Universal Orlando creates Simpsons’ Springfield

Springfield Comes to Universal Orlando this Summer

The secret is out – all the building work that has been going on at Universal Orlando Resort is for TV’s favourite family The Simpsons! Their hometown Springfield will come to life around the mega-attraction The Simpsons Ride and will look like the image above.

It will be the only place in the world where guests can walk the streets of Springfield and will include places and foods from the show and characters Krusty the Clown and Sideshow Bob will make their debut. And, there will be Duff Beer, brewed exclusively for Universal Orlando!

Fans can stroll down Fast Food Boulevard and visit the places that helped Springfield stake its claim as “Shelbyville by the Sea”. They will be able to grab a Krusty-certified meat sandwich at Krusty Burger, snatch the catch of the day at the Frying Dutchman, get a slice at Luigi’s Pizza, go nuts for donuts at Lard Lad, enjoy a “Taco Fresho” with Bumblebee Man and drink at Moe’s Tavern.

The new attraction – called Kang & Kodos’ Twirl ‘n’ Hurl – will take “foolish humans” on an intergalactic spin designed to send them into orbit.

“This will be a must-see experience for Simpsons fans all over the world,” said Mark Woodbury, President of Universal Creative. “For the first time ever, they’re going to be able to enter a world that they’ve only seen on television – and we’re really excited to bring that world to life.”
