The Future of The Simpsons Ride/Springfield (Orlando)

I'd honestly be completely fine if they just gave the Simpsons Ride a good, long refurb. Redo the screens to match the more modern ones seen in Bourne/Ministry/etc, and update the ride system.

I really don't want Universal spending any money on prolonging that ride system's life.

40 year old ride system in 2031.

Granted, Despicable Me's is even older, but it seems to manage better (probably because it barely moves).

If Simpsons is staying put for another 5 years, I'd certainly take an update. The ride's in really bad shape. It would take some of the bite out of that extended wait if the ride was actually enjoyable again.

WDW has some pretty old ride systems that the manufacturers probably no longer exist. Kennywood has coasters from the 1920's and
other types of attractions from the 1930's and 1940's that the manufacturers have long disappeared. Maintenance jerry rigs stuff
or fabricates their own. They could probably easily get another 5 or 6 years out of Simpsons if they threw a small amount of budget at them.
