Video: Back to the Future Ride Holds Final Countdown

Yesterday, Jaunted was invited to attend the final countdown for the Back to the Future Ride at Universal Studios in California. The final countdown? What's that? Well, it turns out the Back to the Future ride is closing on Sept. 3 so if you are headed to Universal Studios before then, you must ride the BTTF ride as you may never again get the chance. Word is they are putting a The Simpsons ride in its place in 2008.
So to commemorate the 14 years of the BTTF ride's existence, Universal held a countdown extravaganza complete with a masse of DeLoreans in the parking lot, a meeting of the real Doc Brown (actor Christopher Lloyd) and a fake Doc Brown, a short speech by the movie's co-creator Bob Gale and of course, the start of the countdown in front of the Hill Valley town clock.
This was by far one of the most awesomest press junkets we have ever been to and that's not because we are crazed BTF fans. No, it's because if you were to use the unintentional comedy rating scale, this junket would be off the chart.
The second more exciting video is after the jump.
