COWABUNGA! Nickelodeon Universe at American Dream has announced that the upcoming Nickelodeon-branded theme park will feature rollercoasters inspired by Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, SpongeBob SquarePants and SLIME!
Update (9/11) - Nickelodeon Universe at American Dream will also include a Blaze and the Monster Machines race track ride named "Blaze's Monster Truck Rally"!
Update (7/16) - Nickelodeon Universe at American Dream will also include a Blue's Clues merry-go-round ride!
There will reportedly be a Nickelodeon Slime Stage, however, this is still to be confirmed.
Update (7/3): American Dream has announced that it will welcome the public to its opening on Friday, October 25, 2019 where we will feature the launch of the property’s unprecedented indoor Nickelodeon Universe Theme Park! See below for the press release!
Update (4/5): American Dream has begun testing its amusement park rides inside the mega-mall’s Nickelodeon Universe theme park — a telltale sign that the retail and entertainment extravaganza will finally open this year, after nearly 15 years of delays! Additionally, drone footage from the ongoing construction at American Dream at the Meadowlands filmed by NJ Advance Media for NJ.com has revealed that banners (pictured above) for the upcoming Nickelodeon Universe amusement park, including one featuring SpongeBob SquarePants saying his "I'm ready" catchphrase, have appeared on the side of the mega-mall! Click here for more details!
Two rollercoasters we’ve already heard about -- and two we haven’t -- were revealed at a recent gathering of roller coaster enthusiasts and industry insiders. The thrill rides are in the works inside the massive theme park in the under-construction American Dream mega-mall in Bergen County, New Jersey.
The American Coaster Enthusiasts held an annual “EastCoaster” gathering at Hershey Park this past weekend where representatives from Nickelodeon Universe unveiled four roller coasters that will be part of the indoor theme park at the American Dream, Elizabeth Ringas, communications coordinator for ACE said.
Triple Five, the developer of the American Dream, announced more than a year ago that two record-setting roller coasters would be coming to the site. But their themes and character-associations were not known until this ACE announcement.
Roller coaster enthusiasts rejoiced. Here’s what ACE has shared of the news:
The roller coaster with the record-setting steepness will be called the TMNT Shellraiser (TMNT = Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle). It’s from German-based Gerstlauer, and the model is referred to as the “Eurofighter.” It will hold the record as the steepest plunge on a rollercoaster in the world.
The ride will pause at the top of a 122-foot drop, giving riders a glimpse of New York City - the home of the Turtles - across the Hudson River!
The other record-setter we’ve been hearing about has now been identified as “The Shredder” -- likely named after the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle antagonist, Shredder. It is also a Gerstlauer model and it will hold the record for being the tallest and longest free-spinning roller coaster.
Two previously unmentioned roller coasters were also unveiled: Sandy’s Blasting Bronco, inspired SpongeBob SquarePants’ dive suit-wearing friend, Sandy Cheeks, and Slime Streak, inspired by Nickelodeon's famous slime!
The final new ride unveiled is called Slime Streak. It’s manufactured by Kansas-based Chance Rides and is less heart-pounding and more family-oriented than the record-setting roller coasters planned for American Dream.
Representatives for American Dream and Nickelodeon Universe did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The 3 million-square-foot American Dream mega-mall is expected to open this spring. About 55 percent of it will be devoted to entertainment, including the 8-acre indoor Nickelodeon Universe amusement park. The rest will be retail.
Hundreds of families gathered in Highland Park for the 10th Annual Nickelodeon Worldwide Day of Play. It's an event that is designed to encourage children and parents to turn off the television and head outdoors to play. Thousands of people came out to fellowship and to have fun with all the activities including face painting, bounce houses, water slides and lots more.
"We like to bring a positive light and a shining like on this Highland Park. We want to show that everybody can come together and have a great time without any violence, fighting, or shooting. People come out to fellow and have a good time," Boys and Girls Club director of operation Jermaine Harris told WTOK.
