  • The original Nickelodeon Universe theme park is located in the Mall of America in Bloomington, Minnesota. This park originally opened as Camp Snoopy, but it was transformed into the world's first Nickelodeon themed amusement park in 2008. When the American Dream Mall in New Jersey opened in 2019, it included the second Nickelodeon Universe theme park. But is the new one better than the original? Find out in this park battle!

    I grew up in MN (in fact Moa and I are the same age lol) so I got to see both camp snoopy and nick universe in its entirety. I must admit I’m impressed with NJ version but nothing compares to the original. Sure NJ will one day probably be better simply because of ingenuity and structure that Moa can’t adapt to, but it’s something about Moas nostalgia that NJ just can’t beat. Every time I visit Moa the kid in me comes out lol. I also love how Moa has free parking AND several great venues for public transportation. American Dream is going to lose lots of money charging people for parking smh.

    I went to the NJ version yesterday and really liked it. I got the Twilight Admission, which is a reduced price for the last two hours of the day. I went on TMNT Shellraiser four times and also Slime Streak twice. TMNT is a world class coaster, and it even suspends you with a direct view of NYC through the window. Although Slime Streak is a moderate family coaster, I enjoyed it more because it only has minimal T-bar restraints. Sandy's Blasting Bronco has been down for a while, so I will have to go back once it starts running again. (It's an Intamin, so it's notoriously unreliable.)

    I'm hoping that the New Jersey park is still a work in progress and will eventually surpass the Mall of America park. On top of that, the MOA park is in the center of the mall, which means there's no place to expand. The New Jersey park is on the outer edge of the mall. Additionally, the New Jersey mall has a water park and ski slopes to add to the attractions outside the amusement park. The bottom line is there is much more potential in New Jersey whereas in the Mall of America, it's seems more of a done deal.

    One comment on the food; in MN there is literally an entrance to the Hard Rock Cafe from the park, so it might as well be considered "in park". I'm biased since I live in the Twin Cities, so take it with a grain of salt. But I've always considered hard rock to be part of the park.

    Canobie: I grew up in Minnesota from early 90s until 2014. Went to Camp Snoopy more than I can count, and even Nickelodeon Universe a fair amount at MOA. I now am in PA so closer to American Dream and should give it a go just for the sake of it all but seeing this video: made me miss MOA and Our “indoor” park so much and realize it IS the better place. I know you didn’t cover the amenities of each respective mall, but I felt you failed to mention Fly Over America that’s within Nick Universe. While not affiliated, it is one very fun attraction. Lastly, MOA is just so opportunistic. With all its shops, food and other things to do; it’s where I’d choose to go any day. Thanks for the video. 🙂

I love the logging theme that lives on at Nick U MOA. The log chute is great. MOA did remove its most unique ride, to build a play place (boo). American dream is also a brand new mall, MOAs theme park area was built about 30 years ago. They did a great job adding new attractions in that confined space. It can't compete with a 30 year newer building.

    "These parks rely on the mall's food options"
    Lol, if only there were tenets in American Dream. As of last month when I went, the only "restaurant" open was a Dunkin Donuts. I don't see this getting any better honestly. With American Dream opening up during a Pandemic, as well as its isolated location and being worlds away from any sort of public transit, and the fact they are planning to CHARGE for parking (at a f#$&ing mall)... why would literally any business want to pay rent at a place that actively discourages people from casually coming in to shop in this way? The ONLY people I could imagine visiting the place are tourists who are simply there to go to the waterpark or amusement park, as I was. & given the insane, mind boggling price of admission to the 2 parks, NOBODY in their right mind is going to want to spend even more money in the mall afterwards.
    I get the reasons for a fixed entry price at the waterpark, but the way they structured Nickelodeon Universe is idiotic. Although I was there specifically for the waterpark, it sure was sad to pass up on Sandy & Shellraiser since I couldn't just pay per ride. Charging $70 for a park with literally 2 rides I actually care about is so dumb.
    Although the waterpark does slap, I can't help but somewhat cheer for the downfall of American Dream's current management. They are so elitist for thinking people would come out in droves to pay 3x the normal rate for a waterpark AND be willing to deal with $20 parking fees... AT A MALL. It's just wrong.

    I haven't been to the location at American Dream yet, but I bet I'd pick the location at Mall of America because of how that park has a better variety of ride options with the Log Chute and Ghost Blasters.

    If you are at the Mall of America inside of Nickelodeon Universe but you want to eat lunch at a restaurant outside the park, but then you want to still be at N.U after you are done, is there a fee or do you have to sign out to leave and then pay again when you come back.

    And here in Phoenix, now the 5th largest city in America, we have 1 little 5 acre park with two roller coasters each a 45 second ride, a little traveling carnival log ride and a couple of other rides and mini golf. I don't understand why a city this size (5 million + in the greater Phoenix Metro) can't have a huge indoor amusement park like this! We need it!

    If you liked Log Chute at Nickelodeon Universe Minnesota, then you better ride Chiapas at Phantasialand. Built by Intamin, it has exactly the same feats you are looking for. Superb theming, a great soundtrack, and the rest in just as complete a package as the Log Chute. I haven't ridden it yet, so that's judging by the POV.

    Let's not forget the water park, ski slope , mirror maze, mini golf course, museum, laser tag, aquarium, ice skating rink now included at American Dream mall. I think as far as overall indoor theming experience, without the whole mall experience, American dream mall is far better. For the overall whole Mall experience along with some indoor theming included Mall of America, takes the cake. It's obviously the more established of the two.

      I was there with my family three times now and it is a great park.. there is re-entry when u wish to go shopping and come back.. btw the parking in the American dream mall is only $3 dollars all day.. I don’t know where he got 30 dollars from.. not true and I go to that mall all the time.. the rides do get service while ur there but it’s for safety reasons bc u don’t want to b stuck in a ride for hours if it gets damage.. Jersey has very strict rules about that.. the locations isn’t bad and I don’t care about glass ceiling.. for that then go to great adventure and do it all outside.. the log ride can’t compare to splash mountain at Disney world..
