Bubba Gump Shrimp restaurant at Universal Studios

Based on the movie, “Forrest Gump,” Bubba Gump Shrimp captures the charm and American spirit that made this movie so popular. The entire chain, including the Bubba Gump Shrimp Restaurant in Orlando, Florida are all decorated with videos of Forrest Gump movies playing, pictures of Forrest Gump characters and popular quotes from the movie.

There is always something fun going on for the kids and the host station out front is the bomb! Bubba Gump Shrimp is truly unique. It even features a “stop Forrest stop” and “Run Forrest run” license plate to draw the attention of your server.

However, the waiters are all very friendly, and they make sure you have a great time while you’re there. The atmosphere is indescribable… you simple have to see it to believe it.

Universal Studios the Simpsons ride review

The Simpsons ride at Universal Studios is one of the most popular rides there. Here’s a quick The Simpsons ride review at Universal Studios so you can decide if it’s a ride you want to go on.

This six-minute ride is based on the popular television series, The Simpsons. To enjoy this zany ride, you’ll have to walk through a giant Krusty the Clown’s mouth to get to the circus pavilion and Krustyland, a cheap theme park created by the clown. After seeing some “live footage” of the Simpson family on an outing at Krustyland, guests are taken to the ride.

Shortly after entering the ride vehicle, Sideshow Bob, recently escaped from prison, takes over the park and the car goes on a wild ride complete with crashes, thrilling drops, broken tracks, all sorts of special effects, and huge versions of the Simpson characters.
