Springfield Expansion

[Frogki]

Sorry if I've missed something, but has anything been revealed about any components of Kang and Kodos? I mean, obviously it's a spinner, but are the cars individually controlled? Do they, themselves, spin? Are there water effects?

I believe that it was revealed that the individual cars don't spin but they do go up and down at the guest discretion. I don't remember if it was water but I remember something about shooting targets on the ride? :shrug:

Pretty sure shooting was, uh, shot down, but it was said that based on how high you raised your car at various points you would activate, i think, sound bites from different Simpsons characters.

Does this mean they aren't going to call the new land "Springfield"? The color and lettering scheme still indicate both the Simpsons Ride and the Twirl n' Hurl are in "World Expo"

A followup question to this, which probably doesn't belong here, but if these attractions become part of Springfield, does that orphan MIB in World Expo?

I don't believe that the name "World Expo" will be around in a couple of years

On the latest park map, FFL is finally part of World Expo instead of SanFran, as it should have been all along...

I think Springfield should be it's own "land" on the map as London should be next year.

Now it finally looks like the opening of the rest of Springfield should be quite soon.

 

[jorbri66]

When is it going to open?

 

[retroeric]

Is it safe to say both Lard Lad and Jebediah will be quick 1-day installations ala Optimus Prime? Possibly even springing up overnight?

When is it going to open?

From looks of those pics, I'm guessing first weekend in August at the earliest.

I know this video isn't Simpsons related but the first thing I thought of was Bart totally owned this new station

Wow! That update has me really excited! Any word if Duff Gardens is going to have TVs? That looks like the perfect place to come and hang out during football season.

 

[Disneyhead]

I believe that Duffs will have TVs.

Would be great if they showed live sporting events. I may never leave on a football Sunday

That's exactly what I'm thinking. Currently if there's a game on I really want to see, I shoot over to NASCAR Grille. But if Duff Gardens is going to be airing football on Sat/Sun, I'll have absolutely no desire to leave the park.

"Honey, take the kids and go battle Megatron, you'll know where I'll be!"

Maybe it's just me, but I don't want outside TV broadcasts in the parks. The one place I saw it, Backwater, was totally jarring and took me out of the experience and atmosphere. If you want to watch sports or ESPN stay home or at the hotel?

Again it might just be me.

It's not.
