just got off the phone with Universal and they are expecting the ride to open "any day now" they are close to being done and when I asked what the ride was suposed to like all they told me was "it is a mega atraction" so whatever that means I have no idea but it sounds to me that it is going to be more than just a simulator

I wouldn't get to excited by the website, i have been visiting that site every week for the last six weeks, and it always says "soon" (my son is a big Simpsons fan also.)

This is the latest news from wikipedia, who i find are usually correct in their information...

<span style="color:blue">Florida

The construction began at Universal Studios Florida in May 2007, shortly after the announcement of the ride's construction. In February 2008, the original concrete on the ground from Back to the Future: The Ride was dismantled. In early March, the attraction's construction accelerated by building an extended queue simulating circus tents, and the huge Krusty the Clown head was started.Construction was completed on March 30th, 2008, and although Universal executives had been tentatively planning the opening of the attraction at the end of March, 2008,the attraction has yet to open. Reports in the travel industry place the opening date on May 15, but Universal has neither confirmed nor denied this date.</span id="blue">
