Park your backside, buckle your belt and bite into the Big Apple, without ever leaving your seat. Snag a front-row view and soak in the city as it flaunts its wares behind the panoramic window of The Ride, a unique moving-theatre motor coach. Surround sound pulls urban scenes into the bus but don’t forget it’s a two-way street – external speakers keep you ‘on air’ as you drive. Sidle up to Grand Central Station and roll through Central Park. Flat-screen TVs exhibit photos and facts about each location, but the street performers steal the show.
Flashing lights and pumping beats make the bus (and you) an attraction, so expect an audience of intrigued New Yorkers. Don’t forget to catch a glimpse of the world-famous skyline through the glass-lined roof. No New York journey is complete without a subway ride and the bus’s floor-shaking technology ensures you won’t be left longing.
Tickets cost US$74.
