I haven't been there in years, which is ironic, given that of all the theme parks in Southern California, it's the closest. It's literally ten minutes away by car. When we drive to the main thoroughfare near our house, you can see the "Waterworld" show pyrotechnics at the other end of the street.
However, the ride I was looking forward to was The Simpson's Ride, which just opened a few weeks ago.
This ride is crazy! It's a motion-simulator-based ride, where your "car" rocks and moves in relation to the screen. And what a screen! The entire room is the screen, so you feel completely immersed into Springfield. The plot is simple: Sideshow Bob (voiced, as in the TV series, by Kelsey Grammar) tries to destroy the Simpsons (and you) on the ride.
The ride is full of Simpson's characters and is a total hoot. I can't wait to ride it again.
One warning, however. If you're sensitive to motion sickness, this ride will totally mess you up. So be warned.
Some photos of the ride's exterior:
You enter the ride through Krusty's mouth.
There was also a Kwik-E-Mart
You could take pictures with The Simpsons.

The ride was full of traditional Simpsons snarkiness.

That sucks about the motion sickness thing - means I can never go on it and you make it sound so good (which I'm sure it is).
Man...I sure want to go on that ride....
