Springfield Expansion

[aheying7]

Maybe I'm just missing something here but he does indeed say something about them opening the Simpsons attraction "about a year and half ago"?!? I get that he's a chef and doesn't deal with the attractions that much, but I still feel like he should know better than that.

I chuckled too. I also thought it was weird when he mentioned Simpsons books....those don't exist...right?

There are comics (I think.) Also, UC had a Simpsons Encyclopedia (that they had tabbed and annotated) on display in Moe's at the media event.

Yeah, they sell a whole bunch of Simpsons comic books in the Quick-e-mart. They're behind the register on the back wall.

I have a couple of Simpsons episode guide books

Yep, I believe he's referring to the Simpsons comics. They've been around for years and are very popular.

Honestly, I think he has such a canned response from answering the same questions about Harry Potter that he just continually makes the mistakes about naming the books.

It's cool though, because I know he is all about the food and isn't always up to date on the latest on the Simpsons, as noted by him saying the simpsons ride has been opened for a year and a half.

Agreed. He's in "Potter Auto-Pilot" mode.

His video interview gives away a small change or two made to FFB since the planning stages.

Like Lisa's Healthy Corner? That's the only thing I caught.

Also the name Fast Food Alley.

Thanks for the pics! My bar is almost ready!

Also the name Fast Food Alley.

I honestly think he just got that wrong. It's FFB on the new themed signs outside of the food court.

Yeah but was FFB the original name? :look:

Ah, I see. Didn't really read your original post so I missed that. :thumbs:

The banners are all gone

The FFB banners? Alley sounds better to me... as I think of the simpsons as white trashy.

Steve Jayson seems like a really good person and a class act. And what a track record. He comes across as a regular guy, but with a real passion for his career. He'd probably be a great guy to have as a boss. Universal lucked out when they hired him.

While I respect him for his talents and what he's accomplished w/ UO foodservice, I can assure you pretty much all of your assumptions are incorrect. To this day, I still can't believe how unprofessional a person of his level was behind the scenes to his employees. He's as "old school" as they come, Gordon Ramsey-like.

Mercy! Possibly insightful! Anyone else on here ever worked for him?
