Back To The Future DeLorean Time Machine || Universal Studios Florida

In the three Back to the Future movies, the DMC DeLorean was the car used to make the time machine. Time travel was possible seeing the car was fitted with a Flux capacitor, fed 1.21 gigawatts of power and reached the all important speed of 88mph.

The Back to the Future ride at Universal Orlando opened in May of 1991 at a cost of a whopping $40M. The motion simulator ride had a good run that ended in 2007 after years of declining rider numbers. It was replaced by a Simpsons themed ride and area later the next year in 2008.

Paying homage the movies and ride, Universal proudly displays a DMC DeLorean just outside of Simpsons land where the Back to the Future ride once resided.

This was quite a treat to see for me and my fiance as we grew up in the 80s and remember the movies well. We're just sad we never got to ride the ride.
