The Funtastic World of Hanna-Barbera (ride)

The Funtastic World of Hanna-Barbera was a simulator ride at Universal Studios Florida and one of the park's original attractions.

It was the first ride film to predominantly use computer-generated imagery, with the characters created using traditional cel animation techniques and optically composited.

[1] This was the first of three simulator ride attractions to be built inside Soundstage 42 in Universal Studios Florida, followed by Jimmy Neutron's Nicktoon Blast and the current Despicable Me Minion Mayhem (which became part of Minion Land on Illumination Ave), as well as the first motion simulator at Universal Orlando Resort.

The outside queue area, where people waited in line, featured several televisions that showed Hanna-Barbera cartoons on a loop.

In the years after, clips and commercials from Hanna-Barbera's modern cartoons such as SWAT Kats: The Radical Squadron, were played on the monitors interspersed with the classic shows.

The two (live-action) appear on the square screen and begin talking about how they create animated cartoons, leading to Barbera drawing Elroy Jetson, who magically comes to life and jumps out of the paper three-dimensionally.

Dastardly and Muttley soon show up from inside the spaceship's depths, requesting that they be a part of Hanna-Barbera's next project.

In a fit of rage, Dastardly kidnaps Elroy by forcefully pulling him into the computer using the suction of a toilet plunger gun, claiming "If I'm not the star of the next project, then no one will be!

Yogi and the riders chase after Dastardly through the streets, dodging cars, residents of Bedrock (including Wilma Flintstone and Betty Rubble with their kids, Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm.

This time the riders end up going forward into the future in Orbit City, dodging flying cars and buildings.

A lamp comes down from the top, from which Yogi pulls the light switch which makes the screen go black, ending the ride with the attendants congratulating the riders on a job well done for saving Elroy.

Universal wanted the ride film to have a classical animation look, with full feature-quality using the Hanna-Barbera characters.

The ride closed on October 20, 2002, and was replaced by Jimmy Neutron's Nicktoon Blast, featuring Nickelodeon's Jimmy Neutron alongside characters from Rugrats, Hey Arnold!, The Fairly OddParents, SpongeBob SquarePants, and other Nickelodeon cartoons, in spring 2003.
