- Wednesday, 08 December 2021
RiseNY, a first-of-its-kind new attraction combining museum exhibit galleries with a theme park-style ride will open in New York City on December 17, connecting audiences to the Big Apple’s most famous sites and moments. The centrepiece of RiseNY is a 46-seat soaring ride – a world-class, state-of-the-art flying theatre – that gives visitors of all ages a unique bird’s-eye view tour of the city. Once on board and lifted 30 feet into the air, guests will hang suspended, their feet dangling as they glide over NYC’s skyline and landmarks while inside a 180-degree, 40-foot projection dome featuring 8K aerial footage that creates the sensation of flight.
UK-based easyJet has welcomed FlyZero’s confirmation that it has developed a concept for a mid-size aircraft powered by liquid hydrogen, enabling zero-carbon emission flights.
