How To SLIMEFEST + Article Round-Up | #CrazyCarCam | Nickelodeon [Updated]

Get tips on how to make a delicious snack and what to pack for your road trip to the first-ever U.S. Nickelodeon SlimeFest with this aweslime video from Nickelodeon and Cinnamon Toast Crunch!:


Palace Theatre Renovations Could Force 'SpongeBob Musical' to Seek New Home

While SpongeBob SquarePants: The Broadway Musical might win big at the Tony Awards, and, in what could be the latest in Plankton's evil schemes, it could become another victim of New York’s rising real estate crisis.


According to financial documents sent to potential Chinese investors, the real estate developers renovating the Palace Theatre intend to shut it with the adjoining hotel on Saturday, September 15 to begin demolition and construction. The theater’s current tenant, SpongeBob, which won the Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Musical on Sunday, might soon be forced to find another home.


The Palace Theatre today

The real estate developers plan to lift the historic Broadway house 29-feet above street level, creating 70,000 square feet of lucrative retail space. Spread across the ground floor and three underground floors, the new area is estimated to generate about $165 million in rent each year. “To create retail space on four levels in the busiest place in New York, Times Square, is brilliant,” said Stewart F. Lane, the co-owner of the Palace Theatre with the Nederlander Organization.

Maefield Development, which is developing the site with Fortress Investment Group and L&L Holding Company, first presented the plan to Nederlander using shoeboxes. While located underneath the Doubletree Suites hotel, the Palace Theatre is encased within its own little shoebox, and it can be raised into the empty space without hitting into the hotel.

“We have the ability, using the columns that exist today, to be able to elevate this theater on jacks that go up,” explained Paul Boardman, the president of urban real estate at Maefield. “The whole box itself stays in place and intact, and it can be moved up structurally very confidently because it is such a strong box,” he said.

But, as Lane commented, “there is a lot more coming to this than just elevating the theater.”

In addition to a new entrance with a 75-foot marquee on 47th Street, the blueprints for the Palace Theatre feature a much larger lobby, twice as many bathrooms, and more wing space to accommodate larger shows. “You’re going to get a brand-new 21st century theater there with the original interior of the theater that was built in 1913,” Lane said.

With a green light from both Nederlander and the landmarks preservation commission, Maefield purchased the lease and the air rights for the Doubletree Suites hotel from Sunstone Hotel Investors for $536 million in 2015. It also bought out rights of first refusal that belonged to Hilton Hotels and several other firms, and reached an agreement where Nederlander will own the theater and Maefield will own the hotel.

The hotel will be expanded to include 663 hotel rooms, a restaurant, a night club, and a pop-out outdoor performance space. “We’re going to have the only operating stage overlooking Times Square, as well as the best signage possible,” stated Robert Lapidus, the president of L&L, referencing the 17,000 square-foot electronic screen planned to wrap around the building.

The project will cost about $2.4 billion, and the real estate developers are still in process of raising the funds. In addition to lining up a $1.3 billion construction loan, the group is hoping to receive $300 million through the EB-5 visa program, which offers foreign investors an American green card in exchange for a $500,000 investment.

But, the planned renovations could evict the cheerful residents of Bikini Bottom.

While it is possible that the original timetable could be shifted to accommodate SpongeBob, which is now selling tickets through Sunday, September 2, the resilient real estate developers might stick to their construction schedule, and make the musical find another theater, go on tour, or close. The Marquis Theatre, which Nederlander also manages, might be available to use after Escape to Margaritaville closes in July. But, Nickelodeon and the other producers of SpongeBob SquarePants declined to comment on the situation when reached by Reuters.

The Tony-award nominated SpongeBob SquarePants: The Broadway Musical is now playing at the Palace Theatre (1564 Broadway at West 47th Street). For full information, reviews and tickets, visit http://spongebobbroadway.com.

Viacom’s CFO Says They Hope To Be On OTT Services Like Hulu & YouTube TV 'Eventually'

Just over a year ago, Viacom pulled their programming from over-the-top subscription services PlayStation Vue and Hulu. According to Viacom at the time they wanted to focus on cable TV service instead of streaming services. Now it looks like Viacom may be having second thoughts.


Speaking at the Gabelli Annual Movie and Entertainment Conference earlier this week, Viacom CFO Wade Davis acknowledged that he is well aware that Viacom channels like Nickelodeon, Comedy Central and MTV and don’t show up on Hulu with Live TV or YouTube TV, but thinks they will be added eventually.

Davis pointed out that Viacom is present in the virtual multichannel video programming distributor (MVPD) world and got in a slight dig at the vMVPDs that don’t carry Viacom.

“We’re extremely well-represented in the traditional distributor lead virtual MVPDs, that’s Sling TV and DirecTV Now. And those are really the virtual MVPDs that matter,” Davis said. “We’d love to be on [Hulu and YouTube TV], we’re in discussions with those guys all the time and we’re optimistic that we’re going to … make progress with some of the virtual MVPDs that we’re not on.”

But he said that the real growth from a vMVPD standpoint is going to continue to be driven from the traditional distributors. The two most significant parts of the vMVPD business are content cost and subscriber acquisition, and those are areas where the traditional distributors have incredible advantages versus new entrants in the space, he said, while anticipating further growth from other traditional distributors entering the vMVPD market.

While this is good news for many, it is important to mention that Davis did not mention PlayStation Vue.

In terms of traditional distributors launching vMVPDs, Dish Network and DirecTV are really the only ones so far; though it’s worth noting that Comcast is a part-owner of Hulu. Verizon has said that it is no longer interested in launching a streaming TV service, and the U.S. cable operators that offer streaming TV services typically do so only within their footprints.

As of April 2018, DirecTV Now had about 1.5 million subscribers, and in February 2018 Dish revealed that Sling TV has 2.2 million subscribers. YouTube TV has yet to divulge any subscriber numbers, but Hulu said late last month it now has 800,000 subscribers (out of 20 million total) opting for its live TV service.

So what is holding Viacom back from expanding its OTT footprint right now? There is likely to be quite a couple issues holding Viacom back. Firstly, Viacom is pushing for a re-merger with CBS. It is possible they want to finish the merger before they agree to any new deals. Viacom is also likely hoping to hold out for a better deal to get more money from YouTube TV and Hulu.

The news follows Viacom revealing earlier this year that it hopes to launch its own streaming service during Fall 2018.

First Look At The New 'Double Dare' On Nickelodeon

Nickelodeon is bringing back its iconic game show Double Dare for a whole new generation of fans! The new season premieres Monday, June 25 at 8:00pm ET/PT with new host Liza Koshy alongside original host Marc Summers, who will preside over the competition and offer commentary. To celebrate the return of Double Dare, BuzzFeed has unveiled a fantastic first-look at the shiny new set AND some the brand new obstacles! Check out the pics below!:


Although the series will feature brand-new games, fans of the classic series will be pleased to hear that some old faves will also returning for the iconic Double Dare obstacle course. Pick It is back and, yes, that nose is still filled with ooey gooey green slime:


The Human Hamster Wheel is also back, but this time around it's called the 1-Ton Human Hamster Wheel:


Down the Hatch is returning:


It's as gross as ever, look at that danglin' uvula:


Mt. St. Double Dare is back and steeper than ever:


And other returning '90s favorites include The Tank, Sundae Slide, Blue Plate Special, and The Wringer.


Pics of the new, reimagined challenges yet, but if they're anything like the originals, everyone's gonna be covered in slime and/or whipped cream.

Fans can also look forward to seven totally new challenges, including Brick Wall Breakout:


Standing between you and the flag is a giant "brick" wall (made out of styrofoam). Bust through the wall and grab the flag.

Couch Searching:


Like digging through couch cushions to find the remote, you have to search a giant sofa to find the flag amongst lost keys, money, clothes, and other surprises.

Overstuffed:


Fluff is spilling out of the giant raggedy bear. Pull out the fluff and find the flag inside.

Tube-A-Totter:


A long clear tube on a teeter-totter is filled with whipped cream, gak slime, and the flag you're looking for. As you walk through, the tube tips and wobbles.

The other new obstacles are: Unboxing (you open a box within a box within a box, etc., until you reach the flag), Pop Lockin' (somewhere inside one of three school lockers is the hidden flag, but you to get through stinky clothes, junk, and, spoiled food to find it), and Blow Out (you crawl through a giant-rolled up party horn full of confetti with the flag waiting at the other end).

These are still being built so photos aren't ready yet.

Get ready for the '90s to return!

Premiering Monday, June 25 at 8:00pm ET/PT and hosted by digital creator and actress Liza Koshy, Nickelodeon's Double Dare revival will see a new generation of fans compete in the messiest and most physically challenging competition of their lives. Bringing together new fans and the iconic game show’s millennial audience from the ‘90s, original series host Marc Summers returns to give color commentary on the challenges, lending his vast knowledge of the game and expertise to each episode.

Leading up to the debut of the brand-new series of Double Dare, NickSplat will air a selection of classic episodes from across the Double Dare franchise every night at 11:00pm ET/PT between Monday 18th - Sunday 24th June 2018.

Nickelodeon’s new Double Dare will also spill off of the screen and into the real world this summer, connecting to fans both old and new in a series of forthcoming location-based live experiences. There will be opportunities for fans to play Double Dare in on-the-ground versions at VidCon 2018 in Anaheim, Calif., and all summer long at Nickelodeon Universe at Mall of America in Minneapolis.

Nickelodeon Plans 'Nickelodeon Kart Racers' Video Game For Consoles [Updated]

GameStop has revealed that Nickelodeon is planning to release a brand-new racing-themed video game titled Nickelodeon Kart Racers for the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on Tuesday 23rd October 2018!

Update (6/8): Nickelodeon Kart Racers will also be released on the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, in addition to the Nintendo Switch.


Nickelodeon Kart Racers is being developed and published by Solutions 2 Go, a Canada-based multinational distributor of video games, accessories and specialty products.

Unfortunately, no more information about the game nor its box art is currently available. However, more information, including art and screenshots, should be released in the coming weeks.

Nickelodeon Kart Racers is currently available to pre-order for $39.99 (USD) at GameStop.com.

Although unconfirmed, it is thought that Nickelodeon Kart Racers will be similar to Nickelodeon and Pipe Dream's popular Nicktoons Racing, a Mario Kart-esque Nickelodeon crossover racing video game featuring a variety of popular Nick characters that saw a debut on Gameboy Color in 2000, before being ported to various other platforms, including the PlayStation 1. It received two sequels, one on PC and one in arcades, though the franchise has been dormant since 2009. Nearly all versions were developed by Software Creations with the exception of the Game Boy Advance version, which was developed by Crawfish Interactive, and the arcade version, which was developed by Chicago Gaming.

Nicktoons Racing allowed players to play as and race against their favourite Nicktoon characters from shows like SpongeBob SquarePants, Rugrats, Hey Arnold!, CatDog, The Ren & Stimpy Show, Aaahh!!! Real Monsters, The Angry Beavers and The Wild Thornberrys. Each driver drives a vehicle inspired by the show they feature in (SpongeBob drives a pineapple kart, Tommy Pickles drives a Reptar wagon, Eliza Thornberry drives a miniature R.V., etc), with each vehicle having unique handling, speed, power and other attributes.

In the game, various Nickelodeon characters each receive a letter invitation to compete in a Grand Prix for the top prize, the Krusty Krab Big Bun Award. The host of the competition, also the individual who sent the invitations, is an unknown, unseen driver of a sleek, black car with a tinted dome window simply dubbed as the Mystery Rider, which the participating racers are challenged to beat, as well as each other.

The news follows Nickelodeon and THQ Nordic recently announcing that they have partnered to bring back a number of Nick Games from the Nickelodeon catalog starting later this year. THQ Nordic hasn’t revealed which specific games it plans on remastering or re-releasing, but has named the franchises that it plans to revive, including Rugrats, Danny Phantom, SpongeBob SquarePants, Fairly OddParents, Avatar: The Last Airbender, Back at the Barnyard and Catscratch.

Below is Nicktoons Racing's official product description:

"Speed past Angelica, steer around SpongeBob SquarePants, and look out for the Angry Beavers. Nicktoons Racing is a fast-paced kart racing game with all your favorite Nicktoons characters. The game features Nick-themed tracks, famous racers, lots of power-ups, crazy hazards, and more."

Below is Amazon.co.uk's review of Nicktoons Racing:


"Now you can give Angelica her comeuppance, help SpongeBob be a winner, or simply see how CatDog manages to drive a race car. Nicktoons Racing will thrill cartoon fans and gamers alike as it spices up a racing program with twists and turns that are pure Nickelodeon.

Only in this program will you find tracks with giant fingers growing out of pink dirt, power-ups that include the "Powdered Toast Man Crouton Launcher" (yes, it enables you to launch huge croutons at your opponents), and prizes such as a wheel of cheese. Players can get behind the wheel with and race against 12 Nickelodeon characters, including Tommy from the Rugrats, Ren and Stimpy, or Helga from Hey Arnold. There is also a Mystery Rider in a black car; to uncover his or her (or its!) identity, racers must win on all 12 tracks.

This Windows-only program has three difficulty levels, a feature that allows not-so-great racers to progress towards discovering who or what the Mystery Rider is. Five game modes include an option for two players to race head to head, a relay option and a couple of practice options that won't damage trophy standings. Players must win first place on the easier tracks before they can access the more difficult ones. And if players don't have a game pad or joystick, they must race using the arrow keys.

Everything from talcum powder to "gritty litter" comes into play as racers manoeuvre their cartoon characters around the bends of these twisted tracks. Our one complaint is that we only get to see the backs of our favourite Nick characters as they speed through their surreal world. (Ages 6 and up)"
