The Simpsons Ride had it's grand opening at Universal Studios Hollywood over the weekend. I'm a big fan of the AP photo, which is like something straight outta the show:
Considering Krusty's history, it's rather apt that the whole deal is actually a cheap re-fit of the Back to the Future ride.
From the Universal Orlando site: "The Simpsons are visiting Krustyland, the low-budget theme park created by famed TV personality and shameless product huckster Krusty the Clown!"
- State-of-the-art digital projectors cover an 80 ft. diameter dome surface with an image four times the standard High Definition found in most home theaters, and twice what you'd experience in a normal digital theater.
- All the character voices in the attraction were performed by the original stars of the long-running The Simpsons show.
- Hilarious new The Simpsons animation was created not just for the ride, but for the pre-show and queue areas as well.
