Race Through NY Starring Jimmy Fallon

[Teebin]

My goodness, it's as though I had visions...

I'm actually really excited about this! From that description it sounds like there may be a whole lot more to this beyond the ride. Actually feels like it's a better fit for that area than Twister was as it brings in the history of the show, adds to the studio feel, and ties into to NY.

That's gonna look great and I'm loving all the little extra bits to do with the history of the show etc. I know people say we're moving away from soundstages, but this is the most real type set we've had in a long time in a lovely looking façade! Should be good.

First ever flying theatre though? What do they classify all the others in the world then, or is it because of the different style this is having?

They probably have some sort of technicality to where they can classify it as a "First Ever". Saying something is a first of it's kind is always a great marketing/selling tool.

They designed theirs with Legos instead of an Erector Set.

Immediate reactions:
1) They put a lot of effort into this. I don't like Jimmy Fallon in the slightest, but this is a lot less lazy than the concept could have been.
2) THE ROOTS doing the music for the ride is incredible
3) The façade is great, and from that art it looks like the rest of the soundstage will be covered by a mural, which is good
4) The ride system is a "first", meaning it should be at the very least a Dynamic Attractions-type flying theater
5) It's still an easy retheme should Jimmy end up in rehab sooner rather than later.

Still not what I would have put there, but it's definitely an improvement over Twister

Who's gonna make Thank You Notes to Teebin?

 

[Honor_Knight]

Is anyone else throwing up, yet? The fact that I have to look at his obnoxious figure over the entrance is reason enough to cancel my AP. Ugh.

Well that is a bit much...

Video of the ride system. The chairs are red makes me wonder if the loading mode for the ride will look like the fallon studio on tv.

The flying theater seems like Soarin. What will the difference be?

 

[DragonSlayer]

Love it.

 

[Mad Dog]

No one was expecting much at the beginning, but now this is looking like it might be a big time "Sleeper" hit. :thumbsup: and I'm sure Jimmy will drink to that.

They hedged their bet in the text before the video saying they weren't sure it was the ride system. It ain't what I have seen. All I can do is put my palms up and shrug my shoulders.

 

[GadgetGuru]

Huh. This isn't what I expected at all. In the absolute best way. I wasn't expecting such a detailed exterior, the post-show or that this is a Soarin clone. I was thinking this would just be a big version of Despicable Me.

Honestly, this gives me a little more hope for F&F. Please let that not suck.

I love Jimmy. I love New York. I love Rockefeller Center. And I love 30 Rock's NBC store....Good vibes, fun times, and cool details are going to be here...

Its not the dynamic attractions flying theatre as its already been put in a wanda park. Ironically it would be funny if UNI is putting out Pandora's theatre before Pandora even comes out.

 

[Tyler]

Now is this supposed to be Kong-esque, in the sense like this is just an attraction to make USF better, or to go toe-to-toe with HP?

Been thinking the same thing for a while, would be funny indeed, and for a fraction of the costs LOL

 

[Tyler]

The Disney extremists would be fuming!

 

[rhino4evr]

still not that excited, I feel like it will get "old" fast. That being said, I think it's cool that they are finally making a new ride that involves a "live studio". The park is really missing stuff like this.
