Thanks for the update! I don't know if it has been mentioned, but that construction over by Spongebob is for a new slide that is being built as a part of the ropes course. I guess it will be an option to get back down for people who get to the top of the ropes course.

Also, the new Gerstlauer flat is being touted by park management as the most themed ride in the park.

I also heard a chirp about Danny Phantom and Tumbler not having much time left at the park. They both are high-maintenance rides and together they occupy a rather large footprint.

From Nickelodeon Universe's Facebook!
Introducing our new thrill ride, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Shell Shock, scheduled to debut in March 2012! Shell Shock will take riders 70ft in the air in a matter of seconds reaching up to 25 mph. Each rider will control their seat which can rotate wildly like a plane propeller or a gentle teeter-totter like a seesaw making no two ride experiences the same.


I'm pretty excited about this ride! It's going to be a great addition to the park.

I really don't understand a TMNT theme in a Nickelodeon-themed amusement park. Plus, TMNT was a 90s thing, now it's not that popular.

^Nickelodeon actually owns TMNT now. They are also premiering a new series for it later this year.

Oh ok. I was about to also write how this looks completely out of place and I don't understand. But if Nick bought the rights and is redoing the series again, that's actually an awesome tie-in!

I don't know, I just don't like the concept art for this, it looks odd where it is.

This is fantastic news! I love TMNT, at least when I was little, and the ride looks totally fun! Should be great.

Haha, you guys have basically covered my initial reactions. I remember TMNT (still) being popular when I was, like, 3. Not surprised there's going to be a new series making it relevant again, explaining why it's worthy of a ride theme.

Cute name...I'm generally a fan of rides that are somehow interactive, so this looks like fun.

Is this ride replacing anything? I'm just curious, because indoor locations like MoA are very land-locked.
