coasterlova054 Posted March 13, 2007 Posted March 13, 2007 Not cool...that ride is so fun! I think it was getting pretty old though... Quote
PKIVortex Posted March 13, 2007 Posted March 13, 2007 I'm glad I got my chance to ride it last month. But it is old school, so it's understandable they are taking it out, but still sad. 1 Quote
DeLorean Rider Posted March 13, 2007 Posted March 13, 2007 OUCH! that was a shot to the heart. I have a DVD with a huge behind the scenes of that ride, filming for the ride, special effects, building of the vechicles, building of the ride, concept, interaction with C. Lloyd etc. Awesome stuff. I bought the DVD at the last DeLorean convention. 1 Quote

Part 1: The Way I see it if you're going to build a time machine out of a car, why not do it with a little style!? Besides the stainless steel construction allows for the flux dispersal...LOOK OUT! Marty:Its simple all we need is a little plutonium. Doc:I'm sure in 1985 you can buy plutonium at any corner drugstore, but in 1955 its a little harder to find! Doc:Whos president in 1985? Marty:Ronald Regan. DocRONALD REGAN? THE ACTOR?! Part 2: "MArty: Doc what the hell happens to jennifer and I in the future? What do we become a$$holes or something? Doc: No marty, you and jennifer turn out fine, its your kids, something has got to be done about your kids!! Marty: Greys...Sports...Alminac... Part 3: Doc: Well its a very interesting story future boy, but there is only one problem: if the me of the future is now in the past; how could you possibly know about it!? Marty: Because you wrote me this letter!! Doc:Youre not thinking 4th dimensionally. Marty:Yea i have a real problem with that Still I dont think any quote can ever compare to: Doc: 1.21 GIGAWATTS!!! 1.21 gigawatts!! Tom! how am I going to create that kind of power?! It cant be done! Marty: Hey, hey what the hell is a gigawatt. 1 Quote
tubaman Posted March 14, 2007 Posted March 14, 2007 I always wanted to get a Delorean, and put a flux-capacitor in the back seat. Maybe it's just the tuba player in me that makes me want to do that. I know I wouldn't be the first to do so, but I'd still like to. 1 Quote

Personally I play drums. 1 Quote
UncleHenry Posted March 14, 2007 Posted March 14, 2007 So will The Beast get a flux capacitor this year? 1 Quote
tubaman Posted March 14, 2007 Posted March 14, 2007 ^Tuba players are known for wanting to, or doing crazy things. Take the tuba closet at my school for example. We "collect" items for the closet from just about anywhere. Some items include a plastic toy pic, that was found in the hallway, expired license plates (that were aquired legally, from my cousins old car), signs from around the school, an elevator light cover, well, the list goes on and on. But I think it gives you an idea. 1 Quote
tubaman Posted March 14, 2007 Posted March 14, 2007 So will The Beast get a flux capacitor this year? Yea, didn't you hear? Instead of brakes, it will use a reverse flux capacitor. 1 Quote
DeLorean Rider Posted March 14, 2007 Posted March 14, 2007 So will The Beast get a flux capacitor this year? Have you ever read the books "The Beast" and "The Beast II" by R.L. Stine. You better believe that we're going to go back to Firelight Park this Year!!! (For those of you that have not read The Beast by R.L Stine, the idea in the book is that several kids take a ride on The Beast and go back in time to "Firelight Park" the park that was supposidly where Kings Island was before Kings Island. Kinda goofy but an interesting read) 3 Quote
PKIVortex Posted March 14, 2007 Posted March 14, 2007 I read both book many years ago, I actually have both books around here somewhere. Pretty cool to have your home park wrote about, even if it is a fiction book. 1 Quote
flightoffear1996 Posted March 14, 2007 Posted March 14, 2007 Its a real shame that this ride has to go but I am sure Universal is going to put something even more amazing in its place. 1 Quote
The Interpreter Posted March 14, 2007 Author Posted March 14, 2007 Yeah, but will the RIDE be good? Remember, it is NBC Universal running the place now...will it have a Paramount Parks type budget or a Disney type budget? Based on Mummy, I've got High Hopes... Quote
marlfox_21 Posted March 19, 2007 Posted March 19, 2007 This is actually kind of old news. I knew about this change back when I visited the park for Halloween Horror Nights. Quote
PKIVortex Posted March 19, 2007 Posted March 19, 2007 Not really old, we didn't exactly no when the ride would be shut down, so the fact we have a date confirms when it will shut down. 1 Quote
SOB_TOM Posted March 20, 2007 Posted March 20, 2007 Tubaman, Im an ex-tuba player, and I dont have those urges. Now if you will excuse me, the first-stage booster motors just got in, I have to go install them on my rocket ship. 1 Quote
Jasper Posted March 20, 2007 Posted March 20, 2007 Oh yes i have read those books in fact i have read the first one a grand total of 30 times. I cant get enough of it. It is so worn out. About the quotes. Part 1-Laurane (Young)-Thats your name isnt it, Calvin Klein? Its written all over your underwear. Marty-Ahhhh no! Laurane-Oh i guess that they call you Cal. Oh man i could go on forever with these things. I watched the trilogy this weekend. It was great. Ok one more. Part 1 Marty-This is heavy. Doc-Weight has nothing to do with it. Maybe we need to start a Top Gun quotes topic too. I could go one forever with that to. 1 Quote
Browntggrr Posted March 29, 2007 Posted March 29, 2007 Just a reminder to hurry up to get plane tickets! http://www.universalorlando.com/usf_attr_bttf.html 1 Quote
oysterman Posted March 29, 2007 Posted March 29, 2007 my dad and I are making a trip to the park for spring break in about a week, too bad it will be gone 1 Quote
Sonofbeast2.0 Posted November 21, 2014 Posted November 21, 2014 I was saddened by the fact they were pulling the plug on the ride. Thought The Simpsons stuff would be terrible, but honestly I like what they did with the area and theming it around The Simpsons TV series! When/if they change it again from Simpsons, I'm sure this process will start all over again. 1 Quote
faeriewench Posted November 21, 2014 Posted November 21, 2014 This thread brings back memories. (in particular the members who posted in here prior to today) 4 Quote
kingsislandfan1972 Posted November 21, 2014 Posted November 21, 2014 The Simpsons are a main reason why I want to go to Universal Studios, that and a lot of my favorite movies are Universal. 2 Quote
purdude86 Posted November 22, 2014 Posted November 22, 2014 YEa I loved the Simpsons ride. Thoguht it was funny and had great parodies for other parks. Can't wait to go back and see the whole area themed to them now. 2 Quote
