Starting next year, the buildings that have housed the Back To The Future rides at both Universal Theme Parks will be converted into what is supposed to be a massive Simpsons-based attraction. The high concept is that the attraction will be a theme park designed by Krusty, but I have a feeling the actual rides will be more Springfield-centric.

In April, Universal Orlando said it would spend in the range of $120 million on attractions and other upgrades, but declined to comment then on speculation that a ride based on “The Simpsons” would be part of the expenditure.

And, particularly with “The Simpsons” ride, company executives are not revealing many details, including the cost to develop and build the project.

…according to Universal’s initial description of “The Simpsons” ride, “Guests will be rocketed along with the Simpson family on a hysterical, almost unimaginable adventure. They’ll experience a side of Springfield previously unexplored, as they enjoy the new ride’s interpretation of thrill rides, dark rides and ‘live’ shows that make up a new fantasy amusement park dreamed up by the show’s cantankerous Krusty the Clown.”
