You will careen and crash with Homer and Bart in an over-the-top adventure! This zany experience features more than 24 regular characters from the show.

  2. Kang & Kodos’ Twirl ‘n’ Hurl: This classic aerial carousel ride is perfect for younger travelers. Hop into a flying saucer! You help the hilarious, drooling aliens, Kang and Kodos, take over Springfield. It’s a silly, low-thrill, spinning ride.

Character Meet-and-Greets

Of course, you can meet the stars! You usually find the entire Simpsons family—Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa, and Maggie—ready for photos. Moreover, keep an eye out for mischievous favorites. You might even grab a selfie with Krusty the Clown or Sideshow Bob!

Springfield’s Famous Food Scene
