What is it?
A resurrection of the now-defunct Universal Studios Back to the Future: The Ride, made for VR!
This is an un-official, fan-made project that not only puts you in the seat of the iconic Delorean, but takes you through the Institute of Future Technology on a personal guided tour.
A Personal Project
to capture a moment in time
“This personal project was launched in 2020 as my mum was suffering the effects of Parkinson’s and during its production she became permanently hospitalized. For a year I sought to get Universal Studios’ support and approval so it can be finished and released and proceeds can be directed towards the MJF Parkinson’s Foundation. Unfortunately, despite having personally freelanced for 8 years with NBC/Universal, and having a producer at NBC championing it who spent 25 years there, it has to date, failed to jump the firewalls that keep this fan-made project from being seen by those who could green light its continued production.
Without anything official on the horizon, I have decided to release this into the wild. If you enjoy the ride, please consider the spirit in which it was intended and make a donation to the Foundation.
It is available below, freely downloadable, so that people can get an idea of what it’s about. I don’t consider it ‘finished’ as there are a lot of animations and elements left on my list, but that were waiting until things were moving in an official capacity.
I have been on the physical ride many times, way back when it was still running (of course), and when experienced in VR, this is, to appropriately describe it, a time machine. You’re just… THERE.”
