The Simpsons RideSimulator rideMinimum height to ride: 40 inches Last edited by S P To the enter the queue, guests must walk through a giant Krusty head. In the queue, guests wait under various circus tents themed to carnival stalls and are shown various advertisements for the attractions at Krustyland. Once guests enter the pre-show room, they are introduced to the rides at the park by Krusty himself, before being ushered into the pre-flight boarding room themed to a small circus booth, where they are picked alongside the Simpson Family to be the first to ride the most extreme ride at the park. Guests then watch a safety video starring Itchy and Scratchy of The Itchy and Scratchy Show. Shortly after boarding Krusty-themed dark ride cars, guests are lifted 10 feet into the air rather than going through the dark ride doors in front of them, and take place in a wild chase through all of Krustyland and its attractions, and eventually part of Springfield. The ride features 29 regular characters from The Simpsons and features the voices of Dan Castellaneta, Julie Kavner, Nancy Cartwright, Yeardley Smith, Hank Azaria, Pamela Hayden, Russi Taylor and Kelsey Grammer. In an homage to the Back to the Future ride that it replaced, The Simpsons Ride features a brief animated cameo from Doc Brown. [Update this description | Read previous versions] Photos:

Reader reviews of The Simpsons Ride
8/10! it is a great and thrilling ride that shoulde be rode atleast once just to add to the expirience, it is very similar to the back to the furute ride and shouldn't of really been taken away just because of the classicness but all in all a great ride which should be rode just to know what i am taliking about its full of twists aND TURNS and is full of simpsons humor and funness - Rob Chandler Great ride. unless they put you in one of the cars on the far corners of the screen, and then you can see the other cars as well as the back on the theater and it kind of takes away from the fun. If your car is in the middle then it's pretty darn good. - Tim Taylor I rode BTTF such a long time ago that I don't remember much and it is hard to compare, although I really loved it at the time. I was impressed by both the ride and the pre show even though I'm not a Simpsons Fan. The theme park story is fun, the scale of the viewing screen is very impressive and although the ride is a bit jerky I can't say it spoilt my experience at all. I would highly recommend this ride. - Emily G preshow is funny and the ride itself is funny but super jerky. dont ride if you have motion sickness - Jen T I was disappointed when BTF would be replaced and I'm not a big fan of the Simpsons either. The ride and graphics are better than BTF. The lines are painstakingly longer though. The ride seems longer as well. Maybe it's just me. Overall it is better in every aspect than BTF. I feel saddened though...I was a loyal fan. Oh well... will be going on it again! - Michelle Gonzalez I was not a big fan of this ride's predesessor, Back To The Future, as the subject matter seemed very dated and the ride itself was viciously jerky. Much of the kinks seemed to have been worked out of the motion and the overall concept is clever and relevant if you are fan of the Simpson's. The graphics are very entertaining...great "re-invention" of this simulator ride. - Christian Baggett I expected more and it offers little more than the previous Back To The Future ride. We went on once and couldn't be bothered to try it again. Disappointed. - Mark Moore It is a fun little simulator, but the preshow is much better than the actual ride. Also this ride just isnt a worthy successor to BTTF like Mummy was to Kong. I miss BTTF, and Simpsons is BTTF with a new paint job, and one or two effects added. If you havent rode it, do it, but if you have , you can skip it. - Chris Shafer One of the best motion simulators ever. Manages to be thrilling, funny and exciting all at once. I was laughing throughout the ride/movie. Really captures the spirit of the Simpsons while spoofing theme and amusement parks in general. A home fun for Universal! - Sylvain Comeau love this ride one of my favorites - tyler bell Solid improvement over Back to the Future. This ride has a built in wait though. You'll likely be waiting 2 or 3 floors up outside in the Florida sun. Seems slow loading as well. Overall the ride itself is Universal Studios' best. - William Clark
