Back to the Future - The Ride

Thrill Rating: 3 (if you don't get motion sick, 10 if you do).
Height Requirement: 40 inches

Back to the Future - The Ride is based on the popular film series starring Michael J. Fox. The plot is that Biff has broken into Doc Browns lab and stolen the prototype for the eight seater DeLorean time machine. You have to go catch him.

While the ride is similar in some regards to Disney's Body Wars and Star Tours, it is far more intense. The screen that you watch while being jolted about is massive, and these cars can bang you up good. If you are prone to motion sickness, you will NOT enjoy this ride (unless you OD on dramamine). If you are NOT prone to motion sickness, you will quickly find this the best attraction at USF.

Note: Any child who meets the height requirements for the rides but is less than 48 inches must be accompanied by an adult who can assist the child to enter and exit the ride.

A friend described this ride as being a marble in a dishwasher. It is the most aggressive and violent simulators Iâve ever experienced. Be careful if you sit in the back. The motion can get so aggressive that your head may pound on the back of the seat. Try to jockey for a front seat if you can.
