The big issue with BTTF is that they go to the future in 2015....2 years ago.
That makes the story a huge no no from the get go.
How long will The Simpsons Ride last?

That’s not a problem. If Disney could update Star Tours with new segments, there’s no reason why Universal can’t do the same for BTTF. Have the setting be in 2115. Christopher Lloyd and Tom Wilson are still alive (the former still plays Doc at every opportunity), maybe they can finally bring in Michael J. Fox if he is able to do it, and they can make up a new story. Hell, it can even be an improvement. Get an IMAX 70mm camera, create some new models, and boom. All that is still more cost-effective than what they did with The Simpsons and the animation is already outdated there.
BTTF is still some of the most beloved films Universal has ever produced. The general public still love the films and the fans 30 years ago are showing them to their kids for a new generation of fans. The Simpsons aren’t as big as they once were, if the reviews and ratings are any indication.

1) lol Simpsons dead IP
2) Stop with Epcot
When Simpsons goes so does the WHOLE BUILDING. It's more likely we get a new Simpsons attraction where the existing ride is than it reverting back to BTTF or another layover.

Hey all, lets keep this discussion about The Simpsons ride. I'm spinning off Hello Kitty talk into a new thread.
Since this is a point of discussion lately - we wrote a thing:
Let’s Talk about the Simpsons Rights at Universal Parks | Inside Universal

Great article. I hope I never hear someone say that Uni can trade Marvel for Simpsons ever again.

There's only two IPs owned by them, one of which isn't even seen by people as a Disney property.

Doesn’t matter what people think or see. It’s a Disney IP. Also, it was a joke.

Not going to happen, but Rick and Morty would be a fun replacement. They could pay for the costs alone with Szechuan sauce.
Oh, and an ice cream store that has chocolate "flies."

What if they traded their Marvel IP to Disney for rights in perpetuity to the Simpson's IP? That way they could redo Marvel Superhero Island which desperately needs redone because Hulk and Spiderman are falling apart. And, of course, they get to keep the Simpsons.
And the side benefit would be that Disney World could create a Marvel area so immersive we would think we're actually in the movies. It's so amazing of an idea I can't believe it hasn't happened yet!
... There ya go.

I agree With this, no reason to do anything until after the 2028 season, If anything happens after that It would be time. Now that every opening day attraction is now gone from hollywood, its going to be easier to replace springfield as it would be 13 years old by then. I really don't know what would be able to replace it though. It just unfortunate that springfield works so well as a is right now, it will be sad to see it go.
