Springfield Expansion

[Andy]

Finally rid of more flags and the sine waves on the lagoon wall are disappearing! It's a good day for theming!

It truly does make me realize what a waste of prime lagoon space this used to be.

I think that was the one thing people never realized when I started sharing the "rumored" :look: details of th project. Most people had no idea just large a tract this was. Can't wait to see people's reaction when it's completed as they stroll through Springfield.

Anyone else been walking through say CityWalk and see a Moes hat and take a double take to make sure it was just for the SouthWestern grill?

Yeah the area around the IFFF was one of the least interesting in the park...glad we're getting something much better.

What I can say is the mini space ships you will ride in are your typical looking round style UFO's. the ride will also have one heck of a LED package for night lighting. What I cannot comment on is the center piece which get a real rise out of guests...

The spinner sounds exactly how i imagined it! And rise out of the guests?..hmmm, sounds like Kang and Kodos probably rise out of the middle part and go up and down lol orrr maybe it means something else?..maybe it squirts water at the guests?..

Not that many will care, but the Kang and Kodos spinner will be one of the most unique looking and best themed spinners there are :thumbs:

I care! Finally a spinner that makes sense and will make everyone smile!:thumbs:

Looking at the internal size of Moe's it sure appears to me that it's going to be pretty tight. It's going to be a very popular spot and I can't see that working out too well.

Duff Gardens for overflow.

This expansion is turning out to be wayyy more than i ever expected it would be! And i know people love the Animal Actors show but i wouldnt mind if they decided to get rid of that for something else Simpsons related.

I wouldn't bet against it for the future, especially if springfield is well received.

 

[Shadow Carelli]

I wouldn't mind a dark ride to replace animal actors

Don't know anything about this animal actors, but please make it happen! With a show that has been on for 25 years, possibilities are endless...I'm sure, based on what people are saying this expansion will be, Simpsons fans will be satisfied, but I think Springfield could use a ride based more on the everyday characters, compared to Krustyland and Kang and Kodos, IMHO

A ride through Springfield with Homer in his car while he's drunk... :look:

That and end up in the Nuclear Power Plant, which he blows up, destroying the entire town

 

[Accio Butterbeer]

I can just see a Simpsons ride like the Scooby-Doo ride in Paramount! That would be AWESOME! :drool:

Ok, here is one thing that doesn't make sense to me, not a big simpson fan, but do appreciate immersive themed areas. If Krustyland is the "amusement park" within Springfield then wouldn't the K&K spinner contradict that? Why would you have a spinner outside of the amusement park?

I'm not complaining, I think it is a much more effective use of the space! Just curious...

Kang and Kodos the spinner is themed within the Krustyland sub section. It's entrance will be inside the sub zone, and from a theming perspective it's entry sign will be themed to an amusement park style ride entrance as well. Remember this, think tentacles and lights...

Can't wait to see how it continues to develop, thanks for the great updates

Tentacles and lights? This sounds like it'll be the thing to see at night!

HTF, when the announcement comes, will there be full renderings of everything in Springfield?
