"Simpsons" Springfield being built in Universal theme park

Woohoo! 'Simpsons' fans rejoice! Universal Studios is building Springfield by Sandra Gonzalez

OMG! OMG! OMG!

This could be the greatest news for Simpsons obsessives since those 7-Elevens were converted into Kwik-E-Marts to celebrate the release of the Simpsons movie.

Springfield, home of the three-eyed fish and hometown of Jebediah Springfield, is becoming a reality at Universal Studios� Orlando amusement park.

While rumors have been floating for a while, Universal Studios officially announced today that they are expanding the area around the Simpsons Ride in Orlando to include an entire area that mimics the streets of Springfield. �And yes � there will be Duff Beer,� a release said.

Some of the attractions will include a Krusty Burger, a Lard Lad donuts, and, of course, Moe�s Tavern. There will also be a new Kang & Kodos-themed attraction. (Personal hope: the gift shop only sells �Bort� license plates.)

I�m thrilled. Also, can I just say it�s about time? I mean, Harry Potter fans have an entire Wizarding World of fun, and while I�m totally happy for them, it brings me great joy to say Simpsons fans will get to enjoy the Krustyest place on earth.

Yeah, that turned out to be a whole bunch of nothing. This will likely be no different.

I would like to talk to the 1990s... Did it leave a call back number?

A decade ago this would have been a good idea.

I've heard of "Nervous Nellies"....

I found it in "Ned's Book of Names" (http://www.snpp.com/guides/flanders.file.html), and it's from THOH V :

   Ned: Oh!  I see by the Big Board we got a Negative Nellie in Sector
        Two.  I'm afraid I'm going to have to ask the whole family to
        kind of freeze and prepare for Re-Neducation.

I also think it sounds fun. But they're right, this would have been HUGE 20 years ago.

I've had this idea for a Futurama episode based around a Simpsons Theme Park that I'd love to pitch to 30th Century FOX. Now it's more relevant, but Futurama is canceled, so...

Sure, why not. It'd make it at least slightly more interesting.
