Park News - (8/16/10) Theme Park Review invaded the Mall of America and Nick Universe. I’m so jealous… they still have the Tumbler there from back when it was Camp Snoopy. Don’t know if I’ll ever forgive Knott’s for removing that ride…

    (5/19/10) I’ve got an update about the missing Brain Surge report from Nickelodeon Universe. It seems that the entire ride was not removed, as the platform various drive motors were all still on site. The ride is reported as simply being closed from May 14-19th to “implement a enhanced modification from the factory”. The ride is intended to reopen sometime on Wednesday.
