Here's a picture of the new map that includes Springfield.

A) Curious that they don't mark Kang and Kodos separate from the rest of the land.
B) Why no signage for the makeup show?

The actual theme park map from the parks has Horror Make-Up listed. This seems to be one of those rest stop brochures.

Correct. This is the brochure Universal gives us to give to our guests.

The new maps have it listed out a lot different. Kang and Kodos has a logo, Lard Lad, and a bunch of other details

Do the official in-park maps have Springfield listed as a land too or is it still World Expo with "Springfield" exclusive to this new brochure?

 

[MrRoamer]

Still in world expo, its like they did half for what Gambit posted and half for the park map.

Yeah, I think that might've been how I first noticed it too haha but I also believe I got something from UOR in the mail with this updated map as well, so maybe their next step would be to incorporate these new details into the actual park map :shrug:

FYI, Stanley Cup Playoffs are showing at Duff Gardens instead of the normal toon loop.

Brilliant.
Regarding that loop, I've heard that FX is making a 24-hour Simpsons channel. I know it would never happen, but it would be nice to see that take over the all-to-short loop at FFB.
And, in other news, they FINALLY fixed the Dunk-or-Flunk. Honestly, it's embarrassing that it took that long. That kind of maintenance is below ANY major theme park.

My guess is they were waiting on the vendor to produce the new sign.

Nice to see. The NBC tie in makes sense that the NHL is shown over the NBA.

There is a "Welcome To Springfield" billboard right by the comic book bathrooms.

You mean this one? It's been up since last year.

The 24 hour thing is just for when the show debuts on the network. I believe they are doing a marathon of all episodes at that time. There will be an app that has every episode ever available on demand (or through their website) if you login through your cable/satellite provider.

I believe Bob Space Racers, who made the original, also did the replacement. They make everything by hand with a relatively small staff, so I'm not shocked that it took a while.

Found this on a very public site

Interesting. From that art it looks like they were throwing around the idea of making Duff Gardens the food court.

It looks like it would be located where the foodcourt is instead as well with this facade taking the place of Cletus', notice the Quik-E-Mart roof line just barley poking in on the left side. I wonder what could have been beyond the fenced in area with trees.

Since Duffbrau Festzeut at Duff Gardens is just a parody of Dos Festhaus at Busch Gardens, I am glad we got Moe's and Krusty Burger which are more iconic of the show.

But I love concept art regardless of if it gets built, thanks for pointing it out HTF
