Springfield Expansion

All I'm saying is no flat rides. No matter how you theme them they still come out short. As for the waterfront work oh yes, I think we can all agree on that

Oh barffffff!

Spaceballs the ride?

Who wouldn't want to see a gravitron installed here? :happy: they could even theme it to the aliens that sometimes appear on The Simpsons. :thumbs:

Cars Land disagrees with you.

You can do flat rides in a theme park if they work. I just don't want to see potential great attractions, restaurants, stores, or even M&G's take a hit.

Now, how about a freshly tiered waterfront viewing area?

That's be my best guess, and it'd be an amazing spot to view the show, especially once London "appears"

Cars Land disagrees with you.

I will let you know in about two and half weeks

I just got back from the park and I noticed a pattern on the walls for the lagoon in front of the Simpsons. Was this recently redone? I don't remember the design and colors of the wall...

Why do people not use camera phones?

I think said member is referring to some plastic panels located on the bottom of the handrails located on the lagoon wall. But then again without pics or a better description it's hard to say.

I believe these are the panels being discussed:

I would guess that these are to block the LASERs from the lagoon show. You don't want someone sitting on the ground getting hit in the eye!!!

The panels are also located in other areas around the lagoon where you can site close to the waterline.

Good call Bob!

New permit filed today. Per this new permit, buildings 72, 72 A, 72 B, 72 C, and 73 F are being remodeled for this project as well as the areas around them. New construction will take place as well.

 

[JungleSkip]

72A,B, and C, I would have to assume, are the Kwik-E-Mart, IFF, and restrooms. 73F is something on the Simpsons Ride. I'm thinking maybe they're going to connect the two buildings in some fashion and exit the ride through the new, expanded shop?

 

[Hockeyman55]

If that happens then will only the right half of the Simpsons ride exit into the new shop then leaving the left side to empty out into the park like it does now?

Yea, that's why I put a question mark at the end there. I dunno how they'd pull it off in a way that would make sense.

^ they could always funnel everyone out the one exit towards the shop but would be a cluster F if both sides emptied at the same time.

both sides wont empty at the same time. they alternate when filling the ride. it keeps the line constantly moving instead of a big rush to fill the whole ride at one time.

Markings showing up and carts are disappearing...

 

[Swiminn6]

I hope they replace that concrete, looks very dated!
