Hello Fellow Tapped Out Addicts!
Level 33 has brought us the Sunsphere! Since it’s another one of those additions to the game that may leave some tappers scratching their heads (after all it’s not in Springfield) I thought it’d be fun to break down the Simpsons connection.
Simpsons Connection
The Sunsphere is from a 1996 episode of the Simpsons “Bart on the Road”. In the episode Bart spends the day at the DMV with Patty and Selma. When they’re not looking he makes a fake driver’s license.
After seeing a brochure for the World’s Fair, Bart uses the fake ID to rent a car and drive Milhouse, Martin and Nelson to Knoxville, TN. They arrive in Knoxville only to discover the World’s Fair was actually in 1982 and the Sunsphere has been renamed the Wigsphere, since it’s now wig warehouse.
Real World
The Sunsphere is a real attraction in Knoxville that was built for the 1982 World’s Fair. In 2007 the Sunsphere was renovated and restored. It’s now a 266ft multi-level restaurant with observation decks. Not a wig in site!
Will you be adding the Sunsphere to your town?
I’m on level 43 how do I get the sphere? Not to mention I’m missing a quest somewhere, I say that because I didn’t get the wax museum or that quest. Please help
You just buy it. There’s no quest for it, you just buy it in your store. (both of them)
awesome, i had no idea this was a real building.
