I was at Universal Studios last Saturday night and noticed that despite its rumored demise, the Back To The Future ride is still open. I’ve heard it’s running at half capacity, and that seems to be true since the night I was there the wait was 45 minutes for standby, and 20 minutes with a Express Pass. That’s the first time I’ve seen a time listed for a Fast Pass or Express Pass line.

In today’s Orlando Sentinel they interview Universal’s president, Bill Davis. When asked about the future of the ride, he says, “Back to the Future is up and operating today, as it has been. There is some truth to the fact that we’re looking at changing that out at some point. We can’t really talk about what that might be. But it has been a great attraction for us. We’re very happy with it. We’ll just have to see what the future brings.”
