RiseNY

Time Square’s newest experience, RiseNY, is an ode to the Big Apple, its incredible history and how the city has evolved to become an epicenter for the creative industry, from radio and TV, Broadway, fashion, rap music and more. Filled with interactive elements, RiseNY really makes you feel a part of everything that makes NYC special (especially when it comes to going on a 4D “ride” over the city). This is a breathtaking ride high over the city skyline, and if you need to shriek a few times throughout, just go for it. Personally, I’d say it’s best for kids 8+). Check out a Reel on my Instagram page to see what Rise NY is all about!

Please note: the height requirement for ride is 40 inches.
