

Both videos are fantastic! Thanks!!!

I sincerely hope they eventually release the ride in high definition, or maybe even in 4K when they rerelease BTTF on 4K in the future. I found it insulting that the ride they included on the bluray was CROPPED and also not even in wide screen or HD....

It always astonishes me how many people to this day still try to keep the ride alive. It makes me feel all toasty.

It wasn't called "the greatest ride of all time" for nothing!

tried it again and yet, still happens with the same checksum error.

I've reuploaded a newly created zip file for you and sent the link via pm. Can you check if it works now?

Here's my raw high quality footage that I've recorded in Japan.

I wanted to check this out but the link is expired. Ever think of doing a YouTube channel?

I have a youtube channel but it's dedicated to Terminator.... ;-)

Well, a problem with a lot of filesharing/hosting sites is that they require you to sign up before you can upload a file. I don't like to sign up for something just to quickly upload a file. Therefor I used wetransfer, as this is one of the few hosting sites that doesn't require sign up. If you know another hosting site without sign-up requirement, I can always try to re-upload it there if the links last longer.

Or if you're lucky, Jon makes a youtube from it and you can watch it IU's  youtube channel.

I don't if this applies to Hollywood, but at least this is the case in Orlando.


A lot of people were sad to see the Back To The Future attraction go and being replaced by the Simpsons Ride. Thankfully the USF still has photo ops with the time traveling DeLorean along the train from BTTF III. The new Film Vault store in the park has some terrific BTTF merchandise, and of course there is Doc Brown himself.


However, USF created two funny tributes to the BTTF ride.


The first one is a very well known one. It's in the queue video of the Simpsons Ride where it is explained how Krusty the Clown got control of the Institute of Future Technology from Doc Brown. You can watch that video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I9r2EYy3rxU


However, it doesn't end here. That particular story continues. USF gave the  walk around Doc Brown character a cool looking bicycle to make his way around the park in. When he stops for meet ‘n’ greets, you can get a closer look at this bike and one of the props is a clipboard which gives Doc Brown’s plans to get back the Institute of Future Technology.

Now that is awesome theming!!

Just as a side note, the queue video featuring Doc Brown and the Institiute can be found in our ride as well.

Love those notes as a prop!

You've probably seen this already. It was new for me, so perhaps it's still new for someone else here. This is a video of the opening of BTTF at Florida:
