I am huge fan of the Simpsons. So as a first time visitor to Universal, I thought this area of the park was cute.
Remember to look up and about to see the little details such as Sideshow Bob escaping from the penitentiary, and Nelson fishing from the second floor police station window. Peer into the first floor window of the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant… go ahead and press the red button if you dare!
