I think more is probably on the way. They aren't going to spill too many beans yet.

If you click onthe two peep holes it gives a brief description about the theme of the attraction in case anyone missed them.

I guess that's the beauty for them. Spring gives them about a 3 month window.

I hope that rumor is true. I will be going the week of March 16th. I really hope that it will be open. It will be a real disappointment if it don't. cause then it will be another year before we will be back there.

I think the most you could hope for around March 15th is a very soft opening. Team members for the ride aren't being called until the 2nd so supposedly the 15th would be way too soon for an opening.

Got this email today:

"Woo Hoo!" The Simpsons Ride™ is almost here!

This spring, we're adding animated fun and excitement as FOX's blockbuster hit series, The Simpsons, becomes the inspiration for the world's most highly anticipated new theme park ride at Universal Orlando® Resort.

You'll be rocketed along with the Simpson family to experience a side of Springfield previously unexplored as you 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.

Keep checking your email for an opening day announcement! In the meantime, CLICK HERE to learn more about the Simpsons ride.

Spring doesn't even start until March 21(approx). ROTM was slated for "Spring 2004" and it didn't officially open until May.

"Spring" = BIIIIG window.

I just spent a week looking after my son, who's recovering from knee surgery (torn ACL), and we spent a lot of time watching vintage Simpson's episodes on DVD, which of course I justified as much need research for reviewing the Simpson's ride.:cool1:

We'll be there end of April 23-27th. Hope it's open by then!!

I do remember ROTM had a soft opening, and we rode it A LOT! Many of the effects were not working yet, like the mummys standing up and the fire, but it was still great fun and a cool thing to ride before everyone else.
