I have been a Simpsons fan from the get go. I adore them and all the folks in Springfield. So I was excited to ride this. I did not read any reviews before so I went into this adventure very green.

Anyways, this four minute ride is over 16 years old. Each ride vehicle has two rows of seats each row seating up to four people. It has built in speakers and has hydraulic movement in a stationary position. The vehicle shakes about simulating a roller coaster ride. So for folks easily susceptible to motion sickness, be aware. The ride uses 3D animation shown on an IMax screen placed right in front of the vehicle. A bit outdated technology compared to all the other current type rides at the park. I sat in the back row of the cabin and could not see the bottom half of the screen. That center of the screen is about at eye level. It would be more ideal if the screen was lifted higher above the riders eye level so the while screen can be seen regardless of seat placement.

The express queue for the Simpsons Ride did end up with the non express folks. We were merged and directed into lines. We waited in an enclosed room with a low ceiling, the room was decorated as a carnival midway. If riders are claustrophobic, this ride may not be the ideal since the low ceiling seem to make the room more confined. Monitors with various Springfield characters appeared providing the s entertainment. Each line of folks were lead a small room also with a low ceiling. It seemed smaller than 10' x 10'. The staff closes the door and leaves us in there to watch the monitor for the pre-ride show. After the video, a staffer opens the adjoining door and ushers us into the room with the ride vehicle. It is a free for all at this point for seating. Crazy. So if you are adamant on sitting in the primo front row, stand closest to the adjoining door when viewing the pre-show. I wish the staff would number folks to keep the lineup from the larger queue so it does not end up in the inevitable shoving...

The line wait for Express pass stated 30 to 40 minute wait. I almost backed out but we didn't. Afterwards we realized she must have meant including the pre-show, because we walked straight up to the number rows. Sat there for about 10 minutes watching The Simpsons (with a story line for the ride!) Then we were put into a small room with a total of 6 of us. There, we watched another small Simpsons clip before being let in to the car where we would watch a digital motion picture ride.

Disclaimer: The ride claims not to ride if you have motion sickness or claustrophobia. Both of which I have severely.... (I rode because my husband really wanted to ride it.)

I was unbothered by the claustrophobia. The room and car were not very bad! However, I ride many digital motion pictures attractions and can deal with the motion sickness quite easily. But on this ride-I was so sick!! I stayed sic for a good hour after the ride ended....
