Simpsons themed environment opens at Universal Orlando Resort @universalORL
POSTED 12 Sep 2013 . BY Chris Dodd
The new environment will feature a new Kang & Kodos ride
The world’s first Simpsons themed environment is now open at Universal Orlando Resort, giving visitors the chance to experience an expansive range of Simpsons-related attractions and eateries.

Based around an existing central attraction, The Simpsons Ride, the Springfield expansion includes iconic eateries and knick-knack features from the animated hit series.

The newly-themed area houses restaurants that give people the chance to eat a genuine clown-endorsed meal, as well as the opportunity to try out a Homer-sized helping of doughnuts from the iconic Lard Lad.

Visitors will also be able to drink at Moe’s Tavern, or visit the Duff Brewery where they can taste a real Duff Beer brewed exclusively for Universal Orlando Resort.

“When creating Springfield, we wanted to make guests truly feel like they’re part of the record-breaking animated show,” said Mark Woodbury, President at Universal Creative.

“Now fans can become part of The Simpsons family and step inside the same places Homer and his family visit on a regular basis.”

The area will also be home to new walk-around characters Krusty the Clown and Sideshow Bob and a new Kang & Kodos attraction.
