Race Through NY Starring Jimmy Fallon

[AlexanderMBush]

Jimmy Fallon just posted this on his Facebook:

Coming to Universal Orlando in 2017. Race Through New York. #TonightShowRide

Personally saying; at Iaapa last year, there was a bit of promo art focused with Jimmy in a car that in a way, looks just like that. It'll be interesting to see how the rides handled; but I am very curious on how it'll be using its ride tech to the fullest.

Dunno if anyone saw this, but Fallon's tweet says "Spring 2017", which lines up with what I've heard for opening.

I've always thought Spring for Fallon as well. Fall for F&F.

Sure, but this is the first "official" confirmation of that

Please take note, the SS has something interesting to it now..which should make people excited.

EDIT: Three floors now..

I find this to be such an odd addition to the attractions line up....?

If it is how I think it'll be, I think it will be a solid addition to the park.

Which is what?

Which is what?

A Soarin' type ride with some comedy mixed into it. I love Soarin' as a ride so it could just be me.

 

[Nick]

I'm actually looking forward to this in some ways. It's F&F eating up so much land that sort of turns me off.

So many exciting things being talked about today...........and this.

Why!!!????

If I'm not mistaken Teebin (think it was he) said there would be two theaters, so are we looking at a setup a la Simpsons, two theaters, both multiple levels? Also, I think this was once rumored to begin like a regular theater and then it begins to become a flying theater and individual levels rise above another, is this correct?

To me, the more I see of Fallon; the more optimistic I get for the attraction. As said, greatly; [HASHTAG]#knightupforfallon[/HASHTAG] and even then, I find so much pontential can be done in the humor. I don't care for story in this one, I care for the comedic jokes they could bring, and hopefully having some cameos in of SNL stars.

Problem is if they use static footage then it loses the reride, a couple of times yes but 20 - 30?

99.99999999999999999999999999% of people are never going to ride this more than 2x, let alone 20-30

Completely agree with you. But I agree it will be nice to have a good humor ride.

My issue is it clearly looks like this is going screen route, with Kong, F&F, I mean jeez layoff the goddamn screen approach??

The concept sort of reminds me of that old Sounds Dangerous show with Drew Carey at Hollywood Studios. Pretty sure I've only done that once in all my times going to Disney.

This concept sounds more interesting, but then again, I only did Twister once every few years. I see this being the same case

Yea, I'd ride Kong before comparing it in any way, shape, or form to F&F and Fallon, not to mention waiting to see what F&F actually will be.

Kong is on a whole different level.

You're right. I guess i just mean I think its an odd addition with Kong and F&F on the way already. Not to mention being settled right next to Minions haha

Maybe it will turn out to be Jimmy Fallon and the Adult Minions haha

I still think the ride system is going to be fairly different than Minions, at least from the pictures of construction we're now seeing.
