What is The Simpsons Ride?
Join the Simpsons family, along with the wacky denizens of Springfield, as they go on their own theme park adventure to the thrilling (and possibly evil) Krustyland. This motion simulator is chock-full of characters from the show, with generous servings of Simpsons humor—the gags come fast and furious enough to make re-rides very entertaining.

In Springfield: Home of the Simpsons, which is located in Universal Studios Florida.

The Simpsons Ride – 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 or Disney+, then you know the humor and story themes are adult-oriented. Expect the same on this ride.

We rate this ride two out of five Duff beers on our fear factor scale – it’s a pretty straightforward simulator ride with a few moments of motion intensity.

May 15, 2008
Fun Facts
In homage to Back to the Future: The Ride, which was replaced by The Simpsons back in 2008, Comic Book Guy is wearing Marty’s futuristic jacket from Back to the Future, Part II. And in another Easter egg, Simpsons creator Matt Groening’s portrait is on display inside the queue.
The Simpsons Ride – Carnival Games
There’s a host of carnival games lining the attraction entrance, perfectly complimenting the madcap Krustyland theme of the ride itself. Try your hand at one of these Simpsons-themed games – if you’re lucky, you may just take home a giant, stuffed Homer.

Love the park and love the entirety Simpsons Land, however...
The TV’s that play the reel of different clips from Simpsons episodes is so short!!
We all love to sit in there for almost an hour at times and take everything in but after seeing the same thing repeat itself over and over again it gets a bit monotonous.
Universal should just play full episodes! There’s 30 seasons of the show, so they could just run as many episodes as they wanted, making the experience almost different every time!
It is a jerky ride and the theme is all over the place however, if you are a fan of the show than it’s totally worth it. The Simpson Land outside and around the ride gets 5 stars. Awesome place, you can even drink real Duff in Moe’s Tavern
The entire experience is something no Simpson fan should miss, even my wife who doesn't care for the show loved the ride! The whole thing including the line Que is apart of the experience and something I highly recommend!
I've got to say I was not a fan of this ride, and neither were my husband or best friend. The queue is amazing and perfectly themed. The ride itself though is super jerky and not smooth at all. With about 5 of these style rides around the theme park, I'd much rather do Transformers or Gringotts as they are a much smoother ride. Last time we did this one, I left with a bad headache and my husband with a sore back.
We ALL loved this ride. Not only was the design and ride differeant from the others it REALLY made it fun for all our family. So much so we spent hours in this area of the park....after all we are all kids at heart.
