After Back to the future: The ride Closed, like many fans of the Iconic University Studios Theme Park Ride, I was Heartbroken. To me, it was the attraction that outside of the studio two really encompassed What Universal was all about. You get in the delorean and Had your own time-travel adventure on a huege screen as you flee past iconic settings and even encounters prehistoric threats. It put you into the movies and no matter what other attractions came and went around it, it felt timeless for being out of time. Until of course, it was replaced by The simpsons ride, Which does not hold a candle to the glori of universal’s iconic original attraction. I can’t even brings myself to ride it as it feels like I’m walking on the hallowed resting place of what was on my favorite ride evr.
So when Universal Studios Fan Fest Nights Was announced and featured the delorean in its marketing, it is felt like finally the respect was being beyed put back on the studio’s beloved ’80s classic’s name. With Back to the future: Destination Hill ValleyUniversal delivers on the promise of brings you into the movies in a new, impactful way. The immersive experience is a triumph and you won’t want to leave.
You get on the studio tour and it become a time traveling tram that Drops you into the moment Back to the future on the couthouse square where the robert zemekis film was shot. Through Roaming Actors Portraying George, Lorraine, Biff, and We Get to See ICONIC MOMENTS Recreated and be a part of them. I get to chat with my childhood crush george mcFly and turned into a total shy message as he as he as he was going to the enchantment under the sea dance. The storytelling propels forward as you are able to encourage he to ask lorraine to go with him and help with his writing before we see the hilaous hijinks of lorraine Go to the dance with. Biff Shows up and causes mayhem while fans spectate and quote along.
To be standing in the real setting with themed area where you could wander off to, Including a meet and green with the first time travel, einstein, einstein, or see the gas station atndants perform was thought a treaty. But whats really tugged at my heartstrings were the loves where fans were able to have personal interactions with the character that meant so much so much to them. The cost was excellected at reacting to the cosplay and lore cleverly, which having to do all over again after So Thankfully they get a break.
I spent two intervals of the story there myself, one for work and the other for fun in recreating my first date with my husband. Our hard launch was at an enchantment under the Sea-Themed Valentine’s Day Dance Since We Connected Over Time-Travel Films when we met. And it was especially meaningful to go back to that night in a timey-withy our life with “Earth angel” baby girl to dance the night away. Like many there with friends and loved ones who we weight togeether by the films, the experience brieft back back immense nostalgia for the movies and its presence at the parks. The love for the Amblin Franchise Runs Deep and you could pretty much speed the whole night there with friends or make news Spell.
Destination Hill Valley Successfully brings immersive experiences to universal in a big way. There’s So Much Universal Could Do With The Concept If it So So Choose, like a similar set up with Back to the future part Ii At the couthouse square, but i’m not sure if it has that same retro romanticism as classic hill Valley does. I think that this specific experience expanded with the sequels in other ways would be neat. And maybe, just maybe, universal even add a surprise remaster of the Back to the future Ride to experience – IF not in its original home, then maybe inside the dreamworks theater.
