Hello, McFly, your ride's over

The Back to the Future ride is heading into the past.
The Universal Studios Hollywood ride based on the movies with Canadian actor Michael J. Fox and Christopher Lloyd was taking its final passengers yesterday
It's closing to make room for a new Simpsons attraction.
Back to the Future – The Ride was the theme park's first high-tech thrill ride. It opened in 1993.
For their trip, passengers were strapped into a carriage modelled after the film's DeLorean time machine to ride in front of a film projected on a domed screen, which gave the illusion of flight.
The new Simpsons ride is scheduled to debut next year.

WHAT?!

That was the greatest ride of all time. I can't remember exactly how many times we rode it, but I believe it was somewhere around 10? That is depressing. I was looking forward to doing this 10 years after the last time, but doing it belligerently drunk.

When I'm rich, I'm going to have this ride recreated in my home.
