"Jimmy and his creative team are working closely with Universal to develop the ride's storyline and bring his vision to life. 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," said a news release from Universal Orlando Resort.

"The adventure will begin as guests step right into Studio 6B, where Jimmy will challenge them and their fellow audience members to a white-knuckle race. Guests will twist, turn and laugh as they speed through the streets -- and skies -- of The Big Apple – encountering everything from iconic landmarks to the deepest subway tunnels -- and anything else that comes to Jimmy's mind."
