Springfield Expansion

[Yabbadabba Doh]

Did they ever finish adding the final elements: Welcome to Springfield sign, Krustyland entrace sign, and some other misc items or did I miss this entirely?

This video has a shot of the Greetings From Springfield sign right at the beginning.

Any update on when the HD projectors are being installed on the ride?

Krusty Burger at Universal makes Time's List of 17 Most Influential Burgers:

Yeah no, but hey the Ramen Burger is on there so I have to give them some cred.

Interesting Simpsons tidbit from the Diagon Alley stuff. If you go to this page: https://www.universalorlando.com/ck1128bma09/hub.html and click on the Diagon Alley logo that is on the Marauder's style map, if brings up a somewhat greyed out version of the UO map. In addition to the Diagon Alley area, it shows a big "Springfield" on the map. Not sure if it means anything other than they have map artwork with the Springfield name on it.

I have seen 2 new Springfield electronic billboards here in Orlando. One for Lard Lads and one for Krustyburger. They are pretty cool.

Last Summer, Uni was testing a Reserved Cinespec Viewing Section along the Duff Gardens waterfront. Guests paid for a reserved table and the package included a non-alcoholic drink and a dessert/cupcake, I believe. I think there was also a version of the package available as an add-on at several sit-down restaurants.

Does anyone know if they still offer this? Was it available during the busy Holiday season? Will it be available this Summer?

Still available last I checked, though I hardly ever see anyone using it. I've done it a couple times, the view is ok and it's nice to have a seat but their are better vantage points. If you wanted a squishee & cupcake to eat anyway it isn't a bad deal...

The M&G Simpsons have been making appearances between the couch photo op and the SledgeHomer. Hopefully they'll be getting a proper location built there soon.

This is testing currently. Got to get that photo op some more traffic and you do that with characters, not walk by sales pitches.

Do you guys think they're ever going to repaint the Simpsons ride building? It's been getting ever more noticably faded (and unevenly, too) for a while now.

What ever happened to painting the ground in Springfield like a road? I was looking forward to that.
