The Simpsons Ride - Page 2

Moonliner · 04-24-2008, 04:29 AM

I'll be hitting the Florida version on my June trip so I'm avoiding spoilers for the most part, but what's the general consunsus on the attraction: Bad, meh, OK, great?

I'll miss back to the future so I hope it's worth it.

While that was pretty mean since you know I hate clowns, Krusty doesn't bother me. So there.

Early reviews have been pretty positive - one good thing is that many of the ride's jokes are related to theme park going in general, so even people who aren't fond of/don't know the Simpsons are enjoying it.

Excellent.

I was worried the whole late in the game change to Krustyland would have killed the attraction.

What late in the game change to Krustyland?

I read online (so you know it's true) that the original plan was to use a theme based on Mr. Burns factory, the fish cannery I think, but Harry Shearer (aka Mr. Burns) refused to lend his voice to the project and so it was changed to Crustyland.

The Krusty mouth reminds me of the room where I proposed to Heather - it's the Carousel Room of The House On The Rock in Wisconsin. There's a giant clown mouth door leading out of that room. It's the first door we went through as an engaged couple. Ah, memories.

The queue looks awful. Sorry, but I hate the idea that you can paint a bare warehouse with splashy colors, put up some "artwork" of cartoons and call that a themed environment.

Doesn't bode well to me.

Ummm.... The theme IS a really tacky amusement park- you know, kind of like DCA.
