USA: Jimmy Fallon Ride Coming to Universal Orlando Resort

As host of NBC’s “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” and one of today’s funniest comedians, Jimmy Fallon is not only popular among national audiences but also worldwide. As of 2017, Fallon (41) will be the star of Universal Studio Florida’s brand-new “Race through New York Starring Jimmy Fallon” ride experience. According to the park, “the experience will seamlessly blend the playful and irreverent world of ‘The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon’ with the incredible technology and imaginative storytelling for which Universal Orlando is known.” Working closely together with Universal, Jimmy Fallon and his creative team develop the ride’s storyline. It will all start as guests step right into “Studio 6B” of Rockefeller Center, where the late-night show is being recorded. The new adventure will replace the film-based attraction “Twister…Ride It Out”, which was opened in 1998 and closes today to make way for the new experience. Further details on the new attraction will be released in the future. (eap)
