Springfield Expansion

[STL]

Thanks for changing the title of this thread although it confused me at first. Another sweet update, HTF!

 

[General Specific]

Even though it's not officially announced, I think a title change was warranted.

I just noticed this. Got excited for a minute at the prospect of an official announcement.

It's a vicious cycle though as now they'll exit to a lackluster Kid Zone.

For now.

Also, I have to say HTF, as a huge Simpsons fan, that facade next to Kwik-E-Mart looks nothing like KFP. Looks like Gulp'N'Blow to me.

I wouldn't be too soon to judge. It's definitely not as far ahead as Moe's :wave:

 

[JungleSkip]

True. But judging by the sign location it's what it looks like.

Honestly, Gulp 'n' Blow, as :ack: as that name is in a theme park, makes more sense in a Simpsons land than a parody restaurant that you can see in a cheap amusement park.

Do you see a Krusty Burger sign yet? If it was just the Gulp sign, do you think it would be built so far back into the roof?

It doesn't look totally like GnB or like KFP. But KFP's design would just look much better, and fit much better between the Kwik-E-Mart and Moe's.

HTF's photos did not capture the new trees added behind the wall, I expect the path to be done in the coming weeks

Gotta get the path open so we can close the other half of the waterfront

The Springfield addition is being counted on to be a HUGE money maker for in park spending while Transformers would be "more" of an actual attendance draw.

Agreed, it is mostly shops and places to eat. Which can I just say how much Uni needs diversity in their counter food?!? When I was there this weekend my options were pizza, burger, chicken strips, or hot dogs!!! I really hope there is more than that in the new place. I am loosing hope with this since one is Krusty Burgers, do we really need another burger place, there is already two dedicated burger places.

Well it does look like KFP will be the sign, and I never thought about Gulp 'n' Blow in this area, but when it comes to branding the Simpsons Gulp 'n' Blow would be more recognizable to people than KFP.

I think it's going to be a long shot, but it would be something easy for Universal and Fox Entertainment to do, but I think there should be direct synergy between Simpsons Tapped Out and this new expansion. Some sort of in park exclusive item would be awesome. Scan a QSR code and you get this item.

Somehow I don't think so...

Gulp 'N' Blow would be slightly more recognizable than KFP, but it wouldn't offset the amount of guest complaints about the name, especially being so close to kidzone.

That would be awesome! Considering the app has grossed over $1 billion (some of my money went into that :look, this would be a hit and bring more guests to the game.

Springfield Announcement is being prepared, not sure of a date but its coming very soon.

Do you know if it will be like the Transformers announcement where they announced it on the lagoon?
