America's favourite cartoon family is going to feel a little more lifelike this year as part of the Universal Studio's Theme Park in Orlando, Florida is turned into Springfield.
Visitors will be able to get 'Krusty-certified meat sandwiches' from a Krusty Burger, donuts from Lard Lad and beer at the Duff Brewery.
There will also be a Moe's Tavern along with a Cletus' Chicken Shack, a chance to snatch the catch of the day at The Frying Dutchman, eat a slice at Luigi's Pizza, and visit a Kwik-E-Mart. The longest running scripted show in television history, The Simpsons quickly became a cultural phenomenon in 1990 and has remained one of the most groundbreaking and innovative entertainment franchises.
Matt Groening created the iconic family: Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa and Maggie. The show is currently in its 25th season and about to air its 520th episode.
It's not the first time the theme park has recreated fictional food and places and brought them into the real world.
In 2010, Universal opened the hugely successful Wizarding World of Harry Potter which also saw recreations of food previously only found in the movies, made for public consumption.
The new Springfield attraction will anchored by the main attraction, 'The Simpsons Ride' which is already on site, and opened at the park in 2008. Guests are also treated to a 3-D drive around Springfield.
If only money was no problem, I would be there in a flash to try out a krusty burger
