- This is a mid project video showing some progression and some methods used to enhance the ride film further. BTTF the ride is being restored slowly from several low quality sources like dvd's and vhs tapes. This shows work on the Trex encounters

And to think that all of this effort needs to be done, simply because universal wont release this footage themselves. You are an absolute saint for taking the effort to do this. May the Back to the Future ride live on!
As a huge Back to the Future fan and a current team member for the Simpsons Ride at Universal Orlando, thank you for this. All of this. It is because of you that I am able to watch BTTF The Ride in such amazing quality while I do my ride throughs for the Simpsons Ride. I'll be asking around with techs and old heads/Simpsons veterans that have been around since BTTF was a ride to see if I can pinpoint where those original 70mm films went, and if they would be obtainable to get for you. Keep up the amazing work, I promise it does not go unnoticed.
hey do you got an email/facebook where i can contact you and ask a few things? it would be greatly appreciated.
@@Themaxleydog Sure thing. Don't know how I'll get it to you seeing as RUclips has deleted my past 3 comments with the information to contact me lol
@@Themaxleydog I figured out a way. Just visit my channel and you'll find my email in the about section
@@colbya2015 I sent an email , be sure to check spam folder , thanks
Past operations team member here. I may not be at your venue, but like themaxleydog, I'm a huge nerd for this stuff as well and made a few friends from tech myself. Would like to contact through email as well if that's alright
Just letting you know we're all out here still hoping you pick up the pieces of this and gift us the restoration this piece of history deserves.
I love how you used the music from back to the future 3's ending. It adds so much to the video, honestly. really gives off the vibes that something big was lost, and is being brought back in one way or another. It gives off so much hope that the ride footage can be restored and i love it.
well the only reason i use it is because it's one of the few calm/less distracting tacks from bttf. the rest make it hard to concentrate on the video itself.
It's very sad that Universal doesn't take the time and effort to just transfer the full 70mm frame, in fact, it made no sense to just crop the image like that for the DVD. Thank you so much for your efforts. The ride lives on through your accomplishments
actually, it somewhat makes sense. They cropped the footage simply because they wanted it to fit on mostly 4:3 TVS.
@@aaronprewitt344 Not necessarily. The 70mm film negative is open matte, meaning what they did was hard matte the footage. The 70mm footage fit into a VHS transfer, which was displayed on a 4:3 screen uncropped. Cropping it for 16:9 on the DVD was to make fit onto a widescreen television
@@ZetaReticuli1. i see. Thanks!
@@aaronprewitt344 No problem. Recall that this video restoration would not be possible for the bootleg VHS transfers which had the uncropped footage. I think the other bootleg this was recorded on from RUclips might have been deleted, so I'm so happy for this project
You are doing all of us BTTF fans a great service with this work! Cheers!
Here are some audio links I've found of just the music, just the dialogue with the sound effects, and then both together
ruclips.net/video/m0PX0ie6PME/видео.html Both Together
ruclips.net/video/RSAxKrBYCD0/видео.html Dialog with sound effects (mainly the monitor footage on the car)
ruclips.net/video/OKHsuAvGBlE/видео.html Music (ruclips.net/video/VK4WTJcYzqM/видео.html This one is the one released by Alan Silvestri)
Edit: I will try to find more footage that could hopefully help, even though I know these may not help that much
Unfortunately I already do have all these audio tracks separated out. Even more unfortunate that the ride had a ton of channels of audio for the real ride but now they've all just been combined lol. luckly what we have audio wise is pretty good all things considered but even still.
Thank you for all the effort. I live in the Netherlands and unfortunately the BTTF was already replaced in 2011 when I went to my first and only visit(thus far) to Universal Orlando. This wil become the only way to see footage of this legendary attraction. You're work is greatly appreciated. Thank you again!
This is incredible work! Given the years you've put into this, and still working on it!
Hey man, did you hear? BTTF:TR was brought back in an official Universal Studios Minecraft DLC.
You're a freaking legend! Keep up the great work dude, I'm always excited to see your progress and it's always amazing!
you've done an incredible thing here. bttf fans salute you!!!
Brilliant - what you are doing is excellent. I enjoy learning about the techniques involved in an much I will seeing the final result.
This is basically a "Frankenstein's Monster" of fan made theme park restorations.
That's a good way to describe it.
Hey how is this going? Any new progress?
Thats rad. This ride was a mandatory ride. Was sad to see it go.
Did you ever complete version 3?
This might sound like a sore subject to ask (some or most might criticize me with this question but...) with the advance of Generative AI/ AI enhancing, do you think maybe AI could do more to restore the ride footage?
I could imagine OpenAI's SORA AI filling in the missing gaps or fixing missing details. Who knows?
Great stuff buddy. Keep up the great work!! 👏 🙌🙌
This is awesome! Can't believe you had to rebuild the textures!
This is awesome! Keep up the great work!
Someone named HOLLYWOOD TOYZ uploaded the monitor video in pretty good quality.
Wow it came out great!
Excellent work!
I'm very impressed with your work on restoring this ride experience. I was lucky enough to get to go on it in 2005 when I went with some family to Florida. I was curious though if you had though about preserving the original 24 fps of the ride rather than interpolating it?
The interpolation in your last versions is honestly quite distracting because it's very obvious that was not the original frame rate. I just watched your other video on the ice age scene and it looks so much better at the original 24 fps there. The interpolated version ends up with mostly smeared frames which starts to destroy the work you've put in to increase the clarity.
It would be good for those who'd like to see it in the original frame rate to be able to experience it as well as those who like the interpolation. I know there will be a lot of folks who like the frame rate kept original.
these are only edited in 24fps with interpolation added as a last step. if someone wants a 24fps version they can just ask. even the previous version has a 24fps version
Hey, just curious on how or if any of the Jurassic park builds are doing?
long since done with those almost 7 years ago now
how is the project going
I kinda stopped working on it after I ran out of source material for the lava sections. I'm half tempted to just reuse the low quality footage in those sections in the name of just getting it done becuase waiting for the film to resurface isn't ever going to happen.
@@ThemaxleydogThere’s always a chance since the Star Tours film got released last year.
There is also an Imax DVD which includes a small segment of the city scene, I own the disc but I'd have to look for it. Let me know if this is of interest.
I actually just noticed another comment about the rollercoaster DVD. That's likely the same one I have.
This isn't a comment on your work, but i feel the camera movements are so much better for Star tours in comparison to BTTFR, i get it's a different type of experience, and the way the camera/motions are is probably so everyone feels connected, as this was shown more typically like an imax film is shown, just with individual ride vehicles instead of the shared screen and singular vehicle of Star tours. But it feels like you're not seeing enough of the film when viewing it thought something like this, like you're not seeing any of the ground, as if your view is obstructed, idk how to describe it.
keep in mind this film stock is in its raw format and as a result .. "doesn't look correct". Without it being shown on a massive scale surrounding your entire vision it will of course not look correct. Star Tours was a 100% flat widescreen film where the entire stock was matted for a single flat screen , so anything you were supposed to see was localized to a single boxed window in front of a small room of people.
The reason the sky takes up most of the frame in bttf is because your view was localized IRL to the bottom 30% of film in BTTF the ride. This is to allow things to pass over your head. Without it being shown in it's correct format it's never going to look correct.
I wanna ask, how is your JP Explorer doing? I'm actually in the process of saving money for a YJ Wrangler to make into my own JP 22 Jeep Wrangler Staff Vehicle!
i sold it 8 years ago
Thank you for all your work. We appreciate it all for this classic gem. If there’s anyway we can help as a community please let us know.
find the 70mm film
@@Themaxleydog depending on how many theaters they had, there's only a few out there, Star tours (to my knowledge) had 2 simulators per Ride,, so at least 2 ride films per park. with BTTF, i'm not sure how many parks it was at, if it was at both florida and hollywood, i know it was at USJP. so i'd say 1 film per park
@@ViewpointProd it was at all three parks , each park having 2 theaters , with 1 film as a master copy per park. So that's 9 films minimum at any given point.
Can you restore the audio that is played in the Jurassic Park ride in Orlando?
what do you mean
Wow!
Found this footage of how the ride works from when the Hollywood version came out. Though it looked interesting so I put it here for those who wanna view it:m.ruclips.net/video/icACIAuLI5U/видео.html
Also great work on restoring this scene with very little resources!
Hey, a friend of mine found 480p clips of the city section of the reel on a DVD about rollercoasters, its really cool, would you like to see them?
sure i can take a look and see if it's something useable
@@Themaxleydog Here you : drive.google.com/file/d/1N4IQULh_j-oOaKeCOnSI0D7a9ESnvEtS/view
Its near the end. let me know what you think.
@@kartmakerbrosu1053 thats pretty cool , is it a dvd you have or just a video youve found? a better capture of it would be quite useful
@@Themaxleydog Its a DVD Titled: "The Science of Fun: Thrill Ride". I don't have it, a friend of mine does, though. Since its a DVD, the video can't exactly get better since its locked at 720x480.
@@kartmakerbrosu1053 well the file you have hosted is extremely low bitrate even for standard def video and is very compressed. If a better capture was done it could result is retaining much more quality.
Only 139 views? Universal should be kissing your ass to have your footage included on their bonus features if they can't be bothered doing it themselves.
well tbh they could just scan the real deal again in which case mine would not be even close to comparable.
Where’s version 3.0
I kinda stopped working on it after I ran out of source material for the lava sections. It's kinda a waiting game now to see if there's any material then ends up turning up that's helpful. I usually work on this when I have free time as well and am not getting paid or anything to do it.
Hay
What are those links?
I loved this! Do you have Discord? I want to ask you some questions about this project!
i do but you can also ask here
