Simpsons Ride Opens At Universal Orlando

The Simpsons Ride officially opened Thursday at the Universal Orlando Resort in Florida. Riders are swept into Krustyland, Krusty the Clown's new theme park, just as maniacal Sideshow Bob escapes from prison and takes control of the park to exact his revenge on Krusty and the Simpson family. Hand-picked by Krusty to be the first to ride his newest attraction, you are thrust into the middle of the action."I take with all due sense of mission and humility the opportunity to spray water and spritz baby powder at Universal patrons," Simpsons executive producer James L. Brooks said in a statement. "For 20 years I've been dreaming about this, and here it is - a wild, thrilling Simpsons Ride put together by a huge number of talented artists and amusement-park maniacs," added creator Matt Groening.
