Nickelodeon's Time Capsule That WON'T BE OPENED Until 2042

Back in the '90s, an incredibly special Nickelodeon event was held that serves as an interesting moment in the network's history - they actually buried a time capsule to be opened 50 years in the future!

Well think about it. In 1992, the only way to record something was with the use of a video camera and a cassette inside of it. When it becomes 2042, we might have something either still be using smartphones to record the unopening or something more advanced like smart glasses. That is what makes the Nick Capsule so interesting. How far we've progressed in history. And that's why when I am 40, cuz today I just turned 18, imma find my way to the unopening of the Nick Time Capsule and witness history in the making!

I remember seeing a comment from a former employee of the Nick Hotel that after they redid the hotel to the Holiday Inn, they had a hard time trying to find the actual capsule and had to do sonar detections just to find it to no avail, which is probably why there hasn't been any pictures of the time capsule since the suppose move to the Nick Studios in CA

[@wturner777]

That's exactly what happened. Since the hotel rebranding, Nickelodeon immediately took the capsule with them and buried it at their current studios in Burbank. Hopefully the capsule itself remained unopened after it's been dug up and moved twice.

I love time capsules and it's exciting Nick has one even if it filled primarily with objects we still have today.

Just a theory, but I think during the first move or second move they probably removed the contents and either placed it in a more secure container (which would make logical sense) or they took the stuff out and have it in a warehouse under "time capsule" so when the moment does occur everything would look rather pristine. Since typically things in time capsules often either rot, fade and become damage.
