Back To The Future The Ride closed in 2007 and there have been leaks & official releases of the queue and ride footage over the years, but never great quality. Using Topaz AI (https://www.topazlabs.com/topaz-video-ai/ref/1748/) & 6 other sources linked below I painstakingly restored, enhanced, & upscaled the incredible Christopher Lloyd & Thomas F Wilson performances of this magical Douglas Trumbull Universal Studios theme park ride, filmed after & on the set of BTTF 2 & 3, which kind of makes it Back To The Future 4. Heavy!
