Nickelodeon Universe amusement park at American Dream will lower lights, music and capacity to become more inclusive for those with sensory issues
East Rutherford, NJ - American Dream will host two sensory days at Nickelodeon Universe Theme Park on April 26 and 27.
The park will create a safe environment in the park by reducing sensory triggers between 12 p.m. to 7 p.m.
During these two days, Nickelodeon Universe will be designed to minimize sensory triggers and promote a safe environment for the autism community by adjusting all lights — and limiting strobe lights. In addition, music will be turned down to a much lower volume and capacity will be limited.
"Lights will be adjusted and strobing lights will be at a minimum. Music will be turned low, and capacity will be regulated," Melissa Howard, Spokesperson for American Dream told Patch. "We are hoping that families attending the sensory days will feel welcomed and get the chance to comfortably enjoy the excitement at Nickelodeon Universe."
In 2018, one in 44 children aged 8 years was estimated to have autism spectrum disorder or ASD, according to the CDC. It's four times more common in boys than girls. So, some parks have adapted to be more inclusive.
"American Dream strives to have an inclusive environment for all of our guests. We are exploring additional options for these sensory sessions at our other attractions, and extending to a weekly basis," Howard said.
We’re doing our part to create a more inclusive environment for all guests in partnership with Spectrum Works, a unique nonprofit organization that’s dedicated to inclusion and education. That’s why during the month of April, we’ll offer two special sessions at Nickelodeon Universe, designed to minimize sensory triggers and provide a safe place for our neurodiverse friends.

It also features Side Hustle recurring cast members Kurt Ela, Matte Martinez and Reyn Doi.
During the event, Jules LeBlanc, Jayden Bartels, That Girl Lay Lay and Gabrielle Nevaeh Green will perform an original song titled “Worlds Collide,” which will be released on all major streaming platforms on Friday, April 22.
Following the crossover, Nickelodeon will also treat viewers to a special look at the new Paramount+ original series The Fairly OddParents: Fairly Odder, which premiered on the streaming platform on March 31.

Live-Action Crossover Event Signals A Bigger ‘Nickelodeon World’
The co-heads of Nick and Awesomeness live action discuss why they believe cross-pollinating characters works so well for today's audiences, and why we're likely to see more of it in the future.
Nickelodeon is testing out an all-encompassing “Nickelodeon World” this week, where live-action shows are not strictly siloed, and characters join forces across timeslots.
Ahead of the kidsnet’s new When Worlds Collide crossover event, Shauna Phelan and Zack Olin, co-heads of live action at Nickelodeon and Awesomeness, tell Kidscreen what inspired them to look at the bigger picture. The special episode of Side Hustle will also feature characters from Danger Force, That Girl Lay Lay, Tyler Perry’s Young Dylan and Warped! when it debuts tonight (April 21).
Phelan and Olin say crossovers work particularly well for kids shows because of the malleability in how young viewers perceive fictional worlds and their characters. “We believe audiences, more than ever, have a deep relationship with the characters that extends beyond the individual shows. Our audience’s lives aren’t siloed, so why should their shows be?”
Although the shows deal with different subjects—from crime-fighting superheroes, to creative money-making schemes—their shared foundation as comedies helped maintain consistency in the creative development of the special episode.
“You need to pair reverie for the brands with a worthy story, which Dave Malkoff, Ron Hart and John Beck have done,” say Phelan and Olin, highlighting the complementary overlap of creative talent involved. “Dave created Side Hustle but also worked on Henry Danger and Danger Force. Ron and John both executive produce on Side Hustle and That Girl Lay Lay, where Young Dylan has also guest-starred.”
The popularity of each of the Nickelodeon live-actioners involved inspired the net to consider a strategy for bringing the shows together with a more ambitious scope than a typical crossover, which usually involves only two to three shows, they explain. “We reframed [our thinking] from looking at individual shows to a view where we can realize the opportunities of one big ‘Nickelodeon World’ and thus deliver fans a uniquely epic experience.”
Nick has promoted the stunt on air as well as on social platforms like Twitter and Instagram, with behind-the-scenes candids of the cast becoming friends on set and teaser videos where the cast lets fans know what to expect. This making-of approach was the whole focus of the campaign, feeding social platforms with insider content as opposed to focusing on clips of interactions between each show’s characters, which is the more traditional strategy.
As for whether Nickelodeon is preparing to launch more crossovers in the near future, Phelan and Olin say it’s too early to comment. “But we have some exciting things in the works that we’re looking forward to sharing soon.”
