The Simpsons Ride

The Simpsons Ride is a motion simulator ride at Universal Studios Florida. It opened on May 15th, 2008 replacing Back to the Future: The Ride. It is located in the Springfield area of the park.

Experience
Guests enter the fictional theme park Krustyland to wait for the park's brand new ride. Queue videos play many popular clips the TV show.

Once inside, it is revealed that the Simpson family gets to be the first people to ride Krustyland's latest attraction, and they are allowed to choose one group of guests to join them. Bart then picks the guests. It is also revealed that Sideshow Bob has escaped from prison and is looking for revenge on the Simpsons.

One final pre-ride video shows Sideshow Bob has taken control of the entire park and is attempting to kill the Simpsons as well as the riders. After a safety video starring Itchy & Scratchy, guests enter the room where they board ride vehicles that simulate motion while 80 foot IMAX screens show the ride video.

Trivia
-Many references to Back to the Future: The Ride is made on the attraction. A queue video shows Professor Frink jumping into a DeLorean to go back in time and save Doc Brown's Institute of Future Technology. However in doing so, Frink runs over and kills the banker about to loan Brown the money to save the institute. Doc is then forced to sell to that "mercanary clown" (Krusty). A scene in the ride where a giant Maggie (mutated from radiation) puts the riders in her mouth is an homage to the Back to the Future scene where a T-Rex temporarily swallows the riders.

-While most of the show's actors reprised their roles, Harry Shearer did not. Meaning characters he voiced such as Mr. Burns, Ned Flanders, Smithers and Principal Skinner do not have speaking roles on the ride.

-Another version of the ride is located at Universal Studios Hollywood.
