You make your way towards the Broadway ticket office and towards the bright lights of NEW YORK, NEW YORK… The iconic skyline and the Empire State Building towers overhead amongst a sparkling sea of mirror balls. The Manhattan bars serve an assortment of drinks – from chilled beers to crisp gin and tonics. While professional mixologists design iconic cocktails – Manhattans and New York Sours are the toast of the evening! As you take your seat for a tasty three-course feast, the stage bursts into life with exhilarating entertainment featuring world-class aerial entertainers and professional dance troops. As the last spoonful of dessert is devoured, the lights cut to an explosion of light and sound on the main stage marking the beginning of a dazzling finale. After dinner entertainment is plentiful – 3 indoor fairground rides (including dodgems, waltzer and twist rides) whirl into action, the fun casino opens its tables, fairground attractions come to life and the 360 camera spins into action. Whilst some guests enjoy fresh coffee, chocolates and a midnight breakfast roll in a quieter area, the dance floor beckons for those whose night is still young!
