Universal's first flying theater ride will take visitors past some of New York's famous landmarks, including the Statue of Liberty and the Empire State Building, while also featuring cameos from Tonight Show announcer Steve Higgins and house band The Roots. But the star will be Fallon himself, who'll also show up as several of his characters from the show. The ride also will feature 4D effects, such as the smell of a New York pizzeria as well as getting wet from a plunge in the East River. Here's Fallon, describing it:
To help promote the ride's debut, Fallon will host The Tonight Show from the Universal Orlando Resort on April 3 through 6.
In addition, Universal Orlando announced tonight that Race Through New York Starring Jimmy Fallon will be the first attraction in the park to feature a "Virtual Line" experience. Visitors will be able to book return times to experience the attraction through the official Universal Orlando app or at kiosks outside the attraction.

I mean it is not well received, they could always change it into race through New York with Secret Life of Pets, just remove Jimmy Fallon from the Entrance and put all the pets in the fake windows. =) Of course they would change the ride too.
At least it would easier that the Back to the Future to Simpsons facade conversion.
I also am concerned about the virtual queue. I love Uni because you can just show up and enjoy the day. No preplanning necessary.
First let the damn thing open before judging..
We will see it 3rd week of May and reserve judgment until then, Thank you very much...
That was the quote from the anonymous crank above. Such nonsense, when Disney is building three new lands at WDW! And they completed NFL a few years ago.
I Respond: You must mean anything that YOU regard as major, right?
I respond : not ONE e-ticket attraction built by Disney in over a decade at Orlando. Shameful.
Virtual line? Like Fastpass+? ;)
Am I right to think I can pick an chose the return time (for what is available at that moment?
If so I think that is cool, it's like buying a ticket in New York for Jimmy Fallon. There will be a tonight show museum preview area so I think return times are a bit liquid and entertaining at the same time. Lets see how it turns out. Regarding the attraction, I'm excited and I love the exterior.
And a few months later we'll have Vulcano Bay, and before that 6 new floats at the awesome Mardi Gras parade. Good times at Universal.
Going to definately stay on site at Universal when i go this year.

I'll try this ride cuz it's new, and hopefully it'll be good. But I think I'd be more excited if they were opening a 4D simulator called Watching Paint Dry.
