New simulation ride takes bird's eye NYC view

A new indoor tourist attraction ride opens this week in New York City in which visitors take a bird's eye view of city landmarks and seasonal events. It's called RiseNY and is located just off Times Square in Manhattan's Theater District. Visitors strap themselves into a row of seats like an amusement park ride and are then lifted 30 feet off the ground inside a 180 degree, 40-foot projection dome. The row of seats rocks back and forth to simulate how gravity would affect the body if someone were really riding through the NYC skyline. Visitors fly through Times Square on New Year's Eve, 4th of July fireworks, through the subway system at Grand Central Station and other city landmarks and events.
