Universal Orlando Resort/USA: Springfield Comes to Life at Orlando

Fans of the popular animation series „The Simpson“ should not miss visiting Universal Studios Florida in Orlando this summer, because this is where a new theme area dedicated to the animated family will be opened soon. The theme area will be anchored by the simulator attraction “The Simpsons Ride” opened in 2008. A brand-new outdoor attraction called “Kang & Kodos’ Twirl ‘n’ Hurl” as well as numerous places and buildings from the series will be (re)built in the new area. Visitors will be able to walk down “Fast Food Boulevard” and visit places like “Krusty Burger”, “The Frying Dutchman” “Luigi’s Pizza” or “Lard Lad”. Even a visit at “Moe’s Tavern” will be possible, with a Duff Beer, brewed exclusively for Universal Orlando, on offer. “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.” (eap)
