Taylor first visited the American Dream Mall back at the end of 2019, when the mall was newly opened. At the time, many of the rides at Nickelodeon Universe were delayed in opening. This led to a not so great experience. Now, 3 years later, he's back, and this time he brought Sarah and Tyler with him, plus a special surprise guest appearance! They'll experience many of the parks signature rides, explore the mall, and end things off with the Dream Wheel, giving an amazing view of New York City!

The fact that they haven’t named a coaster “The Fiery Fist O Pain” yet is actually criminal

@coasterbreakdown Год назад

I KNOW! To that, just make a glove world.

@DanTheCaptain Год назад

They probably don’t want one of their coasters to be named “pain” since that may deter so guests who are not aware that it is a reference to SpongeBob. But yeah I agree it should be called Firey Fist’o’Pain

@GloryRenault Год назад

can we just appreciate that this video is exactly 20 mins long?

@TheNinjaDC Год назад

I’m honestly surprised how good this mall looks now. It is so much more alive, and a complete experience. Before it looked like a post apocalyptic wasteland that just has a random theme park attached.

@colemanning8077 Год назад

The drop tower did use to have a longer drop cycle, where it would actually do a final drop with it stopping at the top

@drpenguin57 Год назад

yeah it used to spin at the top too iirc

@Robchacha Год назад

Yeah gave you 360 views of NYC and the surrounding area.

@MattMcIrvin Год назад

About front vs. back row on TMNT Shellraiser: It seems to me that on these Gerstlauer Euro-Fighter trains, the back row actually puts you mostly between the wheel bogies, closer to the train's center of rotation, whereas the front row extends out in front of the front bogie. So if there are potholes that mostly cause sudden pitching rotations of the train, people in the front ought to feel them more. That's my guess, at least.

@tieknarrow3676 Год назад

Yeah I have gone front and back and front is worse

@smuella Год назад

I experienced the same on other Eurofighters and I support your theory. I think being in front of the bogie makes the seats "swings" rapidly a little bit, similar to how on wing coasters, the outer seats are more rough than the inner ones.

@Digikid313 Год назад

You'll have to return to the Minnesota version of Nick Universe to ride the log flume (which seems to have switched to weekend only operation sadly). Riding that thing and just marveling at how they fit a fully themed log flume complete with multiple animatronics (including two giant ones to boot) into the park just ties it all together. There's no denying that the NJ location has the better thrill rides, but the MN location has that quality that makes me want to stay in the park longer and take it in, whereas the NJ location I find myself doing a lap or two of each ride before wanting to explore something else, rather than hang out in the park.

@billchief397 Год назад

Yes we'll themed despite a tragedy on it when it newly opened

@zanewebb2665 Год назад

Remember something-The Mall of America version is not only 25 years older than the New Jersey one, but it spent most of its existence as a Knotts Camp Snoopy, and simply had a lot of its existing rides rethemed and renamed, whereas the NJ park was built from the ground up by a largely bankrupt parent company Desperately trying to avoid being shut down by creditors….its a bloody miracle the park is even There, still!

I'm in the NY area & haven't gone yet because prices were really expensive and the mall was supposedly in trouble, like they were going to close imminently, but with this vidclip, that all changed...with many more people, the TV commercials, the new payment plans where you can pay per ride...you don't get screwed when things are closed, you just don't pay for that ride...plus you can stay for a bit & then hit the rest of the mall, see what else it has to offer...intend on going in the spring, after my upcoming double cruise end of February into first week of March...btw, love your channel, watch it all the time...would love to meet up at a park one of these days...was in LA & San Diego in November & bummed they changed the calendar for Magic Mountain to just weekends, so we missed out, and Knotts it was too cold & expensive & rainy, did not want to waste my $$, same with Sea World SD...was there for a cruise out of LA by the way...happy new year 2023!!

Please be safe out there you guys when you go to these indoor amusement parks in Mega Malls. There has been 3 shootings in 2022 at Mall Of America with the most recent one killing a 19-year old the day before Christmas Eve. There’s also been a shooting earlier this year at American Dream. Someone at the Mall of America also threw a 5-year old child of the railing from the third floor. So yeah, a lot of crazy people out there going to these mall to commit crimes so please stay safe out there. They really need to add metal detectors like at the major theme parks so they can prevent these bad things from happening.

@oneandonlysound3453 Год назад

It's in NJ and it's up closer to NY, I can't imagine why not having metal detectors is supposed to be ok when Florida parks even mostly have them now. I mean it's nice when some areas are so peaceful and not crime ridden it's all good but right now that's not really much of a thing.

@nicoledempsey3415 Год назад

As a New Yorker respectfully that makes no sense, MoA is definitely more susceptible to violence and I hope they put measures in place to keep people safe. The NY/NJ metro area is pretty safe especially when it concerns gun safety, I'd say the most prevalent issue currently is stealing (which always spikes when the economy is bad) but even then its pretty rare if you stay out of Midtown/Times Square. Metal detectors would be a bad investment with the low levels of gun violence, there are other less invasive ways to keep people safe.

@maxhagenauer24 Год назад

Lol images if there were actually shootings there, since when are there shootings anywhere near NYC?

@strudelninja Год назад

a big piece of art of a view "into the world of nick" would be cool and a great place to include ALL the shows and little easter eggs. Maybe they could wrap around and have parts coordinate so that rides get appropriate backdrops? There could be a big Aggro Crag mountain! Someone could sneak a Pete and Pete reference in somewhere (maybe a little Artie somewhere)

@Dmv216661 Год назад

@stevedurrell Год назад

Taylor pretty much nailed the cause for rough riding back row. If you look at a gerst train, the front seats are actually forward of the front bogies Wheras the back are on/above..... But..... Whereby on woodies you avoid a wheelseat for a smoother ride, this instance is the case on gersts because the front overhabe weight kind of acts as a pendulum exacerbating the roughness caused by the clearances between wheels and track... The roughness would be far worse if the front row is full and you're the only one on the back row. Hope that makes sense. Epicness as always guys. Keep up the awesomeness

Despite living less than half an hour away I’ve held off because I always heard pretty terrible things, then Sandy’s was closed it seemed permanently and I didn’t want to spend that much money if I couldn’t do every attraction especially since that one seems pretty fun.

The farther you are from the bogey in relation to your seat, the more you will feel the small directional changes from track vibrations. In simple terms, the closer you are to over the center of the bogey, the smoother it should be. Theoretically speaking of course.

@JFrombaugh Год назад

I visited this mall on a Sunday (aka blue laws in NJ) when there was also a Giants game going on, and it was actually fairly crowded. Maybe MrBeast’s little investment saved the place? Or maybe, management is actually starting to get their act together?

@uncannyramsay8727 Год назад

I lived almost all my life (unfortunately, but I'm so happy I finally moved out of state) near here and SFGADV, but more close to the boardwalks, and I have only been here once, the end of April in 2022 where there was a week where the tickets were half off. Such a shame things are staying more open now, Sandy nor the drop tower wasn't working at that time. The day I went was extremely dead, I was almost entirely their only customer for that day, so I made sure to go on every major ride because of that. Nothing much to complain about except for the outside drink policy, I'm someone that has to constantly drink something, and $7 cokes are not really worth it; refreshing, but not worth it. When people did come later in the day, I almost got an injury by one of the kids on one of the flat rides I was waiting in line for- basically coins out of his pocket were flying everywhere, and thank God for my quick reflexes, if I didn't step back in time they would've hit me on the head. Aside from that, Shellraiser was really fun!

Gale Force could've been smoother (even after the track was redone, and the third back seat is rough for $10 no way I'll ride it in the very back for that much). However aside from the backwards launch, yeah. Sandy's is far more rattly and breaks down far more often (it's intamin) too.
