What To Expect

RiseNY

Begin your adventure with an immersive film by award-winning documentarian Ric Burns and narrated by Jeff Goldblum that transitions to an interactive self-guided walkthrough tracing tipping points in history that contributed to NYC's global pop culture evolution. Discover the rise of Wall Street and the New York Stock Exchange in our Finance Gallery. Learn the history of mass media after the advent of Tesla's Coil in the TV/Radio gallery. Understand the laws of physics through the Otis elevator brake in our Skyline gallery. Visual and performing arts come to life in the Fashion, Music, Film, and Broadway galleries. Then prepare to soar to New (York) heights with a spectacular uplifting ride - a world-class flying theater - that gives visitors a unique bird's-eye view of the Big Apple. See the Statue of Liberty up close, fly over Central Park, Yankee Stadium, and more - all while seated inside a 180-degree 40' projection dome that gives the sensation of flight!

It was great until we had to wait over 1 hr for the ride. Ate up time we wanted to do other things. There should be a sign posted with current wait times as others may be booked and want to do other things. Would have been a higher rating if it didn’t kill so much of our day.

Glad to hear that you enjoyed most of the experience but do apologize for the wait times you encountered. We suffered some technical difficulties over the weekend and did the best we could to get everyone through as quickly and safely as possible. We are constantly looking to improve and feedback like yours is very helpful in this endeavor. If you would like to Rise with us again, we would be very happy to have you back; please reach out to [email protected] and we will do the best we can to accommodate you.

We love to hear such positive feedback! Re-rides are definitely encouraged, a great way to catch whatever slipped past your eye the first time around. We sincerely hope the rest of your time in NYC is spent seeing everything in person that you got a glimpse of as you soared overhead with us!
