Springfield is open!!!!

[rowan555]

I made another trip to Universal today and saw that the workers were now riding Kang and Kodos in test mode. It's a step up from the empty cars and test props that they were using earlier. I'd think the ride should open this week based on the current testing.

The area seems to be well packed now with people checking out all of the new stuff.

THANKS for this update - we will be there in 9 days, and I am really hoping it's open by then!

I'm still waiting for duff beer bottles and cans to take as souvenirs!

We are true Simpson fans in this household. All of us play the Tapped Out game together.

What other info are you looking for? There is a menu list in the food sticky.

Is there an Express Pass line for this? Is there a photo op on the ride? THANKS for posting these photos! We will be there in 7 days and I was hoping it would be open by then.

There was no express, nor was it necessary. Quoted time was 20, took 10. Loads pretty quickly, unlike one fish, two fish next door.

No ride photos.

Okay, thanks! The load time seemed like it might be really long, so I was curious.

I didn't even think to look in the general food sticky for Springfield's menus (D'oh!)

Heeeyyy Damo... I still can't find any menus for the Springfield restaurants (both dine in & CS). Am I over looking them?
