New Simpsons Ride

We just returned from Universal, wettest vacation ever!! Tropical storm Fay just wouldn't leave. Spent most of the time touring in ponchos!! But The new Simpsons Ride, OMG. It is so cool. We rode it a million times!! I thought Spiderman was good, but this one is incredible!! Glad we had the Express pass from Hard Rock, cause one day we just kept getting off & riding again 3 times!

The poncho pic on Colexis reply says it all!! I never saw so much rain in Aug. way more than the typical afternoon shower. So we had our ponchos on most of the time. Spent alot of time at The Studios as most rides there are indoors. Rode the Hulk with my eyes closed cause of the rain, lol! We managed to have a good time in spite of the dreary weather. Didn't have to leave home for rain, lol! The last few days it cleared up & we were able to use our Aquatica tickets. Nice park, but long lines & smaller than the WDW parks. Wave pool at TL much better.

The Simpsons Ride is fun, but if you are tall, try to sit in the front. There is a small "ceiling" that slopes down. I am 6'3" and my hair just touches the "ceiling." If you are taller, you might have to adjust your neck.

On the flip side, the cars have more legroom than BTTF's DeLorean's ever did.

We LOVED the Simpsons ride! On our first time through, we all laughed hysterically the whole time. It was great! I thought the only improvement could have been to add some 3D like on Spiderman.

Disney could learn something from these two rides.

This was by far my favorite ride of the trip! Mission Space at Disney was second but not a close second. I loved this and Spiderman at IOA. Both were awesome! I dream of going back just to ride again.

Will people who don't watch The Simpsons still enjoy the attraction? I have never watched it.
