Race Through NY Starring Jimmy Fallon

The benches in the upstairs lobby have charging stations while you wait!

Winner winner chicken dinner

I'm curious to see if people will still just stare at the peacock and 'scrum' towards the ride as soon as it changes to be first, like people do at airports when gates are announced.

Humans love being humans.

Not even an hour after the ride soft opens. Disney sure knows how to attempt to minimize the attention given to its competitors.

Very true. And then people will complain when they go up but it wasn't the right color cause you know "the customer is always right."

God this is funny as hell lmao

 

[rcoasterdude]

This dude is harsh as hell. Saying bad stuff about all of it including the queue.
Edit: Initail reactions say it's very cheap and not entertaining. Dull and Boring

So... this person didn't like the ride.

Well when you're determined to dislike something the moment you enter, that's usually what happens.

Make sure you watch the Ragtime Gals in the lobby upstairs. Awesome show.

 

[rcoasterdude]

K this ride seems very bad. But then again, I kind of like Minions

I can't believe how bad that looks for literally being brand new. If only Universal put as much effort into the ride experience as the facades.

Edit: Looking again, the reason for the faux wood could be that this is on the moving platform.

I'll wait on @BriMan opinion once he rides as his review is one I can trust.

 

[WAJAS]

It looks like they ran out of money by the time they began building the actual ride theater, but everything else (facade, pre shows, queue) are A+.

This seems to be the general consensus. Ride is lame, but everything else is awesome.

 

[twebber55]

im wondering what peoples expectations were? if its minions for adults im good
it replaces Twister for goodness sakes

 

[darkridelover]

They should have called this the "Tonight Show Experience". Because that's what it really is. From the first floor museum which is full of wonderful things, to the awesome lounge upstairs with interactive touchscreen tables, the the Ragtime Gals Show, the hashtag the panda show, the great moments montages from the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, and a decent ride that's more of a curtain call full of Tonight Show humor. It's a solid D-Ticket, and a great total experience. It's way better than Twister.

I'm not expecting much from the ride, but from those pictures seen from the theater, I'm not sure what y'all were expecting for a "tonight show" setting. It looks okay to me, especially as a filler attraction.

I'm really interested in seeing what the interior of the "queue" looks like.

More often than not the money is "shhhh!" diverted to supplement a different project. That would make sense here as no one in UC was truly thrilled with this project.

Everything I've seen of the interior on Twitter looks great.

 

[rcoasterdude]

Still waiting for someone to post a spoiler filled review as to why it's bad and provide a real explanation

 

[darkridelover]

The interior is Top Notch. I was on the same ride vehicle as ParkPass. We had significant delays getting a person of greater size into the vehicle. Which delayed the experience by 7 minutes. Rather than being patient of "technical rehearsal" aspect he decided to take his frustration out on the ride. Everything was well built. I would take his criticism with a grain of salt!

There's a lot of posts on the Orlando United twitter page for anybody needing to read right now:

I thought it was a solid C-ticket. The ride movements feel exactly like Star Tours. I would describe this as Star Tours with a Soarin' screen with elements of Despicable Me and Simpsons. Like there's moments straight from both Despicable Me and Simpsons. I've ridden it twice and had a smile on my face both times.

The seats are cheap feeling though. I'll give Park Pass that. They're very hard and not comfortable at all. Everything else Park Pass says seems like they went in wanting to hate it. The queue entertainment is very entertaining.

Edit: Also want to add that the 3D is spectacularly done and the CGI is top notch. I'd say it's on par, if not better than the CGI for Kong.
