The Nighthawk Diner now costs 90 donuts (and will be available for purchase from July 11th to the 16th). It also now generates $500 and 45 XP every 24 hours when it used to generate $500 and 30 XP.

The Liberty Bell now costs $50000, when last year it was a free gift.
The Pinwheel Firework now costs 40 donuts, gives 400 Vanity points, and provides a 2% bonus. Last year it cost 30 donuts, gave 300 Vanity points and provided a 0.75% bonus.
The Crate of Fireworks now costs 60 donuts and gives 600 Vanity points, when last year it was 50 donuts and 500 Vanity points. Its bonus of 2.25% didn’t change.
The Lisa Liberty Statue now costs 75 donuts and gives a 2.75% bonus when last year it cost 65 donuts and gave a 2.5% bonus.
Many characters have been added to the temporary task Buy Fireworks which is used in All-American Apu’s quest The Rockets Red Glare Part 3.
Other changes in the game:
Tomacco is now a 30 minute crop. This arrived with the app store update.
Build times for a couple buildings have changed. Cletus Farm now builds in 15 minutes when it used to be an hour. The first and primary Krusty Burger builds in 3 hours when it used to be 12 hours (Krusty Burger franchises still take 12 hours).
Apu and Homer’s task to Relax in the Brown House was changed from 6 hour to 2 hours.
Chester Lampwick’s task to Star In A School Production Of Waiting For Godot from the quest Hobo You Didn’t Part 4 was changed from taking place at Springfield High School to Springfield Elementary.
A new character collection for July 4th 2014 was added, which contains Giuseppe and George Washington. Completing the set awards $500 and 10 XP.
With the app store update, this was set back to the way it was before, as in the higher rate. The previous change made Maude Flanders’ task to Get Revenge On Homer now awards $550 and 140 XP when it used to award $840 and 205 XP. But now it is back to the $840 and 205 XP rate!

so if you have say last years night hawke diner does it earn at last year's rate or this years?
This morning my town was still on Stonecutters so I hung on in the hope that I'd get all my emblems by tonight and get the table I wanted. Not to be unfortunately as it updated for me this afternoon. I was so close! Just needed 400 emblems to get to the 31,500. Ah well.
For those who haven't yet noticed there is currently a Yard Sale offering some limited time items back for a 2nd Chance. The only one that interested me was Mayan Marge & Mayan Homer which I think goes back to before I started playing.
I just got KBBL this morning. First time in ages that I am "ahead" of the game and literally waiting for nothing to be unlocked (apart from premium stuff I don't bother with). I'll still visit friends towns as I am now getting triple money (don't really need the money though but nice to have saved up for future releases).
Level 43 is here - Krustyland updates only as far as I can see
Yeah, it looks like more gameplay in Krustyland. I'm having problems with one of the quests though, you need Lou & Eddie and they won't come to Krustyland. I wonder if it's because Wiggum is already on a quest, will have to try again in the morning when he's free.

That confused me too- Lou & Eddie will only go to KL once the ferris wheel is built.
The update has given us the Itchy, Scratchy and Poochie balloons.
I bought the Scratchy and Poochie balloons and placed them. The princess icon then appeared and told me I had to place 2 balloons to start the quest. I stored them and tried to place them again by going in through the icon but it still showed 0/2 progress when I placed them both. I now have to buy these balloons again. The game won't even let me sell the other two. >:(

i tried this before and when i went to visit a neighbour it had a fit saying they were on a different version from me and i must upgrade.
That's a good haul. I have had a good number of donuts a couple times. Makes a change from a tree
Ditto. I've checked the Simpsons Tapped Out wiki regarding this event but I have to get more emblems so I forgot about the 4th of July gameplay.
I know monorail has been said a few times
No idea about the next event though. Halloween is still ages away (although I bet it is here before we know it).

I am writing the most crazy bananas update for Simpsons: Tapped Out that you will ever see in the rest of your given days.
Matt Selman @mattselman
@simpsonswiki Don't want to ruin the surprise. I think it will "drop" in September.

I'd try EA support on that one.
