The brand new Nickelodeon Universe amusement park and the NHL regulation-sized ice rink will be the only two things inside the 3 million square foot development in the Meadowlands that will be open to visitors when the highly anticipated venue begins its chaptered opening.
The amusement park will feature more than 20 rides, including three world record-breaking roller coasters and a record-breaking nine-story ropes course. Visitors will also be able to interact with their favorite Nickelodeon characters and see daily performances on the Nickelodeon Slime Stage.
Chapter One, dubbed “Thrills & Chills,” was teased Tuesday in a video posted to American Dream’s Instagram account.
In the video, the camera sweeps through the 8.5 acre indoor theme park, passed towers adorned with images of Dora the Explorer and SpongeBob SquarePants. Then The Shellraiser, one of the record setting-rollercoasters, comes into view.
Don Ghermezian, President and CEO of American Dream, posted to his personal Instagram account a video of himself and others taking an inaugural ride on The Shellraiser.
The Shellraiser will hold the record for steepest plunge with a 122-foot drop. Another record setting coaster, The Shredder, will be the tallest and longest free-spinning roller coaster. Both rides are inspired by Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. And the Skyline Scream will have record for the the tallest indoor spinning drop tower.
Ghermezian also posted a look inside the DreamWorks Waterpark on Instagram. The camera pans across the 1.5 acre wave pool from one side of the 8.5 acre indoor water park to the other. A tangle of waterslides -- the park will have 40 slides in total -- can be seen at each end, along with construction workers and equipment.
The DreamWorks Waterpark is scheduled to open Wednesday, November 27, and will provide the second chapter for American Dream’s opening
Chapter Three will follow Thursday, December 5 with the opening of Big SNOW, an 800 foot long, 200 foot wide and 16 stories tall indoor ski and snowboard park.
And Chapter Four, the final segment, will open in March 2020 with 350 shops and more than 100 places to eat, including more than 20 full-service restaurants.
