Springfield Expansion

[Shadow Carelli]

It seems to me that if they finish the storefronts before the expansions is actually ready to open the photo ops would build more hype and excitement for that area. I guess with the space that is available they wouldn't want a lot of people stopping at taking pictures, maybe when they are able to move the walls out more and when it is closer to open.

I remember Quick-E-Mart opened a while before The Simpsons ride, and everyone wanted picks in front of it, they were all over the place.

Looking at the layouts, I think the interior of Krusty Burger may come out to be quite awkward. Like basically just a hall to the back, some seats on the right side and maybe a Coke Freestyle refilling station on the left? It just looks like the interior left side would be some weird triangle that would be difficult to make useful.

Then with Android, around the side is there going to be a wall or just be open to the bathrooms? That would not look to good if it was just a store "front" and no side where there is obviously no space, a 2-D store.

They could extend the wall over the current bathroom doors and add it to The Android's Dungeon and add new doors to both the bathrooms and have geeky gender names for booths rooms like a name for male or female from Star Trek or some other fantasy franchise.

It's been my understanding that nothing besides Moe's will truly have an "interior". These are all just facades leading to the same open interior set up as IFF.

Krustyburger will feature a front door entrance and then in the back there will be an opening that does indeed lead into a hallway of sorts. As for the interior it's definitely an odd shape but will feature seating only, no free style machines. Those will be located in the main hall. Oh and each area will have unique theming to match its exterior.

Is the hallway of sorts the one that will run behind the Androids facade?

Correct Felipe

 

[natespf]

Yes, see that is what I was thinking.

Maybe it would be more like.

They both seem pretty awkward on the KB side, but KFP would just flow with the common area.

I do like how Moe's is looking pretty accurate with the show too! Just instead of a door to the bathroom like the show, an opening to the common area.

Your second image is very close to reality. I posted the following in this thread back in February . . .

Are they just facades on the front or will the service counters be close to their facades? (As opposed to the counters being centralized)

 

[bobwadd]

Service counter will be centralized. Remember the service line at IFFF :thumbs:

As HtF stated, Moe's will have a bar though.

 

[Hatetofly]

Service counters centralized to the left and back behind KFP just like the IFFF.

I never actually went into IFFF when it existed. How did it look? and is each place going to be greatly themed to the actual restaurant? like I know KFP and Krusty Burger connect but are they each themed inside?

 

[bobwadd]

I believe HtF already stated that each area will be themed accordingly :thumbs:

This site has some pictures inside the old IFFF http://www.orlandoinformer.com/universal/international-food-and-film-festival/

From this past Saturday . . .

I actually saw the operator hit "Little Tykes" for a rather large kid. He barely hit the High Striker target and won a prize.

There was a line most of the day. They really raked in the money!

 

[Shadow Carelli]

Sorry, this might have already been clarified, how much does it cost to play any of the games in the Simpsons area?

 

[bobwadd]

^ I believe the High Striker was $5 for three swings.

Do you only get a prize if you get it on the first try? That's how it is at Busch Gardens in the game area.

 

[JungleSkip]

Yea....not a fan. The tower looks fine, but that big gate and fence ruins it.

You get a prize if you make it on any of the three tries.
