Springfield

[Allen The Actor]

I agree, the glossy looks comes off as very cheap. Can't wait to see it all completed!

Just a few items I noticed on today's visit.  First, and most important to me, that ugly exposed metal support behind Mr. Burns mansion is now obscured by additional foliage.

 

I think this window decal is relatively new.

This door to backstage is themed to match the DMV.  Got beat up quickly, though.

More shots of a well known donut aficionado and his car.

I never thought they'd fix that metal support sticking out. It was seriously grinding my gears but I LOVE that they took the time to get it fixed. Whole place is starting to look better and better!

Is that the old blues brothers car near chief wiggum .?

Only a few days until the supposed official opening. Hopefully they can add those last few statues seen in the concept art in the next few days..!

Tomorrow is the "rumored" grand opening. I wonder if we'll see any figures added over night.

 

[Brandonshah97]

I don't think so but we will see

 

[William]

Today will play host to the big media event, from what I'm hearing. Tomorrow, however, is supposedly the official opening of Springfield.

The Simpsons Ride is closing early today at around 5:00 PM for the event.

Tonight (May 12) is the official opening. Several guests including Nancy Cartwright and Al Jean will be there. Fireworks, too.

And SideShow Bob is on the Jail! Didn't bring my camera today. Doh!

I'm thinking that next week, we might see Fast & Furious soft open, since Springfield is officially open. Crossing my Fingers!

Just watched the event on TPA's periscope. It was extremely quick, maybe five minutes tops? Al Jean came in and did one of the quickest, most rushed speeches I've ever seen. After that they had the power plant "meltdown" with additional pyro and men in hazmat suits running around which was a nice touch.

And that was it. 

They also changed the Aztec theater signage to a Troy McClure reference.

Looks great. Love that they shine a spotlight on him, too.

Opening was nice, but was really rushed. I liked the ending pyro. The crowd was dead though. I felt bad for Sideshow Bob and Krusty at the end; they were all waving and no seem to care lol. 

 

[Allen The Actor]

Nice opening for what it was, but yeah, dead crowd.


Maybe if APs were invited, they'd be a bit more enthusiastic.
