Okay but the ride kinda sucks, the building and system are 33 years old and everything about it feels dated, it’s the slowest loading ride in the park with an incredibly clunky queue and it’s in a prime location at the very center of the park.
I guess the “all traces of Simpsons must be covered or demolished by 1/1/2028” thing was made up or exaggerated, but I still think the lands days are numbered.
Even if it’s like, 8 years from now instead of two, the only reason I can think of as to why demolition wouldn’t be on their list of priorities is if they wanted to hold the rights hostage by keeping it open as long as they can. But I don’t even think the merch is making them that much money. I see a fair amount of people with the giant donut, but that’s about it.
