Back to the Future: The Ride and the Simpsons Ride
That is a video of Back to the Future The Ride Experience Part 4. Back to the Future is now closed in Florida and Hollywood. Japan's still open.
This is a video of the Simpsons Ride, now open at Universal Studios Florida, and Universal Studios Hollywood.
Springfield's Ghost House History
Springfield's Ghost House:
It all began with a swing attraction named the Whomping Willow. This ride experienced a lot of technical difficulties, so it closed down to make room for Springfield's Ghost House. Originally it was called A Western Ghost Town, until it was revealed to belong to Springfield. So they named it Springfield's Ghost House. There were also haunted house music, and ghostly trees. To terrify the riders they also put a pop-up coffin there.
Closure:
On August 2, 2008, the haunted house music was removed from the attraction. Many guests thought it was refurbishment, but it was for preparing for a rumored closure. By August 4, 2008, there were rumors of this attraction and a neighboring attraction (Krusty's Ferris Wheel) closing to make room for a major attraction. On August 8, 2008, the attraction would be a wooden mine cart coaster. By that day, there were rumors of Krusty's Ferris Wheel moving and Springfield's Ghost House being part of the wooden mine cart coaster. By August 9, 2008, the attraction was named Journey to Mt. Krustyland and construction walls have been built by Krusty's Ferris Wheel, and Springfield's Ghost House. On August 10, 2008, Krusty's Ferris Wheel closed and was moved to the right of the entrance to the theme park. It has been announced on August 13, 2008 that Springfield's Ghost House will close and be part of Journey to Mt. Krustyland as Old Springfield. On August 16, 2008, a celebration called "Hurry Back... Before it Really is a Ghost House" begins, due to the closure of Springfield's Ghost House. On August 17, 2008, Springfield's Ghost House closes.
Demolition:
Demolition began with the ghostly trees removed and sent to the Universal New York Storage. Then the pop-up coffin was removed, also sent to the Universal New York Storage. Third, the queue lines, castle walls, and exit path were removed. Finally, the tracks and vehicles were removed and sent to the Universal New York Storage. Journey to Mt. Krustyland will open either September 2008, or October 2008.

The Day After Tomorrow - The Ride
The attraction opening with Universal Studios Massachusetts known as The Day After Tomorrow - The Ride will be a presentation like Twister, Earthquake, Disaster, and Backdraft.
Queue: The queue line will feature some props from Day After Tomorrow and some pictures of the New York flood scene of the movie, including the Statue of Liberty with waves behind it.
Pre-Show: The Pre-Show will be in a room modeled after the main room of the New York Public Library where the TV monitors will feature stars Dennis Quaid, Jake Gyllenhaal, and Emmy Rossum. They will explain how Day After Tomorrow was filmed and the pre-show ends with Dennis Quaid telling the guests "Now it's time for you to live the Day After Tomorrow." The riders then enter a room which is modeled after the New York Public Library exterior. In the movie, the flood came raging through and the citizens took shelter in the NYPL and this room is a replica of that scene.
Ride: The presentation begins when a taxi drives by and a radio says "There's a wall of water coming towards New York City, everybody take shelter!" 3 ft. water covered the streets of New York. Then you see lightning in the background and another foot of water came. Then you notice a wave (the wall of water the radio said). Fire then appears as lightning strikes a street lamp causing the lights above the riders to turn off. It slowly heads for the riders and then as the flood reaches the riders, the floor where the riders are standing lurches with a sudden drop, giving them one last scare.
Gift Shop: The Day After Tomorrow - The Store. This store sells Day After Tomorrow Videos/DVDs, a video/DVD of the ride featuring you, and some shirts saying "I Have Experienced the Day After Tomorrow and I lived!"
P.S.: This ride is very similar to other disaster rides at Universal Studios, but this ride is mostly similar to Twister in USF (Universal Studios Florida) and in the upcoming USS (Universal Studios Singapore).
P.S.S.: Universal Studios New York is to feature 4 disaster rides. Three have already been announced: Earthquake, Disaster, and the Day After Tomorrow. The 4th one hasn't been announced yet, but most fans hope for it to be Backdraft.

Kraven
Kraven the Hunter is rumored to star alongside the Lizard in Spider-Man 4. I think Brendan Fraser will be perfect to play Kraven. This is how he looks like:
So here's my villain cast:
Jim Carrey-Cletus Kasady/Carnage
Dylan Baker-Curt Connors/Lizard
Daniel Craig-Jason Macendale/Hobgoblin
Bruce Campbell-Eddie Brock Sr./Anti-Venom
Brendan Fraser-Sergei Kravinoff/Kraven
