Simpsons ride to open at Universal

Thursday, 25 Apr, 2007 0

A Simpsons ride is to be developed at Universal’s theme parks in Orlando and Hollywood.

The ride, due to open in Spring 2008, will feature Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa and Maggie Simpson and will rocket guests on a “hysterical, almost unimaginable adventure” through Springfield.

Universal’s creative team is collaborating with The Simpsons creator and executive producer Matt Groening and executive producer James L. Brooks to create the attraction.

It will feature the show’s classic humour and many of its instantly recognizable characters – all voiced by the original actors.

“The ride is designed to duplicate the Simpsons home-viewing experience, only at high speed and with lots of screaming,” said Groening.

“I am particularly thrilled since, like most people, I’m forever looking for a way to cut the line at Universal Theme Parks,” added Brooks.
