Two sentence insider summary
Join the Simpsons family as they go on their own theme park adventure to Krustyland. This motion simulator ride is chalked full of characters straight from the show and generous portions of Simpsons humor–enough to make re-rides very entertaining.

Fear factor
2 out of 5. Straightforward simulator ride.

Wait times
Even though this attraction is only about a year old (it replaced Back to the Future), it typically doesn’t get lines longer than 30 minutes, and often has lines no longer than 10 minutes due to its large capacity.

What you wish you knew before you experienced it
This attraction may be based on an animated show, but if you have seen the Simpsons on FOX, then you know their humor and story themes are adult-oriented. Expect the same on this ride.

OI fun fact
In homage to the Back To The Future Ride, which The Simpsons Ride replaced, Comic Book Guy is wearing Marty’s futuristic jacket from Back to the Future Part II. Creator Matt Groening can also be seen in a portrait on display in the queue sequence.
