Nickelodeon Universe (MOA) Discussion Thread

Hopefully they will begin actual building of the ride tonight.

The more and more I see this space, it seems that the Adventuredome could very well fit one of these in the park.

Theres a few peices of track there now too.

I was at IKEA yesterday. Didn't see any track. Must be in there.

I just wanted to point out that there are now LIMS starting to be installed on the Avatar ride.

Onjce they start on the EF I dont think it will take them long to finish it!

They are actually LSMs but they are almost the same thing. I know they was one stater on Avatar Monday night. I also figured that they probably installed staters on Avatar since Spongebob received no work last night.

There is also some new concrete in the Splat-O-Sphere area.

The park looks like a CF park with all the trees removed, but hopefully the theming balances it out.

I am impressed with the speed they are working on this "new" park, and I'm surprised that it is still open as I expected it to close for several months.

Well, there never acually was many trees in that area, just a jumbo and oversized fountain that lost it's feel after Snoopy left. But I agree with you on the Cedar Fair concrete statement.

Looks like a few track pieces are located around the area!

I spy aqua colored track!

They finished off the white linings and it looks like they brought in a few pieces of wood.

I love the color scheme on avatar! I have to make my way to Mall of America when this opens. Question, I forgot but how many attractions are they supposed to be adding?

They will add the Eurofighter (Spongebob), the halfpipe (Avatar), a spring tower (Splat-o-sphere), kiddie bumper cars (Rugrats themed), and a ride called "Blue's Skidoo"

^ I'm surprised they're using the Rugrats. It's rare that the show is on anymore. (yeah, I still watch Nickelodeon)

I spoke with the GM today and he said that "steel will be raised tonight" so keep an eye on the webcams tonight if you get a chance.

I wonder what those white linings are for...

I cant wait to see this thing go up. If I dont see it before I go to bed its the first thing I check in the morning!

Just past the crane on the left side is a bit of track up on a support. Whatever else has been done is out of view. That's all at about 2 am.

On a related note, Tiny Tim's "Living in the Sunlight, Loving in the Moonlight" is available on iTunes. That's one of the goofy, yet catchy songs played in one of the first couple seasons of SpongeBob.

EDIT: Will post some pics while I'm up from time to time so you don't miss the changes, Kraken613.

Yay! Track is up!

I give it until the end of January and this thing should be close to testing, if it is anything like TT. I wonder if that is the turn out of the station to the lift, and if it is, it is kind of facing a wierd direction.

Here is a picture with better lighting of what they have done so far.

It's kinda amazing to me about how fast it's taking for the park to build these rides. Can't wait for more!

I agree! ^

Valleyfairzone will have more pics from today up soon so stay tuned!

I cant wait to see better pictures!

^Sweet!

I also took pictures today too but i won't be able to get them up until later tonight.

The pics are up in the Valleyfairzone Picture Gallery! Take a look!

Nice pics.

Spongebob should really start to fly in the next week.

I don't know if i mentioned this in the past, but the Park was looking at the S&S Screaming Squirrel and the Maurer Sohne X-Car concept in addition to the Gerstlauer EF when they were shopping around for new rides...i think they chose the better one.
