Friars Good Food is a parody of "Bobs Big Boy" , a famous diner in Burbank, California.
This fusion of Fairtale and Beverly Hills theming continues throughout the area.
It features a faithful, pun filled recreation of Far Far Away's Rodeo Drive inspired main street.
Far Far Away is the Shrek inspired area at the park.
An overview of the two layouts.
The Krustyland park map.
Guests enter Krustyland to try out its newest attraction with the Simpsons, but Sideshow Bob wreaks havoc and ensures it's not a pleasant ride.
The Simpsons Ride replaced back to the future, as an overlay on the existing simulator system.
The ride really is one of the world greats.
Loading of the ride takes place in the room of requirement. The benches move along continuously and guests board on a moving conveyor belt, with the benches attached to the end of robotic arms that run along a track through the building. However this robotic mechanism is hidden from view behind a wall in the loading station. The result is 4 minutes of being tossed and turned and flipped through a chaotic dark ride in a manner normal tracked rides cannot achieve.
As you approach the loading area, hogwarts famous "Sorting Hat" rattles off a poem explaining the saftey instructions for the ride.
Inside the common room, various portraits jabber on about the sport of Quiddich, a ball game played on flying broomsticks, that is the most popular sport amongst witches and wizards. You're set to be flown to the inter house quiddich game via enchanted benches.
The 'fat lady' portrait (portrayed by Dawn French) guards the entrance to the Gryffindor common room. Gryffindor is one of the 4 houses at Hogwarts, and the one Ron, Harry and Hermione belong to.
The halls of the school are filled with talking portraits. The screens behind them have had a special coating put on, that gives the effect of it actually looking like a talking oil painting.
Classroom theming.
The queue then enters a classroom, and Harry, Ron and Hermione appear from underneath an invisibility cloak. They warn you your visit to the castle will involve a 3 hour lecture on the history of Hogwarts. They however tell you that there is a quiddich match on, which will be far more interesting, and they plan on flying you there to see it!
Some of Professor Dumbledores collections.
Your first stop is Professor Dumbledores office. As the school headmaster, he welcomes us "muggles" (The term of witches and wizards for those without magical powers) to the school.
Not to worry, you get to see some other stuff as you progess further.
More statues.
