YOU'RE SEEING JIMMY ON THE TICKER PARADE WITH SO MANY
ICONIC CHARACTERS HERE IN ORLANDO.
WE HAVE THE ROOTS, STEVE HIGGIN, AND THE HASHTAG PANDA FROM "THE
TONIGHT SHOW." THEY ARE ALL ON THE FLOAT WITH
JIMMY. HE'S ABOUT TO CUT THE RIBBON
HERE IN A SECOND. THAT WILL CUE THE OFFICIAL
OPENING OF THE RIDE. HE'LL WALK OVER HERE AND GET A
LITTLE INTERVIEW FROM US. BUT IT'S REALLY JUST SO COOL.
I MEAN, THIS RIDE, I'M NOT A BIG ROLLER COASTER PERSON, BUT THE
TECHNOLOGY THAT THEY HAVE USED WAS SO AMAZING TO FLY THROUGH
THE ICONIC MOMENTS OF NEW YORK, THE HISTORY THAT YOU GET OF "THE
TONIGHT SHOW" ON NBC GOING BACK TO 1954.
OF COURSE, JIMMY FALLON, THIS WAS ALL HIS BRAIN CHILD.
HE PITCHED THIS RIDE BACK IN 2009.
AND NOW THREE-AND-A-HALF YEARS IN THE MAKING, IT'S WHAT IT TOOK
TO GET THIS THING UP AND RUNNING.
TODAY IT'S OFFICIAL. WE'LL WATCH JIMMY NOW WITH THE
OFFICIAL CUTTING OF THE RIBBON. HI, HIGGINS, HOW ARE YOU?
HELLO, ROOTS. THERE'S THE RIBBON.
HELLO, EVERYBODY. FEELS GOOD TO SEE YOU.
>> SAY THAT TWO MORE TIMES. >> SAVE THAT ONE FOR LATER.
WE'LL GET SOME GIANT SCISSORS UP HERE IN A SECOND AND WE'LL MAKE
IT OFFICIAL. THIS IS ANOTHER GREAT PART OF
THE RIDE, GUYS. YOU SEE JIMMY WITH HIS FAMILY.
HIS WIFE NANCY AND THE GIRLS ARE ACTUALLY IN THE RIDE.
NICE LITTLE'S EASTER EGG THERE. >> HE COULD BE ANNOUNCING FOR
PRESIDENT RIGHT NOW. >> IT DOES LOOK LIKE THAT.
IT ABSOLUTELY DOES. ARE YOU ANNOUNCING YOUR
CANDIDACY, THEY WANT TO KNOW? >> THIS IS A BIG MOMENT.
I HAVE TO TAKE MY TIME TO ENJOY THIS.
>> ABSOLUTELY. >> CAN YOU TAKE THAT OUT OF MY
POCKET? THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
THANK YOU. WRONG POCKET.
THERE'S BOB. IT'S A BIGGER DEAL WHEN BOB HAS
ARRIVED. THANK YOU, GUYS, FOR COMING OUT.
I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS IS REALLY HAPPENING.
WE HAVE BEEN WORKING ON THIS RIDE FOR THREE YEARS.
WE HAVE A "TONIGHT SHOW" RIDE. THIS IS REALLY HAPPENING.
[ APPLAUSE ] "THE TONIGHT SHOW" -- "THE
TONIGHT SHOW" IS ALL ABOUT FUN AND POSITIVITY AND LAUGHTER AND
PUTTING A SMILE ON YOUR FACE. AND THAT IS WHAT THIS RIDE IS
ALL ABOUT. I'M SO PROUD OF IT.
AS A KID FROM UPSTATE NEW YORK, I NEVER MANAGED I WOULD BE A
TALK SHOW HOST LET ALONE HAVE MY OWN RIDE.
IT GOES TO SHOW THAT IF YOU KEEP DREAMING BIG ANYTHING IS
POSSIBLE. STEVE BURKE, RYAN MEYER, TOM
WILLIAMS, BILL DAVIS, THE ENTIRE UNIVERSAL CREATIVE TEAM,
EVERYONE WHO WORKS AT THE PARKS, EVERYONE WHO WORKS AT THE RIDE,
THE RIDE OPERATORS, THE DANCING PANDA, THE RIDE TIME GALS, I SEE
WHAT THESE GUYS DO BEHIND THE SCENES, NOBODY DOES BIGGER
