After thrilling more than 61 million visitors over the past 14 years, Universal Studios Hollywood has announced “Back to the Future – The Ride” will make its last voyage on Sept. 3, making way for the new Simpsons thrill ride opening Spring 2008. In order to celebrate the ride’s success and to show fans how much the theme park has appreciated their support, visitors to the theme park will have an opportunity to take the last ride and drive off as the owner of one of the stainless steel 1981 DeLoreans that served as inspiration for Doc Brown’s flux capacitor-equipped time machines. Notable for its futuristic design, stainless steel exterior and top-opening gull-wing doors, fewer than 10,000 DeLorean automobiles were ever built. To learn more about winning the DeLorean and taking the last ride, visit the theme park to register at specially-created “Back to the Future” kiosks or log on to the Web site.
