The Future of The Simpsons Ride/Springfield (Orlando)

[mccgavin]

I wonder how feasible this would be. 50s / 2015 Hill Valley land taking the spot of Springfield?

I still believe razing the area from Animal Actors to the Coke Shack, then building fresh as Oz with an intricate dark ride, a new theatre and show, and a beautiful new Emerald City land + weenie would be ideal here.

If Wicked doesn't end up taking this spot (although even I am starting to suspect it might end up here), Hill Valley would probably make the most sense as a Springfield replacement. A lot of the existing infrastructure of the land feels like it could be rethemed to Hill Valley somewhat easily.

I just wrote a whole essay on why this is essential, at least for USH, in that parks thread but I’d like to add that it would be absolutely legendary and I think a first in theme park history…? For BTTF to become Simpsons and then go back to BTTF after decades.

I mean, I guess Beary Tales at Knotts had a similar journey, but that’s not an entire land

If that damn Institute building survives into another new decade, I am going to lose my mind.

HAHAHAHA

No, if they DO turn this back into BTTF it should be an entirely different land that’s more closely based on the movie. The original land really didn’t take advantage of Hill Valley at all. IMO they should split the town into three/four sections with elements from every time period.

RAZE THE BUILDING THOUGH. i never wanna have to ride that system again

I hope it'd be new stuff and not just rehashing what was there before. Lean into the immersive show they had at Fan Fest!

If they were to do it, I'd be hoping for a similar complete teardown and rebuild project as Oz to give us a more lush and walkable space with nicer storefronts than currently exist. Same location should definitely not mean same scope.

Yes, total tear down of the sim and Intl Food Fest area. BTTF the Ride was "modern" day that traveled to the future and deep past. So give us what we haven't got yet: 1950s Hill Valley.

My idea was always the BTTF version of the present day (2015 and beyond). But this would work—the lab techs did mention that Doc was conducting experiments back in ‘55.
