Someone thinks a Tesla can go Back to the Future:

Quoted from Trekkie1978:I loved that ride.
I remember when Universal Orlando first opened, the wait was forever to get on the ride.
Back to the future was definitely superior to the Simpsons. However, I think the Simpsons is more entertaining waiting for the ride than Bak to the future was.
Timeless ride like the movies. Should never have been taken down. Update the ride as technology improves.

News from Michael J Fox:
Fox made the statement to Variety as part of a cover story regarding his new documentary film “Still.” He told the outlet that he’s not fanatical. “Do what you want. It’s your movie. I got paid already.” He also didn’t seem to think that rebooting the franchise was a good idea anyway.
“I don’t think it needs to be,” Fox continued. “I think Bob [Robert Zemeckis] and Bob [Gale] have been really smart about that. I don’t think it needs rebooting because are you going to clarify something? You’re going to find a better way to tell the story? I doubt it.”

Quoted from EZ-Rhino:I agree. JJP's recent theme choices are somewhat of a head-scratcher. I also don't quite get all the interest in music pins generally and in this case an Elton John pin? Don't get me wrong the guy is a terrific musician and has had a long and illustrious career but a pin based upon that? Doesn't strike me as ticking most boxes with the pinball crowd (although like any new pin FOMO will drive some to purchase no matter what...) Just my two cents.
I’d rather have an Almost Famous pin and have this included instead:

You don’t need a multi singer VH, I’d bet Wolfgang would agree. Just the original lineup. Besides with all due respect to Sammy he’d have a commercial angle with his businesses so too much red tape.
Quoted from Grantman:That's why it's strange that Universal (owner of BTTF, along with JP and Jaws) would choose to go with a small European company with not much of a track record rather than the biggest pinball maker in the world that they have successfully worked with before. I'll believe a Dutch BTTF when I see it.
Not really since Lebowski is a Universal Pictures license. If you followed the history it was quite an effort for Dutch to get and renew that license.

Quoted from toyotaboy:JJP was able to make the witch on wizard of oz sound completely authentic, and that was years before AI. Tom Wilson is probably the only actor that still sounds like his younger self, Lea Thompson is marginal (she's starting to get a little bit of raspiness from age). Michael J fox's voice is far too affected by parkinsons. Christopher Lloyd's age and forgetfullness with no enthusiasm like he had in the movie that he too wouldn't be good at callouts. You need good voice actors, and possibly some AI to act as a filter.
When I watch the muppets in the later years, I'm not like "Heyyy, that's not frank oz, I'm out!"
AI would solve the age issues. If you've watched the Van Halen Fan Made 1984 Documentary on YouTube the author had so many copyright issues he brilliantly used an AI voice of DLR who read quotes from his autobiography. It was really close to DLR's voice.

Quoted from djsoup:I'm hearing BTTF will have 3 tiers including an unlimited standard edition. If that's true then everyone will have a chance to get one.
One for each movie so you’d have to buy all three!
