The overall design of Back to the Future: The Ride allows guests to the Institute of Future Technology to fully immerse themselves in the experience, with no barriers to suspension of disbelief.
The preshow video in the queue line sets up the Doc's new invention (the 8-person time vehicle), then reveals that Biff is loose somewhere inside the Institute, and wants to steal the Delorean. What we're unaware of is that there are three identical preshow areas on the 3 floors of the attraction. We're never aware of any other groups as the whole experience is timed very carefully. Once the group before us has started to experience the main film, we're called into the holding room adjacent to the car loading area for the second preshow sequence where Doc reveals our mission to catch Biff in the new remote-controlled 8-person time vehicle. Again, there are multiple preshow rooms like this, one for each car.
