It's very hard to tell just how tall it is from those images. Wouldn't surprise me if the scale of the coasters was exaggerated to make them stand out in the concept art.

If it is BTTF and they went for the 88mph speed for authenticity, there’s no way that spike can be anything higher than 250ish ft. Yes it’s tall, but not the giga the YouTubers are claiming!

So Universal have seemingly filed a trade mark for Back To The Future to be used in the UK including for theme park purposes.

The crazy bastards are going to do it aren’t they?

Resurrect a 40 year old beloved franchise with no reboots or remakes.

Could make a great jukebox ride.
 
And to think I thought the closest I'd get to a back to the future ride was the frankly amazing We're Back, Kids From The Future ride at Movieland Italy.

dark universe is essentially this, and people like it (as far as I can see, although I am trying to avoid a lot of the full revies) as I can definatly see them wanting to revive it

I really like how they are doing this, it appears to have a good amount of UK IP with some US (Back to the future, LOTR, etc) this could be really good getting a taste of america without doing what disney did with DLP (although I think they did it in france, and the UK is probably more accepting to US culture)

Stick a fountain on top, Jobs a goodun

I'm leaning more to LOTR being a future expansion with hopefully something Nintendo related. Save Potter and Dark Universe for a second gate

your probably right but I still think it would be a mistake not to include as a replacement to Potter from the get go.

I believe that the Roberts have said many times there will never be a remake, reboot, or sequel of any kind, as long as they are alive. And all respect to them for that. Doesn't mean we can't enjoy what we love though!

I was lucky enough to visit the "Secret Cinema" BTTF in Stratford a decade or so ago. While wandering around "Hill Valley" before the show started, we found the "hidden" 80's bar amongst all the 50's things. There was an actress standing in the corner, wearing 50's attire, playing with a "ball-in-a-cup"....
Me: I can never see one of those without thinking of Family Guy.
Her: What's a "family guy"?
Me: .... I guess you guys aren't ready for that yet. But your kids are gonna love it.

.....
Wish such quick wit could have been recorded. It'll never happen again. ;)
