Go To


1	* CultClassic: The ride is easily one of the most beloved and missed of all the retro Ride/UniversalStudios attractions.
2	* FanonDiscontinuity: As much as ''BTTF'' fans love this ride, many of them don't consider it canon due to its inconsistencies with the films. This gets a [[FandomNod nod]] in [[ComicBook/BackToTheFuture the IDW comic]], where Doc is less than impressed with the idea of using a fleet of time machines to grab future tech.
3	* GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff: The ride appeared to be quite popular with guests at Universal Studios Japan; always having long lines even in its later years, and its final day of operation attracted [[https://youtu.be/wWRagbF1NFk?t=41s many loyal fans]].
4	* HarsherInHindsight: The ride gets a plug on the VHS special ''The Secrets of the ''Back to the Future'' Trilogy'', when host Kirk Cameron says that even though Universal won't make a fourth ''BTTF'', the series "will live on" through the ride. Considering the ride no longer exists in any Universal park, one could conclude the series has essentially died.
5	* HilariousInHindsight:
6	** Doc's bronzing gun today recalls to mind ''Series/Warehouse13''.
7	** The "Doc on the March" short film features newsreel footage of Doc Brown with numerous historical figures. Three years later, [[Film/ForrestGump another Robert Zemeckis-directed film]] would feature something just like that.
8	** Just before Biff takes off with the [=DeLorean=], he gives Doc a taunting "Hasta la [[{{Malaproper}} bye-bye]]!" Five years later, Universal Studios released ''Ride/Terminator23DBattleAcrossTime'', whose series was responsible for making that particular phrase[[note]]In its correct form, "Hasta la vista"[[/note]] popular, and which ''also'' featured time travel.
9	* SpecialEffectsFailure:
10	** The T-Rex not only doesn't look like any T-Rex that existed, but is clearly a stiff animatronic puppet. [[NightmareFuel Though that didn’t stop it from being terrifying watching it on an IMAX screen]].
11	** Some of the miniatures are also obviously fake, like the sequence in 2015 and the rocks during the above-mentioned T-Rex scene.
12	** Shortly before the riders crash into the clock tower at the end of the 2015 sequence, a '''styrofoam coffee cup''' that one of the crew members left on the miniature set can be spotted to the right of the building.
