Scooby_Doo Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 Screamscape has heard a juicy rumor!!! Anywho the Screamscape spy has spilled the beans that The Simpsons are coming to Universal Orlando to replace the back to the future ride makes sense to me since the simpsons movie is very hush hush seems like this project would be as well if I remember correctly the shrek ride was hush-hush as well...I hope this is true because I am a HUGE simpsons junkie! www.Screamscape.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Picard Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 Why would Universal NBC want to theme to a Fox movie? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooby_Doo Posted July 21, 2006 Author Share Posted July 21, 2006 Why would Universal NBC want to theme to a Fox movie? One reason...It's Popular... besides it would be good for the park..shrek is a dreamworks film and they are now paramount. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vortex Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 Why would Universal NBC want to theme to a Fox movie?

Paramount can sell the movie on DVD but thats about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jzarley Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 ...actually, Paramount bought the live action studio part of Dreamworks (then immediately turned around and sold the film library), and has distribution rights for Dreamworks Animation films. Dreamworks Animation is still its own indpendent company. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenban Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 As I remember the original plan was that one of the "islands" in IOA was going to be the Simpsons. Universal was unable at the time to get a license its possible that Fox has changed their minds. From what I have seen so far the plan is to reuse as much of the original building and ride as possible. The good is that this should be pretty cheap to change. The problem is that the Universal Orlando parks need more rides and shows. They need to worry more about adding then replacing existing attractions.

Vortex Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 Well BTTF was looking very old. USJ is getting a new coaster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooby_Doo Posted July 22, 2006 Author Share Posted July 22, 2006 Yeah I read USJ is getting a coaster but the two american parks may be getting the simpsons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooby_Doo Posted July 24, 2006 Author Share Posted July 24, 2006 So I read around the web verious Universal sites and newspapers...I am starting to think this rumor may be true ... this ride will be a tie-in with the 400th epsiode and the movie.

King Bowser Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 OH MAN......... I hope The Simpsons do come to USF that would RULE! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Bowser Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 UPDATE* 7/29/06 I just got some good news The Simpsons are coming to orlando I got a comformation and he says the Simpsons are coming but a lot of loyal BTTF fans are pi$$3d ! he also had this to say one of the rides in the purposed Simpsons Island was a ride called "Otto-Mobile" which would have been a ride through Springfield on the bus with Otto. I can see a Simpsons ride through Springfield it would be like the game "Simpsons Road Rage". There you have it the simpsons ride may be a crazy bus ride though Springfield..or maybe a crazy stroll with Dr.Frink. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooby_Doo Posted August 2, 2006 Author Share Posted August 2, 2006 ^ Huh ? anyway I just got word that the simpsons are coming to Universal and if the attraction is a hit they will add it to Universal Studios Hollywood the following year an annoucment will come at the end of this month.

Jasper Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 But I LOVE BttF! U are not the only one. I cannot believe they are taking out BTTF to put in a Simpsons Ride. I am a Simpsons fan but i love BTTF all that much more. We should have made this into a poll, What is better,BTTF or The Simpsons? My vote goes to BTTF. BTTF Part 1-Marty McFly,"You built a time machine out of a Delorion?!?!" BTTF Part 2-Doc,"The time-traveling is just too dangerous. Better that I devote myself to study the other great mystery of the universe: women!" BTTF Part 3-MArty McFly,"[upon arriving in 1885; sees Indians on horseback, galloping towards him] Indians!" Ohhh man what a great movie and i have a ton of more quotes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jzarley Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 "Krustiest Place on Earth" Ok, so this ride cost $40M even though it's using an existing structure and a lot of the BTTF hardware? (I wonder if that's the total for both USH & USF?) Even so, with that kind of money, this should be one impressive simulator! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
