Did you hear about the new Jimmy Fallon ride at Universal Orlando? \u00a0\u00a0We did and couldn’t wait to try it out!<\/p>\n
If you are heading out to Universal Orlando, a new must see ride is \u00a0Race Through New York Starring Jimmy Fallon<\/strong>. \u00a0 As frequent park visitors, we have mastered the FastPass<\/a> system and know when and how to navigate the parks to get the most out of our time at the Walt Disney World Resort. \u00a0However, the virtual line system is a new concept being rolled out at Universal Orlando\u00a0and one we were excited to try out.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Pre show fun from NBC<\/em><\/p>\n Walking toward the\u00a030 Rock building we felt like we were in New York City. The gift shop is full of\u00a0Jimmy Fallon merchandise, and NBC memorabilia. Everything is eye catching and fun, creating even more excitement for the ride.<\/p>\n However as we approached the line entrance and were told that there were no more virtual line spots available for the day,\u00a0we suddenly were not feeling as excited. Thankfully, we\u00a0still checked the app to see for ourselves if we could secure a space.<\/p>\n What is unique about the “virtual line”\u00a0is that\u00a0you have to be on Universal property to get a reservation. \u00a0The Universal Orlando app allows you to go online and reserve your spot, but unlike Disney you can\u2019t do this from home or many days in advance. \u00a0We\u00a0happened to find a spot 2 hours later so we were able to prepare to enjoy the ride.<\/p>\n At our appointed time we returned to the ride. \u00a0We were welcomed into the lobby where we had a walk down memory lane, seeing pictures and scenes from Tonight Show hosts present and past. \u00a0Jack Parr to Jay Leno and Johnny Carson are\u00a0featured on the walls. \u00a0 The main floor lobby is\u00a0TV magic.<\/p>\n Upstairs an area of sofas and gaming tables and video clips from The Tonight Show play on larger than life screens.\u00a0 High energy and fun, but also a great place to chill and relax. Phone charging stations are available as well.<\/p>\n Each guest is given a color coded card as they enter the lounge area.\u00a0 The colors are displayed and announced to\u00a0enter the line queue. \u00a0It’s a great way to keep people moving through the attraction without having to stand in line.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n The Tonight Show Hosts<\/em><\/p>\n There are also many different kinds of pre-show entertainment, including Hashtag the Panda and The Ragtime Gals<\/a>.<\/p>\n The overall ride is all about Jimmy Fallon and being part of his crazy adventure.\u00a0 The safety precautions rap sets the stage for a ride that has character and makes each rider feel like they are part of the show. A\u00a0journey through New York City, racing Jimmy Fallon, with twists and turns along the way. A definite must do ride for all visitors coming to Universal Orlando!<\/p>\n Our virtual line tips: \u00a0Make sure you check the Universal app as soon as possible to secure your spot on the line. \u00a0There are only so many spots available each day, so get there\u00a0early.<\/p>\n![\"Race](\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Jimmy-Fallon-Set.jpg\")
