NICKELODEON UNIVERSE Formerly known as: The Park at MOA, Camp Snoopy & Knott’s Camp Snoopy Mall of America, Minn.
Park News - (5/15/08) According to the local news an incident took place at Nickelodeon Universe on the Backyardigans Swing-Along ride that caused minor leg injuries to two children and two adults. No major details have been released yet other than a mall spokesperson saying that the ride malfunctioned and was going “faster than normal”. More on this when we find out. (3/14/08) Nickelodeon Universe will officially open this Saturday, March 15th. (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. (7/26/07) The Park at MOA has finally announced a new name and identity for the 2008 season: Nickelodeon Universe. The park will be rethemed and offer a few new attractions next March to go along with the new Nick theme, but will remain open during the transition. This is due to a 10 year deal signed between the park and Nickelodeon.
