Which Nickelodeon Universe Theme Park is Better- Minnesota or New Jersey? | Park Battle

[@RyyanAndreww]

I live in MN & grew up with Camp Snoopy / Nick Universe at MOA :) Nice seeing the comparisons between the two parks, I'm pretty jealous of NJ's eurofighter!

[@CanobieCoaster]

Shellraiser and Sandy's are better than any coaster at Mall of America.

[@DeFySniping]

i was born in '95 and i have some crazy vivid memories of camp snoopy. The peanuts characters walking around always scared the heck out of me. Incredible experience for a kid.

[@xcoasterenthusiast]

They should replace most of the ceiling at the Nickelodeon Universe at NJ with a glass ceiling and improve the entire park on appearance. I would do that if I became the owner of Triple 5

[@CanobieCoaster]

I would too.

[@moneyonfleek1992]

It’s because they rushed and just threw something together lol that mall in nj has take. Years and decades to build and complete just bad spot. They should’ve put the theme park in Florida

[@coasterhockygamingboy9549]

That’d be expensive as hell and it is brand new. But it could be a good idea because Newark is right there

[@UHoldThat]

They are in 5 billion dollars in debt they wouldn't be able to afford it the mall was a concept in the 1990s and was getting build around the 2000s i remember when it was called Xanadu instead of American dream and the building had all types of colors on the out of it

Tbh American Dream might be better once its fully completed in a few years. In Taylor’s review, he said “Don’t visit YET, wait until it’s fully completed.”

Very true!

[@sammyt9961]

It is under fifty bucks personally I grew up in California where that would be super cheap for a theme park

[@dougronald561]

I went to the NJ version yesterday and really liked it. I got the Twilight Admission, which is a reduced price for the last two hours of the day. I went on TMNT Shellraiser four times and also Slime Streak twice. TMNT is a world class coaster, and it even suspends you with a direct view of NYC through the window. Although Slime Streak is a moderate family coaster, I enjoyed it more because it only has minimal T-bar restraints. Sandy's Blasting Bronco has been down for a while, so I will have to go back once it starts running again. (It's an Intamin, so it's notoriously unreliable.)

[@CanobieCoaster]

Glad you enjoyed the park! The twilight ticket really is the best deal.

[@jeffnordeen9702]

Canobie: I grew up in Minnesota from early 90s until 2014. Went to Camp Snoopy more than I can count, and even Nickelodeon Universe a fair amount at MOA. I now am in PA so closer to American Dream and should give it a go just for the sake of it all but seeing this video: made me miss MOA and Our “indoor” park so much and realize it IS the better place. I know you didn’t cover the amenities of each respective mall, but I felt you failed to mention Fly Over America that’s within Nick Universe. While not affiliated, it is one very fun attraction. Lastly, MOA is just so opportunistic. With all its shops, food and other things to do; it’s where I’d choose to go any day. Thanks for the video. 🙂

[@CanobieCoaster]

MOA definitely has the better shops. American Dream has the amazing DreamWorks Water Park though.

[@lacrls]

I grew up going to what we called Camp Snoopy. I remember the Mighty Axe getting stuck about every week. The horror stories about people being stuck upside down for hours were regular news to us as kids. It wasn't even a fun ride but I still rode it because the possibility that it could get stuck was a big thrill.

[@CanobieCoaster]

It was still intriguing for me.

[@lacrls]

The ride was straight up boring

[@orchalemckinney3709]

I grew up in MN (in fact Moa and I are the same age lol) so I got to see both camp snoopy and nick universe in its entirety. I must admit I’m impressed with NJ version but nothing compares to the original. Sure NJ will one day probably be better simply because of ingenuity and structure that Moa can’t adapt to, but it’s something about Moas nostalgia that NJ just can’t beat. Every time I visit Moa the kid in me comes out lol. I also love how Moa has free parking AND several great venues for public transportation. American Dream is going to lose lots of money charging people for parking smh.

[@CanobieCoaster]

NJ may have the better thrills, but MN's atmsophere is so strong.

[@geschlonst]

7:28 I can understand it but i think that chiapas at phantasialand in germay is the better log flume, it has an unique mexican style theming, one of the best soundtracks of all time and also it has a total ride time of ca. 7 minutes including several "darkride parts" and 3 drops. I highly recommend visiting phantasialand aniway in my opinion it is one of the most underratest theme parks in the world.

[@CanobieCoaster]

I have been to Phantasialand and ridden Chiapas twice. I ever so slightly prefer Log Chute.

[@misterA2Z]

Additionally from what I understand in NJ they don’t have an exit & return option but Minnesota does, which helps with things like food & shopping. Here’s hoping the newness & pandemic in NJ they will be able to bring it up to more like Minnesota. Also a combo ticket between Nickelodeon Universe & DreamWorks water park would be a good option.

[@CanobieCoaster]

When I visited the NJ location before the pandemic, they did allow you to leave and re-enter. The no re-entry policy is temporary due to covid.

[@Jareddiamondansah]

[@colinmiller4946]

At the MOA park, you can walk around it without even paying I think, do they do that in NJ

I have more nostalgia for the MOA one than any other park as I came here a lot as a kid.

One comment on the food; in MN there is literally an entrance to the Hard Rock Cafe from the park, so it might as well be considered "in park". I'm biased since I live in the Twin Cities, so take it with a grain of salt. But I've always considered hard rock to be part of the park.

[@CanobieCoaster]

The mall food really helps the MN one.

[@stephanievitale1482]

I recommended to do this video! Thanks for doing it! MOA is nice but a lot of rides are kids only so that is a downfall but it is cheaper. My jaw dropped when I heard the American dream price that’s like Six Flags. I do hope to get to American dream though when visiting family back in NY soon.

[@Marchant2]

I'm hoping that the New Jersey park is still a work in progress and will eventually surpass the Mall of America park. On top of that, the MOA park is in the center of the mall, which means there's no place to expand. The New Jersey park is on the outer edge of the mall. Additionally, the New Jersey mall has a water park and ski slopes to add to the attractions outside the amusement park. The bottom line is there is much more potential in New Jersey whereas in the Mall of America, it's seems more of a done deal.

I hope the NJ one can add some more atmosphere.

The only good thing i like about NJ theme park is that dispatches are faster, so it means you can go to the rides faster.

"These parks rely on the mall's food options" Lol, if only there were tenets in American Dream. As of last month when I went, the only "restaurant" open was a Dunkin Donuts. I don't see this getting any better honestly. With American Dream opening up during a Pandemic, as well as its isolated location and being worlds away from any sort of public transit, and the fact they are planning to CHARGE for parking (at a f#$&ing mall)... why would literally any business want to pay rent at a place that actively discourages people from casually coming in to shop in this way? The ONLY people I could imagine visiting the place are tourists who are simply there to go to the waterpark or amusement park, as I was. & given the insane, mind boggling price of admission to the 2 parks, NOBODY in their right mind is going to want to spend even more money in the mall afterwards. I get the reasons for a fixed entry price at the waterpark, but the way they structured Nickelodeon Universe is idiotic. Although I was there specifically for the waterpark, it sure was sad to pass up on Sandy & Shellraiser since I couldn't just pay per ride. Charging $70 for a park with literally 2 rides I actually care about is so dumb. Although the waterpark does slap, I can't help but somewhat cheer for the downfall of American Dream's current management. They are so elitist for thinking people would come out in droves to pay 3x the normal rate for a waterpark AND be willing to deal with $20 parking fees... AT A MALL. It's just wrong.

[@CanobieCoaster]

And I just saw Nickelodoen Universe raised their weekend price to $90 and I heard you have a time slot regardless if you're there on a weekend or weekday. Many of the decisions this park is making confuses me, but if they're making money I can't blame them.

Let's not forget the water park, ski slope , mirror maze, mini golf course, museum, laser tag, aquarium, ice skating rink now included at American Dream mall.

I hope American Dream gets more love in the next couple of years

[@CanobieCoaster]

Same!

[@ThrillsofColdplay]

@@CanobieCoaster it probably will

[@julieanaprah2509]

I was there with my family three times now and it is a great park.. there is re-entry when u wish to go shopping and come back.. btw the parking in the American dream mall is only $3 dollars all day.. I don’t know where he got 30 dollars from.. not true and I go to that mall all the time.. the rides do get service while ur there but it’s for safety reasons bc u don’t want to b stuck in a ride for hours if it gets damage.. Jersey has very strict rules about that.. the locations isn’t bad and I don’t care about glass ceiling.. for that then go to great adventure and do it all outside.. the log ride can’t compare to splash mountain at Disney world..

[@xxRachelxx9483]

To be honest, NJ is just not that kid friendly, however MN has kid friendly rides such as some thrilling rides for adults \ teens.

[@CanobieCoaster]

NJ has added an infIux of kiddie rides since I made this video.

[@realmackle]

NJ would win if the rides werent closed basically 5 days out of the week

[@CanobieCoaster]

Log Chute and Minnesota's atmosphere gives that park the edge for me.

[@realmackle]

@@CanobieCoaster for sure. I love Shellraiser's look and a lot of nj's coasters are interesting in general but I agree

[@thomascleveland]

This was a great comparison. So I'm gonna award a half like to this video. However, several other theme park review videos provide a identicle experience so there will be no sub awarded.

[@CanobieCoaster]

That's fair.

[@sergeantjadonsoriginalchan3063]

i haven't been to american dream but can agree mall of america staff can be rude sometimes once i kid moved the swing ride the operater yelled on the intercom system the operator himself never even smiled or said hello.

[@CanobieCoaster]

Haven't had that issue at MOA.

[@derfvcderfvc7317]

Isn't time traveler a larger free spinner

[@CanobieCoaster]

Larger spinner, yes. Shredder is technically the largest free spinner per the park. While Time Traveler's spin isn't controlled, it is slowed down intentionally.

[@jonahthehedgehog6550]

I prefer the one at Minnesota's Mall of America.

[@CanobieCoaster]

Me too.

[@jonahthehedgehog6550]

​@@CanobieCoaster You know, now I'm starting to like both the one at Mall of America and the one at American Dream.

[@robertliput2419]

I’ve only been to American Dream but one day I want to got to Mall Of America but I love AM and is a good park

[@CanobieCoaster]

I agree both are fun.

[@ryan-on8ou]

I live very close to the one in New Jersey, and I can't really go to the mall of America

[@CanobieCoaster]

Understandable.

[@chrismore5956]

I never been to either one of these and I live in Pennsylvania so one day in my life I may visit the one on New Jersey the Minnesota may work but I don’t know when I will travel that way

[@CanobieCoaster]

New Jersey has the better coasters at least.

[@chrismore5956]

@@CanobieCoaster ok nice been a Nickelodeon fan and know that is at both parks. Almost feels like it’s Great Wolf Lodge, but a huge mall of fun. At least both these malls are more alive than the Phillipsburg Mall

[@MiaRTV]

I posted a Nick universe vlog bc u inspired me💛

Coaster prediction ranking at these parks MOA: 5. Back at the Barnyard 4. Pepsi Orange Streak 3. Avatar Airbender 2. Fairly Odd Coaster 1. Spongebob American Dream 5. Slime Streak 4. Timmy’s Half Pipe 3. Shredder 2. Sandy’s Blasting Bronco 1. TMNT Shellraiser

[@CanobieCoaster]

The EuroFighters were in second place for me at both parks.

[@coasterhockygamingboy9549]

@@CanobieCoaster oh cool. I think they look first in both in my opinion. What’s your list?

[@CanobieCoaster]

I have Sandy's and Pepsi Orange Streak at one. Although Log Chute is better than any coaster.

[@coasterhockygamingboy9549]

@@CanobieCoaster Lil Phantom is better than every coaster ever. He’s our king 👑

@@CanobieCoaster same :(

[@lan_1]

I just went to the nj one because its closer but if i had a choice id go to the mall of america but the nj one is still super fun

[@CanobieCoaster]

It has a good lineup, but the NJ one is pricey.

[@DerekNormann]

MINNESOTAAAA DUB

[@CanobieCoaster]

Win here

[@brianwolf399]

I would have given a point to Mall of America for food since you can go to any location in the mall eat and then come back to the park all without having to pay to re enter the park

[@CanobieCoaster]

Before covid, you could do that at the NJ location as well. The no re-entry rule is temporary.

[@jacksonmonk6525]

Mall of america would be a little bit better if they put back the jimmy neutron ride because that is a rare ride

[@CanobieCoaster]

I rode one at the Washington State Fair and enjoyed it.

[@Pokehon]

I need to check out NJ but I love MN

[@CanobieCoaster]

NJ has better coasters.
