NICKELODEON UNIVERSE
Mall of America, Minn.
 Park News - (1/26/09) The massive Mall of America has announced that they still plan on expanding the property, though the speed of the expansion may be done in phases rather than all at once. According to the article it’s unclear how the previous plans to build a Bass Pro Shop or a Great Wolf Lodge resort would fit into the proposed smaller first phase expansion.
(10/20/08) A 5-year-old autistic boy managed to sneak away from his family while at the Mall of America and managed to climb a 5-6 foot tall security fence and climb up onto a walkway for the Ripsaw coaster. According to the story he briefly stepped out onto the tracks before one of the ride operators managed to pull him back to safety. Talk about a close call.
(7/9/08) Sorry to bash everyone’s hopes for a killer new indoor ride coming to Nickelodeon Universe but according to the news the new construction project is for a new 20,000 square-foot ‘American Girl’ retail store that will open in time for Christmas that will also include a restaurant area. Sorry… nothing to see here, move along.
(7/27/07) The Mall of America has signed a letter of intent with Great Wolf Resorts to incorporate one of their indoor waterparks as part of the Phase II expansion of the MOA. The inclusion of a Great Wolf Lodge is contingent on the final approval of the Phase II plans that need state approval for about $181 million in infrastructure funding.
