I don't know how they plan to pull that off though. I'm hoping for another use of the musion effect or something like that which they did with Disaster. There's not enough info being released yet though.
    What does musion effect refer to?

        You know when you are in the queue for Autopia. There are those weird chevron ad's. Think of something like that.

          Hopefully you will discover the Simpsons universe in a positive light.

            If the attraction delivers, I will say so here, but that is not going to make me fall in love with the Simpsons nor start to watch their show on TV.

              I will say that Universal really proved me wrong. I thought the ride would basically be a Blue building with a big sign saying "SIMPSONS RIDE" on it. But they actually themed it! It's awesome seeing something like this happen. While more could have been done, it's definitely better than I expected. And can you believe their not even finished with the outside? It's going to look really garish and tacky, which in my book, fits the entire theme. Bravo Universal. Now about the Curious George Goes To Town wannabe....

                    Ride? It's just a playground (which Universal needs.)

                        I was never impressed with Back to the Future : the ride. I always like Star Tours better.

                        But this new ride looks interesting. Disco Stu does not advertise

                          Don't worry, i'm just unhappy he replaced the Nickelodeon area I never got to see. This little renovation is kinda obvious how on the fly it is, since they could have done way better instead of taking down the Nick stuff and slapping a few coats of paint on it.

                              The new facade has started coming up this morning in Hollywood. The Faux Rollercoaster was installed this morning.

                                Here is Hollywoods progress as of this sunday.





                                Florida's Facade is pretty much complete and looks GREAT in my opinion.

                                      Oh and by the way, does anyone know the progress of the Lucy A Tribute building, are they doing anything with it, I heard they were gonna make another museum.

                                          If you've been paying attention, the Lucy A Tribute building closed forever like 2 months ago and there have been rumors speculating it will be museum dedicated to hollywood big films.
