Universal Studios Hollywood will be adding animated fun and excitement to their roster next year. A new highly anticipated theme park ride based on the blockbuster hit series, The Simpsons, is set to open in Spring 2008. Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa and Maggie Simpson – stars of TV’s longest running series – will ride along with guests in a new mega-attraction. Guests will be rocketed along with the Simpson family and experience a side of Springfield previously unexplored. The ride will be interpreted by thrill rides, dark rides and “live” shows that make up a new fantasy amusement park dreamed up by the show’s irritable Krusty the Clown. Universal’s award-winning creative team is collaborating with The Simpsons creator and executive producers. The ride will feature the show’s classic humor and many of its instantly recognizable characters - all voiced by the original actors. Currently the longest-running sitcom on television, the critically acclaimed series features characters that take traditional family life and turn it upside down. Exploding into a cultural phenomenon in 1990, The Simpsons has remained one of the most visible and marketable series domestically and internationally.
