Back to the Future, as we all know, will close March 30th. It seems that it won't be on the high Priority to replace just yet.
Why? Seems they are still trying to confuse everyone over the whole "Simpsons" thing.
Battlestar Galatica is now a definate no-no so all it leaves is the Simpsons Rumour or the new "Back to the Future." Time will tell.
BUT, it seems high on the Priority list is a new ride next door at Islands of Adventure. As mentioned many months ago it has been mentioned to bee by a park employee (Who works within the maintenance dept. in Jurassic Park) that track is already being laid for a new coaster where the Robotic Dinosaur interaction area used to be.
It could be that this ride, if confirmed, may be open later this year, or next spring at the latest.
This would be a much needed addition to IOA as no new ride (With the exception of the Seuss Trolley) nhas been instaled in many years.
Universal, of course, had Revenge of the Mummy installed just 3 years ago.
Watch this space for updates!

Last time I went there, the place wasn't looking all that hot and the ride was showing its age. I'm glad they're going to finally shut it down, but I hope they replace Back to the Future, if they don't reimagine the ride, with something worth putting in its place.
IOA is in desperate need for a new ride though. A rollercoaster...i dont know about that...do they even have the space for something of that magnitude? I dont think they need another water ride, Dudley's and Popeye's both hand out a good soaking. Not to mention they have jurassic park river ride too. I dont what they could put in, but i hope its good.
USF, obviously replacing bttf, most likely with the simpsons. I have seen the yellow painted test strips they are using inside the bttf building, which fortifies the simpsons rumor. They could replace twister, dummest attraction i've been to recently(other than jaws). They can replace jaws too, which breaks down ALL the time. I just hope kicking bttf to the curb doesnt turn around and bite them in the butt, cause i will be laughing my booty off.

A rollercoaster, huh? Personally, I do not think IOA needs another roller coaster at the moment, but it sounds promising. I am assuming this will be indoors. I hope it won't be like Everest, but it would be exciting to see a new dino. Universal can now push the envelope and make the dino better than the Yeti! That would be awesome!
But it sounds like a good idea for IOA. I also want Back to the Future Back (renovated of course). I just don't think Universal should get iid of a classic.
