Simpsons exterior is wrapping up at Universal Studios Florida

February 18, 2008, 11:38 PM · On my trip to Universal Studios Florida this weekend, I was lucky enough to catch a glimpse "behind the fence" at the new Simpsons Ride.



From what I could see, it looks like they are just about done with the sidewalk out front, and the building looks ready, although I did hear a rumor about a giant Krusty the Clown Face going up on the building.

The "Kwik-E-Mart" gift shop redesign was done well, and there were also several carts selling Simpsons Merchandise around the World Expo area. Now all we need is an opening date, and it'll be time to plan the return trip!
