Did You Know?

• Every frame of The Simpsons Ride—including the pre-show and queue videos—features entirely original CGI content created just for the attraction, not recycled episodes.
• This 2008 motion‑simulator show replaced the classic Back to the Future: The Ride, and even includes in-jokes like Comic Book Guy wearing Marty McFly’s futuristic jacket, plus a cameo by Doc Brown in the pre-show.
• The ride features 80-foot, high-frame-rate domed screens with motion simulation, smoke, mist, lighting, and surround sound. It’s thrilling—but if you’re sensitive to motion, be warned: Many guests report motion sickness afterward.

The Mouse For Less Tips

• The Simpsons Ride is fun for all ages, especially those who are true Simpsons fans. If you are not as familiar with the show, you should know that much of the humor is adult-oriented.
• If this makes you a little uneasy with the little ones, you can always watch a few episodes of The Simpsons ahead of time to know what you should expect. Who knows, you just might get hooked!
• Wait times can be so tricky. They vary on everything; weather, time of day, time of year, etc. If you are at the park and want to know the current wait time for The Simpsons Ride (or any of the Universal Studios or Islands of Adventure attractions), you can always download the official Universal Orlando Resort app and view their real wait times.
• The Simpsons Ride can make Guests a little queasy, as it is a traditional motion simulator. Be aware if you have issues with motion sickness.
