Race Through NY Starring Jimmy Fallon

[Alicia]

It's official! Looking forward to video later. (Don't feel like sitting through the complete unedited periscopes this morning.)

 

[Joel]

Didn't miss much, the whole week had better content than that video. Just the same song over and over

 

[Mr. EPCOT]

New maps!

I wonder if/how they'll plug Volcano Bay on the maps.

 

[Parkscope Joe]

I wonder if/how they'll plug Volcano Bay on the maps.

I get the feeling they'll have two maps going forward.

 

[Mad Dog]

Probably next year or so when Fallon returns. I'm guessing he's getting addicted to doing the show here.

It would be interesting to see if he gets a spike in ratings when he does the show from Orlando. If so, especially with the attraction there now, it would behoove NBC to do the show from Orlando more often.

 

[LieutLaww]

Fallon has said he loves coming to Orlando to film, and would like to do it more, he did hint a while ago when the ride was announced that that could be the plan.

Dumb question, but do water parks have paper maps? Seems like paper + water doesn't really mix. I assumed they would just have map sign boards everywhere

Typhoon Lagoon & BB did when I was there. If memory serves me correct, they had them at the locker desk.

Typhoon Lagoon & BB did.

Aquatica does not, they just have directory boards in a few places throughout the park. But each place is different.

Wet n Wild had maps, but half of the pamphlet was ads for cabana rentals, dining plan, Express, photopass, etc. They probably figure you'll grab one when you enter, skim through it once and then leave it in a locker or backpack all day. It was probably for add-on advertising more than map directory.

Yeah, they used to, but I feel like they may have only had them for advertising purposes, because I seem to remember they only ever had them at the resorts but never at the actual park.

The opening shots of this video is from that new balcony on the Fallon building. It's a better view of Music Plaza than I thought it would be (at least from that section of it).

Oh god. I'm crying. That guys whole life was made at the end.

Universal's official grand opening video:

 

[Nick]

When something called Super Nintendo World opens

And I would bet it's more likely than not that Fallon will be here for that.

There was something quite nice about that parade. I can see something similar for F&F and SNW.

They still have maps at TL & BB.

 

[RevFreako]

Too thick for my tastes.

More for me.

 

[s8film40]

I went for my second time today. I decided to ignore the color and just watch the Ragtime Gals. I think I finally went on the ride the 5th time my color came up. It was really great!

@AliciaStella is correct. There was a part of the map that was ads for upcharge items in the park. Though here is a picture of the bulk of the map:

They had these maps at the turnstiles. I know, off-topic.......

Hurray for Race Through NY being officially open! Does anyone know why they got rid of the Hashtag Panda costume in the Tonight Shop? It used to be merchandise you could buy. I heard a rumor, but I wonder if it was true.

People were being inappropriate with the outfits at the park, is what I hear.
