What is the Race through New York queue like?
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.

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
