Springfield

[BriefCasey]

So when I went a couple days ago, I saw that all four Simpsons were out for meet and greets, and the line was noticeably longer than usual because of it. I wonder how rare it must be.

From what I’ve been told it’s around 1-3ish somewhere around then they normally all meet

I’m guessing it’s around the shift changes. Two meet in the morning and two meet later normally

We need side show bob this year, it’s been years since he’s been out

I was at the park today and I noticed there are orange spray painted markings on the side of the Simpsons building. Never seen them before. Could be the beginning of something happening here, finally.

Yes and white markers on the other side I’ve been documenting them weekly.

Probably means they are moving a trashcan.

They added pistachios cream donuts to the menu but…

….they got rid of the cookies and cream That was the best flavor!

I've personally never had it, but I feel you. I miss it when they had regular sized donuts at Lard Lad, which meant you weren't locked into the cake sized ones if you wanted a donut while inside the park.

Is this the first Food Fresh in the land since opening?

I can't remember the last time they updated Springfeild in any way like this before but maybe it happened a long time ago or after covid and I didn't notice

After seeing the the odyssey, if they do make a Studio Land then the odyssey show in the style of the Bounce Identity (funny both series star Matt Damon)
I feel like it would give a cool unique show and like I said before also be change able for HHN and Fan Fest nights

But they have a couple of battles in here that are pretty different and would be fun to see live and also bring back learning how films are made into USH with a modern film, that I can see being very popular

YouTube killed the very idea of the general public wanting to see how movies are made. Hence why Universal eliminated the Animal and Special Effects show.

Isn't the Tram the number one attraction at the park with WW?

The tram's been grandfathered in. And people usually go there for the experience than learning.

Well since I said it would be like the Bounce Identity, I think it would work (unless you have information that show is not watched by anyone)

The Tram gets people and if people keep loving this movie would make a great show

I think that's a bit of an oversimplification.

Those theaters were having structural issues due to being built on the hillside. (The Simpsons Ride building is also dealing with this, and something will have to give eventually.) They finally found a way to do the coaster (right...?), so they hit two birds with one stone.

Animal Actors and the Special Effects Show generally filled their auditoriums and were well-received by guests.

I do agree that studio parks have been forced to move away from the "peek behind the curtain" approach due to the ubiquity of DVD special features and YouTube explainers. That's a big part of why the revised Special Effects Show focused on stunts and moments that were exciting to see live - i.e., what you can't necessarily get out of a taped special feature.
