Simpsons ride open yet?

Is the Simpsons ride open already? If not, does anyone know if it will be open before April 17th??? I can't seem to find the answer on the website (thanks for the link, Barry) but I'd LOVE to go on the ride while we're there!!!!!

I was there last Friday (March 28) and the ride was not open. The only signs we saw regarding when it would be open said Spring 2008. It didn't look like it would be ready by April 17th to me, but I could be wrong. I hope it is for your sake.

Work on the Simpsons Ride exterior has been picking up and is progressing quickly. I can only hope the inside is progessing as fast.

If I were a guessing man, I would say that soft openings will start in mid-April and the grand opening will be sometime in early May. Back when Revenge of the Mummy opened, it was in soft opening in April and the grand opening was in late May.

Hopefully, time will be on your side!

Thanks, guys! I'll go "snooping" around a bit while there, maybe a Universal employee is willing to let me know if there's a soft opening anytime soon

Just back and wow - I wish the Simpson's ride had been open. I haven't watched the show in many years but from the look on the outside - they have done a wonderful job. It is so colorful and looks like it will be a lot of fun.
