Race Through NY Starring Jimmy Fallon

[Teebin]

The building that held the bathrooms is 100% gone

Do you know for a fact that large parts of the old bathrooms weren't actually in the twister building? Are you 100% positive? Because I am 99% sure they were... and there wasn't anyway to tell that from the inside.

This is starting to sound like a Disney discussion. The big expansion that one year was the Tangled Bathrooms themed to the max, and some Disneyphile people were really enthused about that.

Sometimes when you aren't that enthused about the prospects of the ride, the attention turns to where you "Let it Go"... :look:

Clever.

The Tangled toilets where a huge disapointment, there was not even a "ride photo"!
I hope the Fallon toilets will at least have a photo opp.

No ride photo? i've gotten my picture taken plenty of times after coming out of the crapper there!

I wondered if JF had enough draw to have this ride/experience in Universal when it was announced but after watching his VD special last night I saw a talented funny guy who had an amazing variety of guests doing bits over the last two years.

I never stay up to watch the show (too old too tired!) but the compilation was very well done and if they can incorporate that kind of entertainment in this ride it has a chance. At least I am willing to give it a try now, before I would have rather had a drink in Finnegan's

That's Valentine's Day, for those of you who were wondering.

In the latest Tim Tracker video they ride a Mardi Gras float and they get a really cool view of the new ride from above the walls. Not much there besides dirt but cool nonetheless.

Is anyone else amazed he got chosen to be on a float?? Uni and WDW have many things in common

I don't know what you're getting at, but I do know that it's not that difficult to get chosen to be on a float. Hell, I've done it plenty of times.

Yea, it's super easy to get up there.

I have put in for three weeks last year and three this year, I think a single person that is almost local has less of a chance than a couple from out of town.
I hope to get an email but nothing through the 27th so far.

What I was getting at was what you thought I was getting at. There is a "relationship" between the parks and social media types. No offense meant, I know that is how many make their living

On the other hand I haven't won the lottery yet either so maybe I am just unlucky...

My family and I rode Saturday night and it was pretty easy (some determination on my wife's part just to keep up with getting to guest services at a certain time)...it is a ton of fun though!!

New wall that is being asked about:



What I was saying was rebar up and around what appears to be where they are building out away from the sound stage where the bathrooms are (I am certain the restrooms are in the sound stage, I just thought this area had a place between to Men's and the ladies rooms w/ a pay phone or something, so I thought there was some structure in front of the sound stage wall:



and a shot of the 'area':

Strange. They usually have people asking for regular guests if they wanna ride the float throughout the French Quarter.

 

[JoeCamel]

Guess I am on a list somewhere, maybe I am paranoid but many of my buds will be there next week so I keep my fingers crossed the mail me or I might just have to hang and get general admission so I can wear a smock and toss beads.

 

[Teebin]

Great pictures FD. Yep, that wall is the division between the new bathrooms and the new store, although there are a few more things in between the two as I recall.

 

[JoeCamel]

Building the bond beam for the new crapper/store? Crapstore? Sounds like something Jimmy would say!

 

[Teebin]

Building the bond beam

I had to look that up:

 

[JoeCamel]

You could call it a Lintel I guess but that one is huge. What are they going to put on top?
