Race Through New York Starring Jimmy Fallon at Universal Studios Florida

What is Race Through New York Starring Jimmy Fallon?

Race Through New York Starring Jimmy Fallon is an indoor simulator that takes place in a “flying theater.” The ride takes you through popular locations throughout New York City while highlighting characters from The Tonight Show, but the real star is its queue, which is all sorts of fun and interesting.

What is the Race through New York queue like?

Race Through New York Starring Jimmy Fallon queue

The queue for this attraction is truly captivating. You’ll start by walking through a museum-like space showcasing the rich history of The Tonight Show, with dedicated displays for each former host. As you head upstairs to the second floor, just before the pre-show area, you’ll find Tonight Show games, seating, and clips playing. Guests are welcome to take their time and explore everything the queue has to offer before entering the ride experience.

How scary is Race Through New York?

We rate this attraction a two out of five Hashtag the Pandas in terms of fear factor. It’s actually a tame motion simulator, comparable to Despicable Me Minion Mayhem.

Fun Facts

  • This attraction previously operated with a virtual queue system, as shown above. While that system is no longer in use, the video still offers a great look at the historical elements featured throughout the queue.
  • Interestingly, it was Jimmy Fallon himself who first proposed the idea of creating a ride centered around his persona.

An complete disaster. Interesting but poorly executed wait time design and the most boring, dated simulator imaginable. I've been on all the rides at both parks and this is by far the worst. It's even worse than despcicable me. 2/10
