Our reading
The StandardX Times Square will have a free-fall thrill ride, which is the kind of thing you’d expect from a hotel that’s also a theater district landmark. It’s not enough to just be in the middle of the action—now you have to experience it in free fall.
Guests will be able to scream while looking down at the city, which is exactly what you want when you’re trying to relax after a long day of Broadway shows and tourist traps.
Hyatt is making sure that even the most basic hotel stay feels like a performance, with a ride that’s as much about the view as it is the drop.
