Nick Universe
« on: Feb 2, 2010, 07:23 »
The Valleyfairzone guys posted on Twitter that Nick Universe is adding a Unicoaster.

Dick Chance Unicoaster Test Run #1

They also recently added towering rope obstacle course.  I was up there a couple of weekend ago and loved it.  It's an up-charge but well worth it IMO.  I attached a crappy phone pic of the rope thing.

Looty said that it was going to be a unicoaster over on RDC.

The ropes course is awesome, we did it a couple of weeks ago when we were up there.

Never been to Nick Universe but I'd love to check it out. Spongebob's ride looks pretty awesome. Maybe next year, maybe next year.

Have they announced what the unicoaster will be themed to?

No, but I guess it's themed to (or just named after) a show called Brain Surge that premiered on Nickelodeon.

Why did they theme rides to shows that were cancelled before the park even opened?  Yeah no one knows that either (here's looking at you Danny Phantom and Rugrats and Tak Attack)

Rugrats pretty much defined my generation's childhood. That was one of the signature cartoons of my era.
But I'll give you Danny Phantom and especially Tak Attack.
...and the clocks were striking thirteen.

Rugrats was the longest running Nick Toon ever, so having a tribute ride to them is fine... however Tak Attack, Danny Phantom and Naked Bros Band themed rides is down right re-re.

Is Wonder Pets still on?  ...and while we are at it, why aren't the Balloons, Big Trucks and Log Flume themed to Nick Toons yet?

They are ran out of meaningful Nick Toons to use!

They might as well just theme everything in that corner of the park to Sponge Bob and then the other corner of the park to Dora... OH WAIT, they already have

I know that I'm new and all but you seem awfully worked up over kid TV theming.  Would you suggest retheming the park every time a show is canceled?

I actually think that they new theme is much better than the old one even though I have no idea what runs on Nickelodeon.

I think that theme is overvalued. Just give me a place that is colorful, looks good, and doesn't smell. The mall does that. As long as I can ride that Avatar thing and do the trampoline thing I am good to go.

I too prefer the new theme.  I thought that I would hate it when it was announced.

I hope that they don't change the log flume.  I can't image it being very cheap to retheme it so it's probably safe.

I for one am glad they decided against the "Back at the Barnyard" theme that they were thinking about changing the Log Flume to.

Is CatDog being used as a theme? I remember that being a pretty good show. I watched it when I was growing up. If that has not been used then it should be used!
