The Simpsons Ride reviews
Theme Park Insider readers offer their ratings and reviews for The Simpsons Ride, a simulator ride in World Expo at Universal Studios Florida. (The minimum height to ride is 40 inches.)
Written 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.
Readers' rating:
As The Simpsons are a fellow TV friend of mine, I gotta help them out! This ride is great from beginning to end! Warning: This ride is pretty intense, so take the warnings seriously! 10/10 - Eric Cartman I liked this one a lot more than I thought I was going to. The ride design is excellent. Even though the line was long, I didn't feel it took very long to get through it, with all the clips and the banners on the walls and such that there was to look at. The puzzle of being locked in a room with seven others before the ride added to the odd experience. The IMAX screen, because it wraps around the sides and roof, was so much better than any other IMAX experience I've had. - Lisa K A very fun and hilarious ride! It's full of thrilling moments and jokes, and makes it really feel like your in the world of the Simpsons! - Ben Pope The times I rode this, I got off angry. As simulators go, it's not too great, especially with things like Star Tours. - Skipper Adam This ride puts you in the simpsons world this rides funny its not the best i will make it a 9/10 ride this ride funny comedy the Simpsons - Manny Rodriguez Loved the humor, loved the queue, loved the preshow. Then....the motion sickness kicked in! I had to close my eyes too many times here, and I'm sure I missed more than a few details on the ride. I wish the motion simulation was toned down just a *little* bit- then I'd be able to enjoy this ride more fully! - KJ Simpson I love this ride my favorite Ride at USF 20/10 lovet it's awesome . - Giovanny Cruz An acceptable replacement to the superior BTTF:TR. Fun, wild, chaotic, and thrilling...be sure to check it out if the line is under an hour, otherwise feel free to skip this one since it's nothing that amazing, although it is still great fun. Gotta love the interior queue. 6/10 - Dan Huffman Very fun! It's stupid humor that we've come to expect from The Simpsons. It doesn't quite do justice to Back to the Future, but it's still a must-ride. - Andy Milito Very fun ride! Do not miss! Also, if you get motion sickness, PLEASE DO NOT RIDE! It is very intense! 11/10 - Dominick D First time I've encountered an attraction with a better queue and pre-show than ride. - Man-Eating Sharks I love this one! the 10/10 speaks for itself. Excellent screen too! - D H I was extremely surprised that I liked this ride so much, considering I was a fairly heartbroken from the fact they replaced Back to the Future for it. I love the whole plot and easily get engulfed in it. This is a really great ride, really entertaining, but not a ton of RE-RIDE value. - Grace Davis I'm not a Simpsons fanatic, but the ride was fun! There were a lot of funny parts while we were waiting in line and during the ride. The ride is basically Back To The Future ride, just Simpson's themed instead. Although I did prefer the Back To The Future ride over this, I thought that was pretty good. Caution: If you get motion sickness, have someone preride this for you first or be prepared to close your eyes! 7.5/10 - Bob Liebe More attraction and restaurant ratings:
