The Simpsons Ride

Probably the best motion simulator in the park. Tons of jokes are made on the line as well as on the ride. That’s actually its strength and therefore the only ride I would consider going on twice on a peak day because you see a seemingly never repeating loop of Simpsons clips.

One of my favorites at universal studios! It is a simulated ride, but it will still get your stomach! Very fun

Krustyland and Simpsons area at universal is super cool and fun to hang around. But this ride is the worst one at universal. Groups of 8 head into each room that is disguised as an elevator. Once you get into the elevator there is a ride cart there. You sit down and you don’t actually go anywhere but instead you get risen higher to see a huge projector screen. The ride bumps along and moves/​tilts to the movie. It’s terrible as the graphics are not good quality and its 2D. Both my hubby and I got motion sickness from this ride. Over heard conversations and it was the same for others as well.

I love this freakin’ ride. The Simpsons are part of the culture of my generation. It never gets old for me. Even though my kids have no clue who the Simpsons are, they liked it too. Not sure how old the ride is (10 years plus?) but it’s still fun. The Itchy and Scratchy pre ride safety/​warning film is hilarious although was probably pretty inappropriate for my 4 and 6 year olds. The wait was only 10 minutes with Express Pass. If you feel dizzy, just look at your feet.

I thought this was a great 3D thrill ride, but it did lack some things. Waiting in line, the décor was definitely not as interactive as the other thrill rides. Actually the line wait was somewhat boring compared to Transformers, Spiderman, Harry Potter. I am prone to motion sickness, this ride has many drops, spins, dips, and curving, it would have been one of my favorite rides if it were not for me feeling nauseous afterward. I had to close my eyes halfway through the ride so I would not get any dizzier. The line wait was pretty quick, said 45 minutes, more like 25 min, not bad.

Though the line sucked, my 6 year old and I really enjoyed this ride. It was funny and entertaining, and I like how they incorporated characters and scenes from the show in this ride. This is one of those rides where you sit in a moving system/​chair/​whatever you call it, so don’t come expecting to go somewhere (besides Springfield). It is s lot of fun though, as these usually are, and it’s a funny and cool trip/​adventure. Both my daughter and I would totally ride this again, even with the line like it was.

This ride made me so nauseous. The 3D effects and the lurching and being thrown around… Too much. I’m not even normally a queasy person — I love love rollercoasters. This one just wasn’t that fun and only made me feel bad. I had to go outside and sit down for several minutes afterwards.

So, I am a huge fan of the Simpsons and have been since I was a child! I was very excited to get on this ride upon arriving to universal. Sadly I was not that thrilled with the ride at all. It was honestly a large disappointment to me. While the animation was good and seeing all the characters involved in the ride was fun, it definitely left me wanting me! The ride itself gave the «illusion» of being on a animated roller coaster track and the cart you were seated in moved and shook to simulate that you were moving. Yet in reality you never even left the room you were in.
The digital animation honestly made me nauseated, which was weird because I do not typically get nauseated on rides at all but this one did me in. I think it was from being so close to the screen and being combined with the rapid jerking of the ride.
One of the highlights I did like was when Maggie picked up the car and began to suck on it like a pacifier the the entire room started smell like baby powder which I thought was a very cute touch to the ride.
I sadly would not get on the ride again but I do suggest you at least get on the ride once just to try it and see for yourself how they chose to make you apart of the Simpson life!

Remember Back to the Future? Well, instead put in the Simpsons.
The wait is sort of boring. If you’re lucky, you are in the view of some televisions playing the Simpsons but otherwise, have your phone with you for entertainment.
It’s the same concept and ride but it’s Simpsons themed and it’s an awesome theme! The ride itself is fun and the video played really does give you a full tour of Springfield.
Definitely a fan!

This ride was located in Krustyland. This was one of my favorite rides at Universal Studios. The line for this ride might always be long, but while waiting in line there was plenty of stuff to look at and keep you entertained. It’s not an actual roller coaster ride, but the car that you sit in moves around to match whatever you see on the screen. It was nowhere near as scary or thrilling as a real roller coaster. If you were at anytime a Simpsons fan, you should check this out!

A big part of this ride isn’t just the couple of minutes on the roller coaster simulator. It really starts when you walk through Krusty’s big slack jaw to enter «Krustyland».
From this point forward its an immersive experience from standing in line, the rooms they shuffle you through, and the simulator itself. There’s clips from the TV show playing, tons of different things everywhere to look at, and a few things that you might not notice unless you’re really paying attention.
The build-​up all the way through is about Sideshow Bob’s return to Springfield and wanting to destroy everything, more or less. Its a decently long story line to keep you interested through your wait.
I agree with other reviewers about how they feel sick after this simulator. I have a strong stomach and rarely have problems with rides. On this one though I did feel a little queezy so you may want to give this a pass if you can handle an intense roller coaster.

Krustyland where the Simpsons ride is housed is awesome! There are several carnival games outside the land which were a staggering $ 6 per person to play for the chance to win a toy that I am 100% certain costs way less than $ 6 so we steered far clear of that. The ride was one of the best in the park. In true Simpsons fashion — the commentary during the ride was very satirical. The 3-​D effects and thrill factor were awesome.

The wait for this ride was fairly long.
The ride itself wasn’t super long.
Each «Car» has 2 rows of 4. If you have any adults in the first row, and you’re sitting in the second row, you won’t be able to see the screen. I was unable to see a good amount of what was going on. For the record, I’ 5’8″ and there was a grown man in front of me (probably around 5’11″.
Yup. Can’t see anything :(

I walked out feeling the Motion Funk. There’s something odd about this ride based not only from my experience, but also numerous other reviewers. I enjoy the Simpson humor, but this motion simulator leaves a lot to be desired.
Another reason for a low score — the LONG wait on a day of light attendance. The «Wait Clock» said 5 minutes, which actually took 40 minutes!

I’m not a Simpsons fan, so I have always skipped this ride. MISTAKE! You don’t have to be a fan to enjoy this ride. It is one of a kind and very, very exciting! The line is super detailed (but probably makes more sense to someone who is a fan) and I love the fact that it seems to go pretty quickly.
I can tell that this is a popular one because even though we were there during a slow week, it always had the longest wait time. We braved it a few times and it was so worth it. I read the reviews beforehand and all the talk about motion sickness and claustrophobia scared me… not even gonna lie. But, having been on the ride a few times, I see why there are so many disclaimers out there. If you are claustrophobic you will have a hard time with this. The holding room, where you watch a video before heading on the ride, is quite small. You can leave the door cracked (which is what we did) and maybe that will help you out a bit. Then, you go into another tiny room and get inside a stationary car. Imagine my surprise when, just before the ride, that car lifts up a story or so and you are now underneath a domed screen that is enclosed on all sides. If you haven’t guessed, *that* is probably the part that induces all the claustrophobia.
While you’re in the little car dome, you endure an awesome simulator ride! I am not prone to motion sickness, so I had no problems with it and thought it was so much fun! Even my mom, who is not that into rides, enjoyed it.
Bottom line is that this is a must do!

If you’ve been enjoying the 3D simulators in the park so far, this is another ride for you.
I’m not a Simpsons fan, but I was determined to ride all of the simulator rides, as they enable me to experience serious motion without actually having to go through serious motions!
The queue for this ride is definitely geared toward Simpsons fans, so if you are, then you’ll love it, but either way it’s at least entertaining. Once you get past the line you go into a room with I believe around 7 other people and it acts like an elevator (not sure if it actually moves?).
Then you get into rows of 2 and get strapped in and pulled upward in order to experience the ride. The ride takes place in an amusement park, and I thought it was super fun. It takes you on an intense rollercoaster and has you bouncing around the park as you try to escape the evil villain.
This is a ride like HP Forbidden Journey that is not for people who experience motion sickness. If you like the other simulators though, you should give this one a shot. You also get to keep your belongings on this, which I really like.

I really enjoyed this ride! It’s however not for
Those who are claustrophobic since your holding cell is an individual small room. The safety video was narrated by itchy & scratchy and the 3-​D simulation was pretty cool. Loved it all!

So much fun! My fiancé and I are big fans of the Simpsons and loved the ride. We didn’t have to stand in line too long, as we had fast passes and got to bypass the longer line. I love how true it was to the Simpsons, from all the Simpsons posters and jokes on the walls, to the silly intro video to the ride.
It’s a simulator ride (and thankfully you can carry your loose belongings with you while riding).
Get ready to plunge into the whacky world of the SImpsons and Krustyland and evade the destructive Sideshow Bob (who has always creeped my fiancé and I out). It’s a really fun ride, albeit bumpy at times!
Highly recommended if you’re a fan of the Simpsons.
And the area around the ride is full of awesome Simpsons-​themed restaurants and stores from around Springfield, like Moe’s Tavern, Duff Brewery, the Krusty Burger, and even the Kwik-​E-​Mart. We didn’t really stop into any of those places, except we got bottles of water from the Kwik-​E-​Mart, but it’s still fun to pass through! Highly recommended ;)

As a hardcore Simpsons fan, I loved this ride. This and the Simpsons section of Universal in general was the main reason why I wanted to go to Universal when in the region for a friend’s wedding, and neither disappointed.
The wait was pretty short in mid-​May, just 15ish minutes, and my fiancé and I and a couple of our friends were soon in a little room with a few other people waiting for a ride to become available. There’s several separate rooms, each with a cart that you climb into, that raises you up into the domed space above where you get to experience the «ride» in 3D animation.
It’s very immersive and fast paced as you tag along with the Simpson family in a theme park as they try to escape the villainy of Sideshow Bob. There was a lot going on, and the cart was very responsive to what was happening in the video, so it seemed quite real, or at least as real as animation can be. It even shook up my buddy who was beaded with sweat afterward, although he was able to keep that Krusty Burger down, luckily.
If you’re in the park, definitely check out The Simpsons Ride, although watch out if you’re on the squeamish side or afraid of gigantic murderer teddy bears.

Ich muss sagen einfach nur geil. Obwohl die Achterbahn nur simuliert ist, hat man jederzeit das Gefühl in einer echten zu sitzen. Ist echt gut gemacht und Homer fährt immer voraus ;-)
Ach ohne 3D Brille fühlt man sich wie mitten drin.

El juego que me logró sacar la mayor cantidad de carcajadas en todo mi viaje. increíblemente bien logrado, lo único que le critico fue que me pareció durar demasiado poco. Y es la única atracción a la cual en un parque lleno de ellas, y con una agenda muy apretada, me subí dos veces.
Es apto toda la familia y todos van a encontrarlo excelente. Además, la espera está muy amenizada por clips del show y personajes secundarios que hacen apariciones en lugares clave.
IMPERDIBLE!

There is just so much NO about this ride.
1. Replaced Back to the Future ride.
2. I ALWAYS want to throw-​up after I ride this ride.
3. Replaced Back to the Future ride.
I’m giving this ride 2 stars purely for how great they did with representing the ride and really making it look like you were entering a whole new amusement park. The Simpson’s section is just so amazing and brings everything to life. But man, this ride just does not make my stomach feel good. EVER. And I have to ride it every single time I go because I’m always going with a new, different group of people.
Honestly, they should take the time to renovate this ride and make it like how Transformers 3D and Escape from Gringotts is, that is at least more tolerable and fun.
DO NOT ride in the back row, you can’t see ANYTHING going on. It may be a good seat for people who are more sensitive for the ride (maybe, after all I was still nauseous after sitting back there).
Probably won’t ride it from this point forward, I just can’t handle how gross I feel after. But if you’re in for a good laugh and some good ol’ Simpson’s rivalry, ride it out!
