Summary

After Back to the Future: The Ride closed, like many fans of the iconic Universal Studios theme park ride, I was heartbroken. So when Universal Studios Fan Fest Nights was announced and featured the DeLorean in its marketing, it felt like finally respect was being put back on the studio’s beloved ’80s classic’s name. With Back to the Future: Destination Hill Valley, Universal delivers on the promise of bringing you into the movies in a new, impactful way. And maybe, just maybe, Universal could 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. Universal Studios Hollywood’s Fan Fest Nights after-dark event has a few dates left from May 2-4, 9-11, and 15-18.
