During your wait in line, you get to see clips featuring the Simpsons throughout. They slowly tell a bit of a story as some context for the ride. The wait isnt too bad either, and the clips make it feel even faster. The actual ride is pretty nice, its not an actual roller coaster but you do get shaken around a bit while watching the video and while that doesnt explain it too well, Id say this is definitely a ride worth checking out.

Very fun ride for the family. It stays true to the Simpson show & has a lot of tied in details. You stay seated in a simulator the whole time.

One of the best attractions in the Universal parks. We keep coming back to this ride. Kids love it so much! :)

One of the most fun rides in the park! Awesome funny storyline and graphics. Family fun.

Great line with lots of Simpsons details to amuse you while you wait. Entertaining story in ride. Photo ops with characters. Unfortunately, of all the rides in the park, this one has the worst motion sickness rating. If you dont get cat sick, this ride gets top marks

One of the kiddos favorite rides. One of the reasons that we visited Universal Studios!They changed up the before ride videos, that was fun to see some up to date shows.Pandemic rules in place make the wait longer than other rides. But, you feel safe and everything stays very clean.

We loved The Simpsons Ride! I didnt know what to expect while waiting in the queue, but we were pleasantly surprised!

For simulation rides the Harry potters ones are better for adrenaline, and the Spiderman and Transformers one for experience. This is just gonna make your back hurts.

Very cool Simpsons based ride. Its like a virtually charged roller coasterinside of an episode of the Simpsons.

My kids loved the ride. Its too much movement for myself (3d simulator ride). During our last visit my kids went 2 times and still wanted to do it again.

The Simpsons ride formerly known as Back to the future. Is a little dated but still lots of fun.

One of the best rides here! Definitely worth the wait in line!

Excellent 3D ride!! All your favorite Simpson characters are here, so much fun!

Such a fun ride! The Simpsons have been a welcome addition to the park.

Its okay as a ride to wind down from a hot day or lunch. Years of use have made the screen dirty if you look closely enough. The ride is good though just not the most entertaining. Maybe a ride for the kids.

Fun ride. Not for everyone. Might be a little bad on people with bad backs

Super fun ride. One of the hotter lines to stand in. When the scent effect us on its fun to smell the baby powder!

It was fun. I definitely wouldnt take children on this ride.

Didnt know what to expect, but this is now by far one of the most exciting and thrilling rides Ive ever been on! I screamed and laughed the whole time.

This used to be the Back to the Future ride. Its a really great conversion that feels 100% Simpsons. Love the giant Krusty head.They changed the cars somewhat so you dont see other groups of riders, and dont hear other groups, which is cool & makes a better experience.Only complaint is it gets hot in the final waiting area before you board the ride.The whole Simpsons area is really great. Better than expected.

Ride was a blast. Didnt expect it to be as good as it was. Definitely worth a try.

Fun like we last remembered it, feels like youre on a roller coaster!

Thia was so much fun! Was not expecting this to be so thrilling!

Nice place and close to Silver Lake Resort.

Really enjoyed this one. If you like the Simpsons then its a must !!

Not bad could be better but really fun

It was fun and different!

Very nice ride. I initially thought its a kids ride but its entire family ride. The twist, turns and graphics would make even big guys to scream. Its funny too. The queue is usually long but worth the wait. Simpsons Rock..

How do you not love Simpsons? You just dont.I actually made Marge mad by telling Homer I loved him. This whole ride is great. Even though I miss back to the future this is still pretty darn fun.

Very cool ride and one of the longest ones at the park which is nice since you wait over an hour to go on.

Daughter loved it, 3D ride with semi motion simulation. We loved the queue! Will go again.

Pretty cool ride!! Love the simpsons

Long wait due to covid and reduced headcount per ride cycle but still entertaining

My favorite I recomended for all the family tha Best ride

It was good but not great. Still recommend it.

Always love this ride. It is just fun

Great Ride for kids and adults alike

Not gonna lie this ride scared the life out of me going back this weekend to face this crazy ride head on cant wait

A must visit if you are a Simpson fan. Line moves fast. Staff Is friendly and you can tale lots and lots of pictures. Bring your selfie stick so you won miss a shot. Time goes fast on the line as there are monitors and you can watch spots of Simpsons eposodes. Its fun Time!. Awesome

Very fun ride! Great for the whole family!

Not for the weak in body! Lots of movement that may cause discomfort later. Great ride though.

Effects are great and I am a huge fan of the simpsons

Fun ride, it is a 3D simulator on a 9 people cart. Not the best in universal but its worth for the fun and the whole staging which perfectly resembles the show.

We were pleasantly surprised by this ride. This is a huge imax theatre and your seats will get elevated to get immersed into that world. Super fantastic graphics, wait can be longer if you don’t have Universal Pass.

Fun ride if you love the Simpsons

Makes your eyes cross. Staff is very nice..and funny

Awesome ride had a phenomenal experience

That was fun. Cleverly done

The Simpsons ride it really cool, and there are other fun things to do at Springfield. So go ride it, then enjoy the many other attractions offered in that area.

We all loved this ride!

I like the high level better. But always a classic!

Motion 3D ride, pretty funny and cool. Front seat is not for those prone to motion sickness.

This ride is the perfect attraction for people who want to get horrible nausea. Outdated ride, blurry graphics, and no ventilation! Plus, with your mask, you can make yourself light-headed even faster. This ride is a lawsuit waiting to happen.

Enjoyed the 4D aspect of it, but the movement of the machine with the giant screen made me a little queezy. Rollercoasters and rides like Men in Black did not give me the same feeling as this ride. I love the Simpsons, and I thought they did very well making this into a ride though.

Superb Simulation after fast & Furious... One of my favorites at universal studios!we have visited this in off season so it was only 10 minutes wait for us. Lucky us :) as people have waited even 2-3 hours for this ride in peak seasonLove the simulator.When we got on the line, it was moving pretty slowly, but after about 20 minutes they opened up a new line for us and we were the first ones who got to head up the ramps. I love how they have constant clips running throughout the time youre in the queue. Simulated motion with Simpsons characters that Interact with you via video while youre in the interior queue. when we were in the lift, they show a cartoon and it was hilarious.After the little video in the room, you move on to the ride. You sit in a little car that tosses and turns during the simulation. It was like the whole room became a video. It was constant movement, which eventually got to me, but the video was great. The funny storyline and you really feel like youre in the video.the ride itself is a simulated ride, but it is great and will bounce you around even more than Spiderman. In fact, I believe it might be the best-simulated ride in the park along with Fast & Furious. You fly through Springfield and meet all the characters and have a wild experience. up and down, feels like your stomach is empty. You sit in a giant Krusty with two rows of 4, the ride goes up and down to a simulated roller coaster with a lot of stop-and-goes along the way. Even though its a simulated ride, and an animated cartoon, its so amazingly realistic that you feel as if you are on a moving coaster. Drops, dips, crazy movements.I cant be 100% sure, but this felt like one of the longer rides in the park and for a 20-minute wait it was well worth itRating - 9/10

Worst ride at the park. I got a headache, was nauseous, my neck hurt for a full day afterwards, and the animation felt old like the simpsons video game from back in the 00’s.10/10 would completely avoid this ride.I’m no wimp either, the mummy was smoother even when they slam on the breaks at the false ending before the mummy coaster continues... I would so much rather ride a real coaster than this bs excuse for an attraction.The simpsons ride - It’s like being at a movie except the cgi is worse than sharknado, and you get tons and tons of whiplash in your plastic bench seat.

Its a great simulator but if youre prone to dizziness or nausea this may not be the ride foe you

WHY replace Back to the future the ride. I know The simpsons tv show is good but why Back to the future the ride. the simpsons ride moves like star tours but in back to the future moves like a regular movie simulator. I like the restaurants and stores of springfield but not the ride. so whatever you do BRING BACK BACK TO THE FUTURE THE RIDE!!!!!!!!

Love this ride being a fan on The Simpson’s and some of the 3D motion rides at Universal.It’s action packed plenty of going on and a great feeling of being there and on a ride too.The only bad point and reason i gave it 4 instead of 5 rating is the seating setup, if your sat in front it’s x10s better compared to the rear seats where people in front obstruct your view especially my 10 year old who struggled more to see with tall group of adults sat in front... It needs rear seats risen to give people at the rear a less obstructive view whilst on the ride.

This was the first ride I done in universal and I went back on 3 times in total. Its brilliant and like nothing you have seen before. Its so realistic and you actually feel like you on a rollercoaster. If you a Simpsons fan make sure you dont miss this ride. Perfect ride for people who are scared of the big ones. Still very thrilling but very safe at the same time

Amazing and funny. Because its all right it doesnt require the special glasses, it doesnt interfere with the mask that you have to wear during the Covid 19 epidemic.

Imagine being sat down on a car that is meant to be a time machine but instead you follow the Simpsons around in a herky jerky destructive ride through a CGI mess. You are left at the end wondering why and never again.

Great ride. I remember when it was Back to the Future. Lines typically move fast and the experience is great. Some people tend to get motion sickness on this ride, even thought you never actually move from one spot. This is a ride for everyone to enjoy, even if you dont like the Simpsons.

Super fun and well worth the wait! The ride is nice and long!!

A very fun ride with the classic Simpsons twist. The theming here is on point.

This ride is worth the wait in line! Its super fun! I highly recommend this ride you will not be disappointed they really got creative with this one.

It was a fun old school simulator. It is not in 3d, nor does it have air ir water blowing on you to simulate movement. As one of the attendants described it, You look at a movie screen and are bounced around. I would think of it as a gateway ride to introduce children to 4d rides.

Brilliant ride. Last came here 4 years ago. Disappointing that they haven’t changed what you see yet sad this could be done

Fun ride, but some of the Simpsons clips were a bit gruesome (Itchy and Scratchy characters), especially for kids.

This was surprisingly one of the better motion simulators. The ride is not on a track, but still had a pretty good motion simulator effect. The ride was fairly intense for a motion simulator, which I really enjoy. The short wait time made it even better!

This was our second time doing the R.I.P tour. Our tour guide Logan was excellent! He really did an amazing job with our group. He explained every Maze and Zone in full detail. He even went though each one with us. Our tour guide last year didnt go through each one with us and it really makes a difference. The best part of the tour is no waiting in line for anything. It is worth every penny and we will be doing the R.I.P tour again next year

Favorite ride! My kids loved it.

One of the funniest rides at Universal hands down, the whole themed Springfield area around it is just as great.*SPOILERS AHEAD*For those of you unfamiliar with it, The Simpsons Ride follows “America’s favorite family” as they visit Krustyland, Krusty the Clown’s brand new amusement park. However, Sideshow Bob, their old nemesis, has broken out of prison and is on the loose in the park. As you’re selected to test Krusty’s newest ride, Bob hijacks the park and takes control of your vehicle. From that point on you’re in for the ride of your life as you soar across Springfield and beyond attempting to escape Bob’s traps by any means necessary. The most hilarious part in my opinion is the ride’s climax, where Maggie (now 50ft tall due to nuclear radation) gets her pacifier taken by Bob and grabs the vehicle to use as a substitute. When this happens a baby powder scent is sprayed into the vehicle and you get spat out and splashed with water. Though it’s nowhere near as good as the Harry Potter attractions, it’s still a real treat.

Impressive simulator ride. Went with a group of 6, wait wasn’t too long, and we all enjoyed this and thought it was worthwhile. Highly recommended!

This ride was great. Loved the illusion of speed it gives and I really believe that you are going through a real ride... Only got pulled out of the illusion by looking sideways. Great ride. Cant get wrong with Springfield.

Scary for younger kids with the theme being you are getting chased by a killer. Overall just okay.

It was very awesome.

The Simpsons Ride is always fun and funny. Try the Duff beer. Is really refreshing, always buy one everytime I go to this area.

Thought it would be outdated but it was pretty impressive and didnt require 3D glases like most similar rides

If you like the Simpsons and have watched the show for decades youll appreciate this ride even though its a bit outdated. The building and lead up to the ride are Probably the best part.

When I first went on this ride, I wasnt too impressed by the wait time, as it ended up being longer than the actual wait time. When we got on the ride, it actually ended up being shorter than the original time I rode it. Not only that, but it also became less intense than the original version. This is why this review is receiving 4 stars from me. But overall, this is a very fun motion simulator that I think people of all ages should ride.P.S. Watch the pre-show when you are in the standby line. Its hilarious! :-)

This is literally a reason to travel to America. As a Simpsons fan my entire life, they just nailed it. Theyve filmed a whole heap of supporting material so youre laughing out loud when standing in line. Its true to the show in every way, you feel like youre in an episode.

Fun! And different than the one in Cali.

It is good for family that have a child or more to ride.it has a fun story.you can expect it.

Great simulation roller coaster

This is a really Kool ride.

Definitely a great section of the park.

Great ride, I gotta love those inside jokes, it’s a very interesting simulator on how it works, this is a recommend and is worth the wait.

This ride never gets old !!!

A very enjoyable simulator ride featuring the Simpsons! Even though the lineup was long, it didnt take that long to get through it and onto the ride. Most of the time waiting was spent walking the length of the line to get to the actual ride. Actual time spent standing around waiting was under 10 minutes... the ride itself had a fun little story and plenty of twists, turns, and drops. Definitely not for the faint of heart, but not that bad overall.

This ride really surprised us. We thought that it was going to be pretty mild and more for younger kids. However, it was actually the most intense ride that we got on (aside from the roller coasters). We all loved it!! That includes our 12 year old, 17 year old and 21 year old. Great ride!!

Let me preface this with I dont do well on simulators with a lot of centripetal force. Ive done this once and it was fun in the beginning before I started to feel like I was going to hurl. This is not a ride for those prone to simulator ride motion sickness. I can do most simulator rides at Universal. This one is on my You guys go, Ill meet you at the exit list.

Once youre actually sitting down in the ride its pretty fun. The problem is that once you get to the front of the regular queue and youre split into groups you think youre about to get on the ride. You stand in that line for two or three loops of the video that sets up the story for the ride. Then you go stand in a small room with your group for another 10-15 minutes until you watch another short intro video. Then you can actually have some fun on the ride.Im not trying to discourage anyone, I think it just helps to know ahead of time what kind of waiting there is.

For being an older ride, I still loved it! Love the Simpsons. Ride made me a little queasy but was one of the more fun rides here.

No..... so stupid and not worth the wait

The setup is great! You are immersed in the show with the decoration, the sounds, and the great team members overseeing the lines, I also loved the safety video that is like a setting episode of the show itself.The ride itself feels its not that great. The movement of the car is very jarring and bumpy, like riding on rusty tracks. The animation is 3D, but very early 3D tech, and it feels dated when you see it, but the narrative is pretty funny.

The ride is big fun but again a screen based ride, what if you fill the building with a darkride system and you put some simpsons animatronics there? Maybe build a real krustyland? We really loved the whole springfield area and its theming.. So why not create a real simpsons ride instead of another simulator....The story was fun and all the small simpsons jokes make it a 4 star ride.. Not the ride itself

Great ride for younger kids. Very humorous and fun. Enjoyed it a lot, after all, it’s my last name!

Its a really fun ride, it is really realistic

Major points for theming and keeping things faithful to the TV show. Unfortunately, its only faithful to the dreaded later years of The Simpsons. Really pulls you into this crapsack world of unsafe amusement parks, poor customer service, and unrestrained capitalism. Unfortunately, the writing isnt stellar, the jokes and plot are forced, and I didnt find it that funny. Its amusing enough on its own, though, if a bit nauseating, so yeah-- its good.
