Review Important Safety Guidelines. New To You All-new Simpsons animation was created for the ride, and also the pre-show and queue areas. With its rapid-fire gags, a penchant for cartoon violence, and boundary-pushing humor, The Simpsons TV show is a good fit at the loud, in-your-face, we-love-to-blow-stuff-up Universal Studios parks.
The Simpsons Ride gives guests the chance to accompany Bart, Homer, and the rest of the iconic clan as they experience Krustyland , a theme park that has been built on the cheap by Krusty the Clown. Of course, calamity ensues. And, since this is the Simpsons, hilarity ensues as well.
As a motion simulator, The Simpsons Ride at Universal Orlando syncs the action of its eight-passenger vehicles with wild animated footage. Although scenes include maneuvers such as free-falling from nosebleed heights and mid-air collisions, the vehicles never actually move more than a few inches in any direction. If you want to see what the concept of a motion simulator is about with a more toned-down attraction, try Universal's Despicable Me Minion Mayhem ride first.
The attraction is housed inside a garish Krustyland building, with retro amusement park lights, eye-popping colors, and a giant head of Krusty the Clown. Guests enter the ride by walking along Krusty's "red carpet" tongue and into his mouth. The signature Simpsons humor is everywhere.

At both Universal parks, The Simpsons Ride is presented in the same buildings that used to house the Back to the Future attractions. As with that groundbreaking motion simulator ride, guests make their way through labyrinthine corridors and up to one of the multiple levels on either side of the building.
Before boarding, they are held in a pre-show area filled with laugh-out-loud Simpsons displays that include Apu and Groundskeeper Willy. A hilarious video sets the stage as the guests are chosen to join the Simpsons family for the debut ride aboard Krusty's Thrilltacular, Upsy-Downsy, Teen-Operated Roller Coaster.
However, a vengeful Sideshow Bob the voice of Kelsey Grammer is shown lurking in the shadows to sabotage the new park. Groups of eight passengers are shuttled to individual ride rooms where they watch a literally gut-busting, pre-ride safety video featuring Itchy and Scratchy.
