D’oh! Simpsons Ride now open at Universal Orlando Resort

Look out Mickey. Bart, Homer and the rest of the Simpsons gang have landed in Orlando.

The Simpsons Ride — based, of course, on the long-running series on FOX — officially opened this month at Universal Orlando Resort.

A Small World this is not. On the Simpsons Ride, visitors are transported into the Krustyland theme park, where sleazy Sideshow Bob has taken control after fleeing prison and sought revenge against Krusty and the Simpsons.

"Hand-picked by Krusty to be the first to ride his newest attraction," as Universal tells it, "you are thrust into the middle of the action."

The ride, which features new Simpsons animation and character voices performed by the original stars, is located in the World Expo area of Universal Studios.
