FOX has announced a new episode of The Simpsons titled “The Kosmic Kruiser,” which parodies Disney’s short-lived Galactic Starcruiser immersive experience. In the episode, Bart and Lisa break into Krustyland’s failed spaceship hotel attraction, discovering it is not completely abandoned. The show features visual nods to the real Halcyon starcruiser, including a dim lounge with glowing bottles and uniformed cat crew members. YouTuber Jenny Nicholson, known for her detailed video about the Star Wars hotel, guest stars as a robotic voice named KIT-10. The episode airs on November 8, 2026, marking the sixth installment of season 38. This comedic take highlights the closure of the real-life attraction in September 2023 and its subsequent conversion into office space by Walt Disney Imagineering.
