long lines.

Facts/History
The set for the ride uses 300 speakers, 20 laser disc players and 50
miles of electrical wire.
The ride's film is projected onto two 80-foot tall OMNIMAX® projection
screens.
Twenty-four specially built flight simulators in the shape of DeLoreans were installed to blast through time at record speed.
Liquid nitrogen fog surrounds each car, giving the feeling of traveling through space.
Elaborate, hand-designed and painted miniatures were created exclusively to shoot the film portion of the attraction, which took two years to make and cost as much as a feature film.
Reviews
"I am a big fan of DeLoreans and back to the future
is my favourite movie, the ride I thought: the queue was to long but
it did add on to the exitment. On the elevators I loved the unique toutch
of having a hover board in the viewing case in the wall. On some rides
I can get pritty scared but this ride is my best ride in the whole park.
The story was great and having an extra DeLorean that Biff steals. The
only thing I thought could have happened, was that the ride could have
been longer but I would say that...All in all the ride took my breath
away!!!" (11/02) Troy Knight |
