Simpsons Land at Universal’s theme park in Orlando now includes Krusty Burger and Moe’s tavern.
Fox and Pepsi once had a contest where the winner would get their own actual house based on the one in The Simpsons . Now Universal Orlando has gone all the way with it and made an entire theme park based on one of the longest running TV shows of all time. The Simpsons theme park is opening this Summer compete with the entire town of Springfield on one street.
Universal Orlando’s theme park seems to be focusing on food, as every store is based on one in the cartoon series. Aside from Kang & Kodos’ Twirl ‘n’ Hurl and the Simpsons Ride, you’re surrounded by places to stuff yourself like Homer. Krusty Burger, Moe’s Tavern, Lard Lad donuts, the Kwik-E-Mart, the Frying Dutchman, and Luigi’s Pizza run all along the Simpsons themed portion of Universal Orlando.
Krusty Burger is a shop featuring Krusty certified meat sandwiches, replicating the feel of the Simpsons show. Adding to the experience will be the new characters added to the cast to greet and such, Krusty the Clown and Sideshow Bob.
Throughout the theme park, Duff beer will be especially brewed just for the park. How cool is that?
Even Kwik-E-Mart will have its trademark humor surrounding it, with a picture of Apu over the door, a sign advertising the Squishee, and merchandise racks that say, “Come on, if you ran a store, I’d buy your junk.”
Fox consumer products president Jeffrey Godsick says:
“This new expansion will broaden and deepen the already incredible experience at Universal, by bringing to life the iconic landmarks of Springfield that fans have grown to love. Fans will literally be able to live and breathe Springfield as they visit the statue of Jebediah, enjoy a Krusty Burger, and have a seat at Moe’s Tavern, which are just a few of the great experiences awaiting at Universal.”
