Nickelodeon Universe at Mall of America to Open New 'PAW Patrol Adventure Bay' Attraction on Oct. 25

PAW Patrol is on a roll - or soon will be at Nickelodeon Universe at the Mall of America!

BLOOMINGTON, Minn. - The Mall of America has announced the PAWsome news that Nickelodeon Universe's brand-new PAW Patrol immersive experience, PAW Patrol Adventure Bay will open on Thursday, October 25!


The new immersive attraction is a 20-minute timed experience that allows kids to help Chase, Marshall and other characters from Nickelodeon's beloved CG-animated preschool series on rescue missions and other activities, including climbing the Lookout Tower or climbing down to the beach to see if there are any turtles or crabs that need saving, and will give kids the chance to explore all of the amazing sights and sounds of the PAW Patrol's home of Adventure Bay. Kids of all ages will find something new around every corner while visiting the attraction.

Additionally, it includes a waiting area for parents where they can charge their electronic devices - and themselves.

PAW Patrol Adventure Bay will be located at the east entrance of the Nickelodeon Universe. Admission to the attraction $7.20. It will also be included in the unlimited all-day wristband. The ride is a six point attraction.


"Whether preparing for rescue missions inside of Lookout Tower or climbing down to the beach to see if there are any turtles or crabs that need saving, kids of all ages will find something new around every corner while visiting the attraction," the MOA said earlier this year. The area will be the "perfect addition" to the Nick-branded theme park as it celebrates its 10-year partnership with the MOA this year, added Nickelodeon.



"As we celebrate our 10-year partnership with Nickelodeon this year, we are thrilled to continue bringing new experiences of all levels to life for guests to enjoy," said Jill Renslow, Senior Vice President (SVP) of business development and marketing at the Mall of America in a statement. "We remain committed to creating immersive storytelling experiences for guests of all ages and this new PAW Patrol attraction fits perfectly."


Produced by Spin Master Entertainment, PAW Patrol is a CG-animated, action-adventure preschool series starring a pack of eight heroic puppies - Chase, Marshall, Rubble, Skye, Rocky, Zuma, Everest and Tracker - led by a tech-savvy 10-year-old boy named Ryder. The series' unique blend of problem-solving skills, cool vehicles and cute doggy humor has propelled it to become TV's number-one preschool series. The series has since rolled out worldwide, and has become a global smash hit. PAW Patrol made its U.S. debut on Nickelodeon in August 2013, and the show's fifth season is currently airing on Nickelodeon. Seasons six and seven, along with two specials and a feature film, are also in the works.

Brokered by distributor Lacey Entertainment, the deal with see a new batch of 52 x 11-minute episodes hit pay- and free-TV airwaves next year on Nick Jr. in Benelux, Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Greece, Indonesia, Vietnam and the Philippines. The kids broadcaster has also licensed the series for pay-TV in the UK, Australia, New Zealand, Scandinavia, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Israel, Africa, LatAm, Southeast Asia, India, South Korea and the Arabic-speaking MENA region. Nick Jr. picked up Kiva Can Do! season one from Kavaleer in September 2017. Season two is currently in production.

The announcement was made by Nickelodeon International and Brian Lacey of Lacey Entertainment, the series’ worldwide distributor for TV broadcast and home entertainment rights.


“Nick Jr.’s international commitment to this new production season underscores the entertainment appeal and the ability of Kiva Can Do! to deliver a strong viewing audience,” said Lacey.

Created by Kavaleer CEO Andrew Kavanagh and produced by studio MD Gary Timpson, Kiva Can Do! follows the adventures of seven-year-old Kiva Kain, the world’s greatest kid-inventor; Saul Dunne, her mechanically-minded best friend; and Angus, their intrepid cardboard puppy companion. Encouraged by Kiva’s fun loving grandma Nanni, they embark on highly imaginative adventures just about anywhere! They assail the slopes of the highest mountains, dive to the bottom of the sea and explore the furthest regions of outer space in their quest for fun and friendship.

The series features a colorful, multi-textured design that complements the playful storytelling.

Kiva Can Do! is a charming series with positive pro-social and STEM themed stories that are characterized by warmth and cheerful fun that reflects the highly imaginative play patterns of children around the world. Kiva is an especially aspirational character helping to encourage constructive personal development,” Lacey added. “The new production season continues the outstanding storytelling and dialogue among the ensemble cast of characters, with new personalities nicely folded into the series story arch. Moreover, the very affectionate relationship with grandmother Nanni helps to infuse an important and genuinely authentic trans-generational appeal to the series.”

Kiva Can Do! launched at MIPCOM 2017 and funded in part by the Irish Film Board, the Broadcasting Authority of Ireland, the Section 481 Tax credit and Irish pubic broadcaster RTÉ, and was developed with assistance from Creative Europe.

Nickelodeon also announced today that it will bow new CG-animated series Butterbean’s Cafe on Monday, November 12 in its US Nick Jr. block.

'Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' Rises to the Top of the Ratings in the UK

Early ratings for the brand-new Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are strong and place Channel 5 ahead of main rivals

Hype surrounding the launch of Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Nickelodeon's brand-new 2D-animated series which reimagines the iconic characters in a fresh new way, was at an all-time high in September – and its ratings have proven the excitement was well-founded!

Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles premiered in the UK simultaneously on Nicktoons and Channel 5 on Saturday 22nd September 2018 at 10am (as the first UK simulcast across Viacom owned Nicktoons and Channel 5), a few days after its US launch, where it outperformed BBC 1 in its time slot for Channel 5, a major win for the new animation and the channel.

Nickelodeon supported the launch with a host of activity in the lead up. Press, VIPs, influencers and celebrity fans were invited to a special early screening at London's Bay Sixty6. The event turned the underground skate park into the Turtles Lair, complete with a performance from skateboarding sensation Schaeffer McLean, who performed a brand new specially commissioned move - The Mikey, of course, lots of pizza. Danny Dyer, Danielle Lloyd and Made in Chelsea stars Stephanie Pratt and Jess Woodley led a star-studded turn out, creating buzz around the country.

But the broadcast success for Raph, Donny, Leo and Mickey doesn’t end there. In the three weeks following the launch of the show, Channel 5 ranked +14 per cent ahead of BBC 1, +27 per cent ahead of CBBC, +56 per cent ahead of CITV and +62 per cent ahead of ITV*.


The show was supported by the launch of a brand-new toy line on Friday 5th October 2018, distributed in the UK by GP Flair. Highlights from the range include an assortment of highly detailed action figures, with heights ranging from 4” to 5.5”, as well as Deluxe Figures with amazing sounds and ninja action features, plus chunky and rugged Super Deluxe Figures.



Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles airs weekends at 10am on Nicktoons UK & Ireland and Channel 5.
