Greetings, Adventurers!
Today's Resort Update covers the
much-anticipated Grand Opening celebration of The Simpsons Ride
at Universal Studios Florida, as well as a handful of photos
from recent construction on the new Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit
attraction. To view a video of the Opening ceremonies, please

grand opening photos and go straight to Rockit construction,
jump to the last page of the update.



The weather couldn't have been better for a grand opening.

The attraction was roped off with a Simpson-ized
"yellow" ribbon.

Employees passed out large "Marge" wigs to the crowd.



The crowd continued to grow throughout the morning.

A live band, set up to play the theme song to the
Simpsons, was conducted by a man in Krusty the Clown
make-up.


Universal Creative Studios producer Mike West, and
President of Universal Creative Mark Woodbury were amongst
the crowd.
