Now, thanks to an upcoming renovation at Universal Studios Orlando Resort, fans of "The Simpsons" can immerse themselves in the town which Newsweek once dubbed "America's Crud Bucket."

The renovation will expand around the popular "The Simpsons Ride" which opened at the theme park in 2008, with a full city street giving visitors a chance to walk the streets of Springfield.

"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," said Jeffrey Godsick, president of Fox Consumer Products. Other notable landmarks that appear in the artist's rendering of the new addition include the Lard Lad Donut statue, The Android's Dungeon and Baseball Card shop, and a Duff Brewery with microbrewed Duff Beer. Gummy Beer, anyone?

Additionally, the "Kang & Kodos Twirl 'n' Hurl" ride will be included, in which the former presidential candidates will take "'foolish humans' on an intergalactic spin designed to send them into orbit."

Mark Woodbury, President of Universal Creative, added, "This will be a must-see experience for Simpsons fans all over the world. 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.?

No official date has been announced, but the corner of Springfield will reportedly open to the public sometime this summer.

Last time i was in Orlando was in 2008. Since then i had 2 kids but they are too little to take them there. Need to wait probably another 2 years before going there.

Or we (the wife and i) can ditch the kids with the grandparents and go there by our selfs :D

    • Most AI-powered mainframe migration vendors expected to fail by 2030, Gartner warns

      Most AI-powered mainframe migration vendors expected to fail by 2030, Gartner warns by Paul Hill Credit: Pexels You may have read that many companies still run code written in ancient programming languages like COBOL and pay a handsome sum for those who can maintain that code. Well, it looks like this area of the tech world could be the scene of an AI bubble. It turns out that there are mainframe exit vendors, helping companies move their legacy mainframe systems to modern cloud environments or servers such as Microsoft Azure and AWS, using generative AI tooling. Unfortunately, 75% of these vendors are now expected to pivot or cease operations as market realities take hold by 2030. Alessandro Galimberti from Gartner said: Some of the companies in the mainframe exit market are IBM, 21CS, BMC, Broadcom, Rocket Software, DXC, GTSG, and Kyndryl. The reasons some of these firms are expected to quit the market are a reset of market expectations and a decline in demand for one-size-fits-all migration solutions. The reset in expectations is likely to be driven by cost overruns and threats to business, and the potential occurrence of critical failures within businesses as a result of bad transition implementations. These insights from Gartner are pretty interesting because it’s a specific area of the market where doubt is being cast on generative AI. Many people have cast doubt on whether AI companies will successfully justify the massive amounts spent on GenAI to date, and this data from Gartner suggests the road could be rocky for GenAI.

      If you have the budget...! Some solo or indies just want to either learn or start their game and aren't in a capacity to pay salaries or to contractors... Get real.
