New York Skyride

Question: What flies over the Statue of Liberty, dives underwater and launches into space but never leaves the ground?

Answer: NY SKYRIDE, located on the second floor of the Empire State Building.

It’s a fun filled combination of movie-motion-and sights rolled up into New York’s ONLY aerial virtual tour simulator. The NY SKYRIDE is an exciting IMAX® style presentation combining high-definition technology and special effects, custom platforms and seats and a 6 meter high screen! The NY SKYRIDE is safe, fun and entertaining and open 365 days a year!

NY SKYRIDE is an awesome aerial tour of New York City that sends you on a ride around, above and even below all that the City has to offer. . . and you feel the sights from the comfort of a specially equipped, motion-simulated, big screen theater seat!

    - Thieves Come Out A Head After Breaking Into Funeral Home -

    TORONTO - A Canadian family is horrified that someone broke into a funeral parlor and cut off their mother's head, leaving behind her earrings and a cash donation. The family of 68-year-old Cecile Lemay is offering a reward for the return of their mother's head, which was hacked from her

    body by a thief or thieves last summer. "Each morning, when we get up, we ask ourselves: 'Where is the head? Will it show up on our lawn one morning?'," the Globe and Mail newspaper quoted Lemay's sister Carmelle as saying. Information leading to the return of the missing head will earn a reward of C$10,000 ($8,900). "We think about it each day.

    We can't find closure and we want to know who did it and why," another of Lemay's sisters, Ghyslaine, said.
