The Simpsons Ride Overview
Join the Simpsons family as the first test riders on Krustyland’s newest extreme roller coaster on The Simpsons Ride. Plus, Sideshow Bob has escaped and is out for revenge against Bart and the Simpsons again. After he arranges for the Simpsons to be chosen as test riders, he enacts his plan and ensures chaos ensues.
This motion-simulated roller coaster ride takes riders crashing through Krutstyland and the town of Springfield. Along the way, riders encounter other fan favorite characters from the television series and even a giant-sized Maggie.

Our Recommendations
Ride Priority: Moderate – Experience this ride as long as time allows.
Best Time to Ride: For the shortest wait, ride during the first two hours after the park opens or the last two hours before the park closes.
Best Seats in the House: Due to the curved screen, ride vehicles towards the outside gain a slightly distorted view. We recommend sitting on level two and in one of the two center vehicles. To request this spot, riders must request the level two ramps with the first attendant after passing through the entrance and then request a specific row with the second attendant grouping the rows later on.
