Springfield Expansion

[insanepizzaguy]

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...

That sounds awesome! I cannot wait to see how this turns out.

Looks like they were panting primer on the Krusty Burger because it was not there yesterday :krusty:

Looks like they painted it a lighter tone?

It's a primer for what's coming next, I would assume

 

[Hatetofly]

I know we've talked about this before...
How close are we gonna get to this?:

Visually, pretty close but better:thumbs:

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

Indeed it will be

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

To my knowledge no, not everything. But then again I'm not exactly sure what marketing is preparing.

It's a primer for what's coming next, I would assume

Indeed

So I guess if you look at the LED lights at the amazing new mini golf course at City Walk, you can get a little idea of what the spinner will be like at night. Right?

 

[Hockeyman55]

More lights the better! Can't wait to take some long exposured shots of this bab boy and night lit up :thumbs:

I'm guessing that since Kang and Kodos constantly drool in the show, that there will be some sort of "spitting" feature involved. Right Hatetofly?

That's what i was thinking..like they spit water at you or something of the sort.

 

[Shadow Carelli]

Anybody think that they will give Springfield a Treehouse of Horror overlay come round Halloween time?

 

[Hatetofly]

There will be some unique effects :thumbs:

 

[Shadow Carelli]

Alien probing...:look:
If you've played The Simpsons Game then you'll understand their constant obsession with probing... :look:
Maybe like a seat buzz feature like at the end of The Simpsons Ride.

 

[knokout1]

Will they have to shut this ride off for Cinespec? Or will they just turn off all the lights.

 

[Sleepyhollowstudios]

That's a good question, Knokout. I would assume they would close it for the duration of CineSpec, rather than run it sans lighting. HTF, do you have a definite answer?

[Hatetofly]

I have no definite answer in terms of operations but considering VIP Cinespec seating will be so close by, I am almost positive the ride will be dark if not completely off during show time.

 

[Brervixen]

This so exciting!

Quote from OTPN, "What do they hide? Maybe they are just placeholders for new street lights"

They are correct. These mystery boxes are hiding conduit stub-outs for future street lights. :thumbs:

With stub outs, I would imagine inspections are coming.

Should be. In fact, conduit installs should have been inspected before they where covered.

I imagine the will not install the street lights until the other side of the street is completed.

I still can't believe we're going to, essentially, have an entire new land in seven or eight months, and a new e-ticket in 11.

And then following that, a new hotel, new part for Harry Potter, new JP attraction, and potentially water park and Kids Zone refurb. Universal has officially decided to stop screwing around.
