Springfield Expansion

[Capacity]

I took this one this morning. I didn't expect them to be working today. I think it was Sunday I only saw one worker in what I think is the control booth for the spinner (if ti is on the second story...I think it is on the far right in this photo).

I think the building on the right is going to be the Duff Beer Façade. The control for the ride will most likely be a console near the actual ride on the ground.

I believe it was mentioned earlier in the thread that the OPs Station will be under the lower section of the canopy :thumbs:

Yeah, the Ops Station will be under the lower smaller section of the canopy. The small square building just to the right of the blue canopy is where the kegs of Duff's will be chilled stored for Duff Gardens. You can see it in the concept art. It has the smokestacks on it.

From today, and please note these were all taken from guest walkways around the lagoon.

Thanks for the update, HTF! I see they have finished painting the side of Moe's! :thumbs: Plus new colors around Cletus, and lots of sheet rock and progress! Woohoo!! :homer:

So, do any of our insiders have any news on what kind of beer Duff will be?

Weird question to ask, but as a beer fan I was hoping on some more insight on that.

No insight Skip but I'm gonna go out on limb here and say it will be a clone of Hogs Head Ale.

I'd be REALLY surprised/disappointed if that was the case.

I don't think they would call it a new specialty brew if that were the case.

Totally agree but again thats just me guessing out loud is all.

Thank you for the photos HTF! Duff Gardens looks like a wonderful place to kick back with a beer and watch Universal's Cinematic Spectacular.

Yea. I'm thinking it will be something lighter than Hog's Head. More of an American lager than the Scottish lager that Hog's Head Brew is.

Great new pics! Is that the beginnings of a bar being built in Duff Gardens?

And I still think the "MOE'S" sign looks out of place. I wish they would have used the same font for Moe's that they used for Androids.

And, I too, think that Duff beer will be something generic - designed to please and refresh the masses. Along the lines of Hog's Head Brew or Animal Kingdom's Safari Amber.

Remember, it's Homer's favorite beer. I'm not expecting anything too fancy.

You think? I always thought of Hogs Head Brew as a darker ale and Duff as a lighter, blonde(?) ale. Hopefully they'll be different. What a cop out otherwise...

 

[Jymmymack]

I'm guessing an American lager. Light, not too bitter and something to be enjoyed in an open-air bar in Florida.

 

[TylerDurden]

for some reason, I always imagined Duff being similar to Miller, and Universal does keep Miller Lite in stock

I have heard that it's brewed by the same company that does the Hogs Head brew, but that it will be a more American beer.

 

[JungleSkip]

Looking at the Florida Beer Company site (they make Hog's Head), I could see it either being the middle beer on this page http://www.floridabeer.com/1_keywest_page.html or the last beer on this one http://www.floridabeer.com/1_ybor_page.html

I don't like beer... but you betcha ass I'm going to be having a Duff in September, and I will be singing the song.
