Simpsons Springfield Expansion

A couple of weeks ago a section of the new Springfield area near the Simpsons opened to guests. The new eating area, which used to be International Food and Film festival serves different things from The famous Krusty Burger or a Duff Beer.

Moe's serves Duff beer, (also a dry and lite) buzz cola, along with other drinks. If you just want drinks, you walk right up to the bar and order. 

The rest of the area is a selection of different types of foods: Pizza, fish shrimp, calamari, sandwiches burgers, doughnuts, soups, salads, hot dogs and more..

Other parts of the expansion will open later this summer. Price range for food $7-$14. Drinks $3-$8

Transformers and Simpsons Springfield Update

Soft openings has begun!

Optimus Prime added on top of the Transformers Ride Entrance:


Simpsons Springfield Expansion construction Update:

Opening June 1st most of everything on the Simpsons ride side. Area closer to lagoon will open later.

Universal Studios Update 4.11.13

Transformers construction is mostly complete outside. Most of the construction walls have been removed around the attraction a few weeks ago. 

You can now also meet with Megatron out near the Supply Vault. A few weeks ago Bumblebee and Optimus Prime were the only ones meeting guests. The Transformers meet guest daily. Currently no set times  and can change at any time. Once the barricades are set out near the attraction it will be easy to spot them and will take turns coming out throughout the day.

A few weeks ago high winds tore the banner off the front of the Rip Ride Rockit attraction. Still no banner today.

Area around Transformers receiving some much needed attention.
