Tag along on The Simpsons’ trip to Krusty the Clown’s fictitious theme park at Universal in Orlando. The Simpsons Ride, a roller-coaster simulator, has original animation, plotlines and jokes from the smash TV series.
The attraction is part thrill ride, part television show. Want to see bare cartoon bottoms, or Barney get knocked out by Sideshow Bob with a day-old churro? This is the place for you.
Greeting guests is a 9.8m Krusty head and then a carnival, where owner of the Kwik-E-Mart, Apu, runs a snack stand. There, you wait in line with Homer, Marge, Bart, Maggie and Lisa as Krusty shills his new “upsy-downsy, spins-aroundsy” ride.
Guests board vehicles that carry eight people and watch a safety short featuring Itchy and Scratchy. But things go awry when Sideshow Bob takes over Krustyland to finally avenge his long-standing grudge with the cartoon family.
It carries more thrills than you might expect out of a ride that doesn’t actually travel anywhere, including what the park calls “the first 360-degree barrel roll ever attempted in a simulator”.
Powering the enormous dome screen are state-of-the-art digital projectors. Emptying your wallet can be quite easy in a real-life Simpsons gift shop built to resemble the Kwik-E-Mart.
