Tomorrow Universal Orlando will announce their Springfield expansion of The Simpsons Ride. Expected: Moe's Tavern, Krusty Burger, Cletus' house, Comic Book Guy's store and more.
So what will be in Cletus' House? Food? Ride?

I'm assuming it'll just appear like Potter did since it wasn't on the Today show.

Press Release -
Woo Hoo! Springfield, hometown to America’s favorite animated family, The Simpsons, comes to life at Universal Orlando Resort launching this summer.
The expansive, new area within Universal Studios will be anchored by the mega-attraction, The Simpsons Ride, and will allow guests to enter the world of The Simpsons like never before. It will be the only place in the world where guests can walk the streets of Springfield. It will include a brand-new outdoor attraction, places and foods pulled right from the show and two new Simpsons characters who will make their debut with the new area – Krusty the Clown and Sideshow Bob.
And yes – there will be Duff Beer, brewed exclusively for Universal Orlando.
For the first time ever – anywhere – fans will be able to walk down Fast Food Boulevard and visit the places that helped Springfield stake its claim as “Shelbyville by the Sea.” They will be able to grab a Krusty-certified meat sandwich at Krusty Burger, snatch the catch of the day at the Frying Dutchman, get a slice at Luigi’s Pizza, go nuts for donuts at Lard Lad, enjoy a “Taco Fresho” with Bumblebee Man and imbibe at Moe’s Tavern.
The new attraction – called Kang & Kodos’ Twirl ‘n’ Hurl – will take “foolish humans” on an intergalactic spin designed to send them into orbit.
“This will be a must-see experience for Simpsons fans all over the world,” said Mark Woodbury, President of Universal Creative. “For the first time ever, they’re going to be able to enter a world that they’ve only seen on television – and we’re really excited to bring that world to life.”
“This new expansion will broaden and deepen the already incredible experience at Universal, by bringing to life the iconic landmarks of Springfield that fans have grown to love,” said Jeffrey Godsick, President, Fox Consumer Products. “Fans will literally be able to live and breathe Springfield as they visit the statue of Jebediah, enjoy a Krusty Burger, and have a seat at Moe’s Tavern, which are just a few of the great experiences awaiting at Universal.”
“It has been an honor to bring the world of the Simpsons to life in such a letter-perfect way,” said Denise Sirkot, President, Worldwide Brand, Gracie Films. “Truly this is the Krustyest place on earth.”

Universal is killing it right now. One announcement after the other. I love it.
I want to know if there is any chance that "Kang & Kodos’ Twirl ‘n’ Hurl" could work like a combination of a normal spinner and the tea cups?
I would guess not, but, if the spaceships were built on top of the arms, could it work? It could certainly make you "twirl 'n' hurl"!

I'm thinking the space ships on the arms spin as well as go up and down around the ride.
Like this -
If that's the case, then that would be good, as, even though the addition is another spinner, it would be a version of a spinner that we don't have in WDW/UNI/SWO.

Fantastic stuff.
The ride is a letdown, just your standard bog ridden local theme park ride, but in a Simpsons theme tune.
The restaurants in that area were bog down rubbish before that, but they'll do well in a Simpsons theme.
Will Duff beer be alcoholic or some child drink ? Silly as that sounds.
Small lick of paint and a minor attraction takes a few months. Disney would have taken a few years just drawing up plans.

What were you expecting? We've known the new ride would be a spinner since it was first rumored. That's really all that would fit in that space.
