About The Attraction
Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa and Maggie Simpson – stars of TV’s longest running series – will ride along with guests in a new mega-attraction opening at Universal Orlando Resort in Spring 2008.
Guests will be rocketed along with the Simpson family on a hysterical, almost unimaginable adventure. They’ll experience a side of Springfield previously unexplored as they enjoy the new ride’s interpretation of thrill rides, dark rides and “live” shows that make up a new fantasy amusement park dreamed up by the show’s cantankerous Krusty the Clown.
-- thats all it says it doesnt actually tell you what it is?

Well since they don't seem to be doing much more than reusing the same structure one would assume the technology will be the same. We can assume they will put in new ride cars (obviously), new theming and such but there hasn't really been enough significant structural changes to indicate any new sort of ride system will be put in place.
Everything I've seen here and on the Universal statements points to a simulator, sort of a cross between BTTF and Jimmy Neutron.
Well, more BTTF with a new movie, but they might suprise us.

It is going to be a ride system much like, but not the same as BTTF, with new projection system, new ride cars, new ride movements all enclosed with in the same building as BTTF.

They have been working on this attraction for a while, but when are the soft openings?

Universal really hasn't offered much in the way of information about this attraction. I'm actually glad that has been the case because it'll be nice to be surprised during my first ride instead of knowing exactly what to expect.

I've heard its March too. Seen some pictures of the Kwik-E-Mart and there looks to be some great stuff to buy. Homer, Bart and Duff beer T-shirts. Can't wait to get there to have a good look.

Hopefully, it's more like the Simpsons Movie(ROCKED!!!) and less like the Simpsons Game(SUCKED!!!).
The ride page has now been added to Universals website: http://www.universalorlando.com/usf_attr_simpsons.html

I hope they get more "Ride" merchandise. There was only one child's ride shirt, no adults. The rest of the merchandise was all generic Simpsons stuff.
Surely they will, I was just hoping for some last month on our trip.

I used to be a HUGE Simpsons fan, but the episodes have been bad to mediocre at best for years now. Its a shame that they didn't get a ride, and a movie, in their prime. This ride seems about 10 years too late.
Also, I'm sure there will be a few uninspired knocks at WDW in this, too... sigh.
