Universal's theme parks and the longest running sitcom on television, The Simpsons, will soon be teaming up for a new attraction. The Simpsons will soon become the inspiration for the world's most exciting new theme park ride.

Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa and Maggie Simpson - stars of TV's longest running series - will ride along with guests in a new mega-attraction opening at Universal Orlando Resort and Universal Studios Hollywood in Spring 2008.

Guests will be rocketed along with the Simpson family on a hysterical, adventure as they experience a side of Springfield previously unexplored. Riders will enjoy the new ride's interpretation of the thrill rides, dark rides and "live" shows that make up a new fantasy amusement park dreamed up by the show's cantankerous Krusty the Clown.

Universal's creative team is collaborating with The Simpsons Creator and Executive Producer Matt Groening and Executive Producer James L. Brooks to create and open this attraction. The ride will also feature the show's classic humor and many of its instantly recognizable characters - all voiced by the original actors.

The Simspons Attraction will launch in early 2008 at both Universal Studios Hollywood and the Universal Orlando Resort .
