Last night, the construction walls came down around
Kang & Kodos' Twirl 'n' Hurl, and this morning the first guests were allowed onto
Universal Orlando's newest ride. The attraction as a Dumbo-style spinner themed after the
evil aliens from
The Simpsons' "Treehouse of Horror" episodes, and is located in the
new Springfield U.S.A. area of Universal Studios Florida, next to Duff Gardens.
Universal is currently prohibiting on-ride photography, but we have the first footage of the ride operating for guests, shot ringside from the front of the queue. Note the cartoon character cutouts attached to the tentacles around the ride perimeter, which spin and spew quips when the flying saucer-styled ride vehicles are flown at the correct altitude.
