That is, if you’re willing to make a trip to Orlando, Fla. On Tuesday night’s episode of _The Tonight Show_, the host revealed that Universal Orlando Resort will debut a ride in 2017 called “Race Through New York Starring Jimmy Fallon.” “It’s scary, it’s fun, it’s exciting,” Fallon said. “Do you know the ‘Harry Potter’ rides? It’s like that, except instead of Harry Potter, it’s me. Instead of Hogwarts, it’s New York City.” The theme park attraction will start at a recreated Studio 6B before taking riders on a virtual trip to several iconic New York City sites, according to [Variety](http://variety.com/2015/biz/news/jimmy-fallon-ride-universal-studios-1201628811/ "undefined"). And while Fallon said he couldn’t talk about the details of the ride, he did reveal that it will be in 3D and will feature “smoke, descents \[and\] water.” “Our team found inspiration in the outrageous celebrity races that have become one of the most popular segments of Jimmy’s _Tonight Show_,” Jason Surrell, creative director for Universal Creative, wrote on the [company’s blog](https://blog.universalorlando.com/whats-new/jimmy-fallon-new-ride/ "undefined"). “The source material already features a wild and crazy ride almost every week! And since Universal Studios Florida has long been famous for placing guests in the middle of their favorite movies and TV shows, we thought it was a perfect fit.” And the most exciting part according to Fallon himself: “On the way out, there’s a gift shop. You can buy a t-shirt for 200 bucks.” See the full announcement below: ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4090765/jimmy-fallon-to-get-his-own-ride-at-universal-studios-orlando/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4090765/jimmy-fallon-to-get-his-own-ride-at-universal-studios-orlando/"},"headline":"Jimmy Fallon Is Getting His Own Ride At Universal Studios Orlando","datePublished":"2015-10-28T18:14:54.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:26:24.291Z","description":"It will be in 3D and will feature smoke, descents and water","url":"https://time.com/4090765/jimmy-fallon-to-get-his-own-ride-at-universal-studios-orlando/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Television","celebrities","jimmy fallon","Universal Studios","The Tonight Show","TV","Orlando","Late Night Television","The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Megan McCluskey","jobTitle":"Staff Writer","url":"https://time.com/author/megan-mccluskey/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4090765/jimmy-fallon-to-get-his-own-ride-at-universal-studios-orlando/","name":"Jimmy Fallon Is Getting His Own Ride At Universal Studios Orlando"}}]}] ```
