THE RIDE Greets Its 800,000 RIDER Next Thursday

On Thursday, August 30, 2018, THE RIDE'S CEO/CCO and Author/Director, Richard Humphrey, will be at the 42nd Street Boarding Location of his award-winning Bus to greet THE RIDE'S 800,000th Rider.

Eight hundred thousandth Rider!

Established October 15, 2010, Re-Launched April 15, 2014 and drenched in acclaim and awards, Mr. Humphrey's cutting-edge experiential entertainment break-through, game-changing family of products have expanded to several casts and over 150 employees as he prepares for a London RIDE, a Texas RIDE and a Tokyo RIDE while continuing to scout Paris, Boston, Dublin, San Francisco, Hong Kong, and Dubai.

THE TOUR powered by THE RIDE, which launched four season's ago, has financially out-performed all of Mr. Humphrey's expectations as well his Board of Director's wildest dreams.

Mr. Humphrey's THE RIDE Holiday Edition is preparing for its 7th Iconic Season.

His RIDE In Masquerade launched its 5th Autumn Season on Monday, October 2, 2017 after which it sold out; almost instantaneously.

THE DOWNTOWN EXPERIENCE powered by The Ride is a multi-media historical adventure with a Storyteller's on-board narration highlighted by the magic of six Virtual Reality Visualizations (enhanced with the magic of the TimeLooper virtual reality app) and including on-location time-travel back to the inauguration of George Washington in 1789.

THE RIDE, THE TOUR powered by The Ride, THE RIDE Holiday Edition, THE RIDE In Masquerade and THE DOWNTOWN EXPERIENCE powered by The Ride have all been written and directed by Mr. Humphrey.

THE RIDE moved into the Broadway neighborhood on October 15, 2010 and changed everything about the Live Entertainment Experience and has been seducing and stunning Tourists and native New Yorkers alike - ever since.

All of this homage and accompanying critical acclaim has led to THE RIDE becoming the singularly most requested ticket at Travel Agents' offices all over the country.
