You can admit it to us, the only reason you came to New York-New York
was for the coaster. Well, we don't blame you. While not fastest (Desperado)
or terribly loopy (Grand Slam Canyon), the Manhattan Express is a combination
of both. Total ride time is 67 seconds. How do we know? Well the rides
hurls you at 67 mph along a mile long trip around New York. Not the real
city but a series of models.
Be careful when rounding Lady Liberty's torch, this is where the fun
begins. A 360-degree loop and then a heartline twist-and-dive will make
you think that the real city is a safer place to be. The ride does not
end here, there are a few more nice spins and a tight double-helix at
the end. Many people have compared riding at night to the end of 2001:
A Space Odssey but you will have to see for yourself.
If the coaster is not your thing, theres a sprawling arcade on
the upper levels with bumper cars, laser tag and more.
