The Future of The Simpsons Ride/Springfield (Orlando)

[Crypt Keeper]

Lot F (the lot with the sprungs) has been issued permits. Additionally, by ApexWarrior on the Theme Park Stop Discord; operations changes have seemingly begun to take place for staggered openings..for The Simpsons Ride

So Simpsons are on the way out?.....

The ride better not be going seasonal.

Get rid of it, sooner than later, but keep it operating until that time.

This would be way sooner than expected if they are beginning the process of removing Simpsons. My expectation was that they would leave it be until after EU opens and then look into replacing everything there.

 

[Freak]

I have to wonder whatever is replacing it will be a dual concept for both USH and USF. I mean, they have pretty close to the same amount of space to work with.

Maybe they could repurpose that original plan for SLoP but with a Simpsons theme.

This has been a hell of a day on here.
I am curious, have past HHN related permits for the tents have been filed this far in advance?

Last year, the Sprung Tents and B79 were filed in early January. Which were the earliest filings ever.

My guess is if they were to start on a Simpsons replacement the ride would go down in 2026 and the replacement would the 2028 addition to USF and USH. Meaning USF would get a new ride to draw people back to the park after Zelda opens at IOA in 2027 and USH for LA2028.

Some sort of dark ride probably larger than Pets seems to be a safe bet for a Simpsons replacement.

On a side note the spring tent area looks like it could hold another land probably separate from whatever replaces Simpsons. Maybe that could/will be cloned with whatever replaces SS 16-24 and Mummy at USH. The plots of land appear about the same size.

We're not doing this again.

Could be possible USH opts in to go with something different if they are intending to stick to having the land open by 2028. Would mean that they might be planning at spending the next two months before permits go up for HHN, on fixing up and cleaning up the infastructure ahead of a demolishment (like when Kidzone was prepping in 2017 for SNW then and there).

For now, I am quite curious to see the end result either way. Because even if something happens to TSR, it means they are doing upgrades to HHN in Orlando for venues sakes.

I guess this is just modifications to the sprung tent area to make it more efficient for ops during HHN

I just went on this ride a few days ago, and the projection on the left dome looked terrible. It was incredibly dim, and the amount of chromatic aberration was super distracting. Has anyone else noticed this or am I off base here?

Been like that for a while now unfortunately

Wonder if part of going seasonal is just to defer maintenance throughout the year. The ride system is well over 30 by now. But obviously, this should be affecting the projectors to a lesser degree. I'm not sure what it is about late 00s to early 10s rides with heavy projection, they all seem to have similar problems with projector focus.

I don’t know, but the screens have not been great for years now, not just a recent thing.

I think the perfect replacement for Simpsons(Florida only) is PETS.
Think about it…what’s right next to Simpsons? Animal Actors! What’s that about? Animals!
Make the whole area themed to animals. It will give everything some cohesion. They can even add PETS theming to animal actors.

Idk…It’s probably a terrible idea but wanted to share my opinion on it.

As for Hollywood I think they should retheme it to How to Train your Dragon.

Well this answers a lot of questions. Sprung tents. When is studios is getting something new. Simpsons contract.

2024 is going to be wild.

Accidentally threw this in the USH Hollywood Simpsons thread, but might as well throw it here as well:

This is what happens when you just type "simpsons" into the firefox address bar and click the first thread that shows up

They really need to do Pokemon and Zelda at the same time, so I am hoping the swap isn't reality and they just start moving workers from Epic over to the other parks. IOA desperately needs that capacity of lost continent. But Studios really needs a hit new ride, the last 3 have been very Meh.
