I went to Nickelodeon Studios in Florida in 2002 and stood in line for Slime Time Live for like 3 hours just to be on the show. I was the 30th kid in line out of 30 kids they allopwed. And then lo and behold, due to technical difficulties, Slime Time Live was cancelled that day. I turn 27 tomorrow and I'm still bitter as hell.

My sister and I grew up in Orlando (90s teens) We made friends with some of the cast of All That through doing background extra work through a talent agency. We were invited to come to a few tapings of the show and it was always so much fun watching the musical guests perform. Also, getting schooled by Keenan on street fighter in the green room was pretty awesome. RIP 90s Nick.

@Todd82TA 5 лет назад

Nick still films a lot of shows in Orlando. My daughter used to watch "Every Witch Way," which is filmed there. Most of the cast are all from Miami (my daughter is friends with one of them). I don't know if they STILL do it now, but they did up until just a few years ago. If you watch Nick, many of the advertisements for products are also filmed in Central Florida too. I don't really get why Nickelodeon hasn't been more successful lately... it's not that Disney XD is better, or anything... I think kids are just harder to market to since they don't all watch cable anymore.

@tinkerbell1129mew 5 лет назад

I am so jelly, Jesse V. I always wanted to go to Orlando, but never got the chance. It's so sad how Nickelodeon ended up these days. I really miss the 90s Nick.

Related story, I was the opening chef of the Nickelodeon Hotel. We had our grand opening shortly before Nick Studios closed. I got a call up from someone in their facilities department that we could have their two large industrial Hobart floor mixers that they had used to make their slime, whipped cream, etc for years. It caught us off guard because there was no relationship between the hotel and the Studios or UO (other than the resort licensing the Nick name and characters and much of the opening staff, like me, came from UO). So, we rented a box truck, drove through the UO backlot and onto the soundstage floor. They loaded them in with forklifts (these things weigh about a half a ton each). What was weird is there were still sets up for whatever was last filmed there. However, there seemed to be a lot of work crews actively taking down lights and equipment. It was an uncomfortable feeling, as everything seemed to be happening real fast and the Nick employees I encountered seemed understandably deflated. I was given only two days to pick up the mixers or they would have been disposed of. When I showed up with the truck to pick them up, the Facilities person I had just spoken to the day before had already been laid off. Really sad. Anyways, we ended up not keeping the Nick Studio machines as we already had a mixer that met the resort's needs. Our F&B director traded them to a local high-end bakery for a year's worth of product.

@ZeroKage69 5 лет назад

I went here but it must have just been the tour because it was awful, at least to 6 year old me. I wanted to be on TV or at least meet someone I saw on TV but it was a dark studio of disappointment. This was 1996. I didn't even recognize anything from all the shows I watched at the time. I remember leaving thinking this must have just been almost like a fake set just used for tours to make guests think they were at the real location they recorded at or something. I didn't understand I just went on a tour and wasn't at a live recording. I recall them calling people up to try out some gameshow stuff and I was looking around like 'this isn't how double dare works, wtf is this BS?' and the rest of the tour made me think the same.

@JessIdlehart 7 лет назад

I'm watching this video at my desk in the new Nick building in Burbank. Great video! I really wish I had worked at Nick during that era, in that building. The late 80s/early 90s Memphis style studios really enhanced the feeling that cartoons were being made there, by being cartoonish themselves.

@DanteRaddd 7 лет назад

Jess Iglehart that's so cool that you work at nick! I want to work there one day to make my own series

@SouthsideArchives Год назад

I know this was 5 years ago, but if you can.. what's it like working in the building in California? Is it animated and have character? I always heard employees in Orlando say it truly felt like working in a kid's network. I just hope that environment isn't gone and replaced with contemporary/minimalist offices.

@crystalmethany1312 6 лет назад

being born in 2002, i was not around for nickelodeon’s heyday, but I was around for the aftermath of the 90s. a lot of the bright colors and specific animation styles of the 90s really resonated with me, and the whole aesthetic that nickelodeon studios had feels like a universally nostalgic thing. I wish that I could say i have memories at the studio, but I only went once in 2004, and not only was it all but completely dead at that point, i was also too young to remember it. I think back on nickelodeon studios with a fondness, though, and a longing for an era that i wasnt fortunate enough to have been able to experience in its fullest. also, i was in the studio audience for one of the last episodes of splat. i fully intend to look through all of the episodes until i can find a little baby me in the audience.

@nattychamps9098 6 лет назад

Trust me. I was a 90's kid threw the entire decade. It was an amazing time. But at least we have youtube for those memories.

@MacGuffinExMachina 6 лет назад

2000's for me were mostly a bust. 90's were like the second 50's. Nothing relatively terrible was going on. So much shit was targeted to kids and they really understood what we liked. Kids don't like really kiddie stuff. We wanted a little edge, but not too much, where it would go over our heads or be a bummer. That was how it was. It wasn't just kid stuff either. TV in general was good. I mean yeah, today we have some really good shows that are almost like movies and better than what we grew up with, but there are so few of them. I remember Discovery Channel having a show called Movie Magic, where they showed behind the scenes stuff and how they did effects. There were more nature shows. Movies coming on cable often had a host that added more to the experience, especially Joe Bob Briggs. I'd stay up late and sneak to watch a scary movie with him hosting and making jokes before a commercial break. So much good shit. Then the 00's broke, and 9/11 happened. MTV was already starting to suck in the late 90's. I became 13 in 2000, which meant the end of childhood. I hated my teens. I dealt a lot with mental illness, but at least that shit went away in my late teens... but culture still sucked. Now, finally, in the 10's, we have better access to the old stuff. We have RU-vid, which has a similar kind of variety. Even though a lot of people are complaining, there is still tons of good content on here. Also, nerd culture is acceptable now. I'm really liking this decade.

@tiffprendergast 4 года назад

MacGuffin yup

@-Anonymous-. Год назад

@@MacGuffinExMachina2000’s was a great era for kids, “kids” being what this video is about, not society as a whole lol. A 90s baby/2000’s kid EASILY had some of the best media & entertainment growing up. Also a great balance of evolving technology & not being fully dependent on it.

@LowgaenSchmidt 6 лет назад

I never got to go there, but being a kid in the 90's gave me the chance to see it on TV a lot. And I did get to experience Slime Time Live over the phone. They put a kid in the chair to be slimed and put the phone number on the screen to call in. I begged my grandma to call and she did. I got to answer the trivia question or whatever it was, and when I got the correct answer, the kid got slimed. So at least I can say some kid got slimed thanks to me.

@namsake5966 6 лет назад

I was actually there to see Foster The People at Hard Rock Cafe and after the show I went to the bathroom in the building near the back of the Hard Rock Cafe and there's still a green slime logo on the bathroom tile! Fun little easter egg.

@YesterworldEntertainment 7 лет назад

I always wonder if I were a kid today, how would I feel about Nickelodeon as it's currently presented? Like you, the 90's/early 2000's of Nick were such a huge part of my life...so did I outgrow Nick, or did Nick outgrow me?

@darkobunnybabe 7 лет назад

Yesterworld Entertainment hmm... Never thought about it that way.

@YesterworldEntertainment 7 лет назад

Personally, I absolutely loved Spongebob growing up, and still can watch the older eps and laugh out loud...the newer ones, not so much (I've tried). But I just can't tell if it's my getting older, or the quality itself. I suppose it's the chicken/egg debate.

@darkobunnybabe 7 лет назад

Yesterworld Entertainment I agree! I can still watch the old ones, and I've watched some of the newer ones and unfortunately the material just isn't fresh, the jokes aren't funny and it seems like the show tries to hard to be weird or relate to modern youth. That's what I got from it...lol

@wendyokoopa7048 6 лет назад

@rockslime 7 лет назад

I went to the studio in 1995 and 2000. I took the tour and got to play in the game lab. I didn’t get pick to get slimed due to being 16 and in 11 grade. I now live in LA and going to school for entertainment business management and hop to get an internship next year and become a full time employee.

@Juichi 7 лет назад

It's okay. I was in middle school when I went and it seemed like they would always pick elementary age kids. I was so disappointed.

@colinmiller8824 6 лет назад

I think it should be everyone under 18 to be slimed

@SLSmith_96 6 лет назад

Which is weird to me considering that they seemingly used a lot of kids in the age group of 12-14 (Junior High) for their game shows.

Video correction: Warner cable purchased transponder space in 1979, not 1976, which was launched in 1975, 4 years prior. Sources contradicted each other. The last tour given was April 30th, not April 20th. Hey all! This has always been one of my most requested videos, but I have always been hesitant as the same subject video by “Bright Sun Films” did such a fantastic job exploring the topic. However, with a blessing from Jake himself, whose fascinating videos were part of the inspiration for starting this channel, and hoping I could bring something new to the table in style or substance, I decided to try my own take on the subject. So I hope you enjoy, and thank you so much for watching!! Mark aka Yesterworld

I was part of a group of kids picked to be in the G.A.S games and sports shorts that where played between episodes on Nickelodeon. It was a winter themed show, they had us playing hockey and build a snowman competition. The host was a guy named Matty I think. I remember it being so fun, but it literally took all day and we didn't end up doing anything in universal studios that day. My parents still have a VHS tape of the episode at their house!

@Inurantchan 6 лет назад

I visited the studio, starting in the mid-late '90s right up until it's closure as a kid. The description that visitor gave about the tour was exactly how I as a kid felt about it, having been a huge fan of the live action shows/game shows that were filmed there. I was too young at the time to realize I could have been a part of them, so when I heard the studio was shutting down production on the few shows they still filmed there in 2003 I made it my mission to at least get into the audience of slime time live. I stood in line all day with my dad, and was able to get in to see the show. Not only that, but I was picked from the audience to be in the show. I was on one of the final episodes of the series, wherein I threw a ball at a target and on my final throw I dunked Drake Bell into slime winning the game. It was one the best moments of my life, being part of a show I loved and getting to meet an actor I really liked. I miss the studio immensely. This video was a fun reminder of it, thanks for doing it!

@brier1289 6 лет назад

Inuranchan you got lucky! I also waited on line to get in during one of the last episodes and we couldn't get in. My 9 year old self was beyond pissed lol

@Inurantchan 6 лет назад

Oh dang...I was visiting for about...one or two weeks and I got in that line multiple times and didn't get into the show either so I totally understand. That line was huge lol. I only got picked to play in the game because of my dad too. They had decorations all over the set for the summer, and they were covering the entrance that was being used by the cast and crew. People would have to duck each time they went through it so my father started holding it up for them as they passed and they would each thank him for it softly as they went underneath it. One time after they passed, they doubled back and asked him if I was his kid. He said yes and they asked me if I wanted to be on the show. He later told me he did that on purpose because he was hoping they would pick me if he did lol.

@patrickcowles2782 6 лет назад

What I don't understand is why they didn't just create another Nickelodeon Studios in Universal California to avoid all of Florida's operations being relocated to a studio. They could've done the same exact thing that they did in Florida in California.

@YesterworldEntertainment 6 лет назад

I've wondered the same thing.

@ms.lesarenay9450 6 лет назад

Right that's how I feel. It was like a complete sell out. I feel that if they wanted a place out in California so bad, then they needed to start from the ground up just like Florida. Make your own shows and tapings. What a very sad down fall. Almost as bad as blockbuster.

@Kaboomboo 6 лет назад

I don't know why they moved to Cali in the first place. They were doing just fine in Florida.

@2die4_93 6 лет назад

zeldafreak701 Heard that some of the actors wanted to stay in Cali instead of FL.

I got to go back in 1999, when they were still putting together the set for what would be Double Dare 2000, and we got to see it from the floor above. I remember getting to try some of the slime, since it's meant to be edible. I think the batch we got was banana flavor.

I truly love all your videos. i was delighted to see nickelodeon ,florida featured as i had opportunity to cut my teeth in set design and scenic carpentry working in 2000 - 2002 building the sets and challenges for "Slime Time Live" and some other Game Labs showcases. I have rebuilt and repaired a few times over a Practical effect in the Gak Kitchen {something we called the slime tube...Yes, i know the recipe for slime. doesn't taste good but doesn't taste bad} and on one occasion I Have drained the Slime Geyser for service at 330am. Getting to build and engineer the gameshow features for the park was so cool, having grown up on You cant do that on Television" The couple of fellows i worked for back then had been the original set and scenic designers from the parks original Nickelodeon Studios attraction, and the I know that moving Features to CA definitely robbed a big part of development budget from FL, i met these folks after the "Good Days".. Your program brought back a lot of fond memories of my early career .Thanks,and keep up the great show!

@Warios4Christians 7 лет назад

Also, alot of the shows got ported over to the Games and Sports network "GAS",some are still in syndication today.

@namsake5966 6 лет назад

John, I always noticed a difference in the slime from "You Can't DO That..." and what was used in later iterations (like Double Dare). The older stuff looked chunkier and didn't seem to stay together as much. Can you comment on that?

@ChristopherSobieniak 6 лет назад

Being a show done up in Canada, I wouldn't be surprised it was some other ingredients they whipped up just for that show.

@ChristopherSobieniak 6 лет назад

Green Slime certainly became Nick's trademark thanks to YCDTOTV. Not sure how long they kept it going for though, but certainly into the last decade.

We took our kids there in the late 90’s. We really enjoyed ourselves. Loved the green slime geyser. My youngest son got to participate in one of the shows. So sad to see it gone. ☹️

Imagine being 29 and watching this. I grew up in that era off of that infamous show line up. Watching this brought back so many memories, and I do remember sometime right before it's closing walking by the Nickelodeon Studio in Florida while in Disney. It looked so dead, as if it wasnt NS, lol. I was in high school by then but the colors were still very vibrant, somewhere around 2005. But that clip of the kids all lined up outside screaming is such a time capsule of the 90s. Nickelodeon was ALWAYS good, they raised us (Doug, Rugrats, Ren n Stempy, oh my gosh the list could go on from there. So you just never think you'll see a place like that go down. They really set a platform for kids in those days. It's sad to see how many changes Disney World has made since those days as well.

I did the tour several times during my childhood. I got to have my picture taken with Olmec, back when they would let you on the actual studio floor where they filmed Legends of the Hidden Temple. I got to eat slime in front of everyone in my tour group. It tasted like tapioca pudding. I also remember at one point our guide even told us about some strange sister channel they were going to launch soon called GAS. "Do you have GAS?" Games And Sports, which didn't survive long. I remember returning as an adult and walking right over where the slime geyser was, not realizing it. When I finally realized that this massive contraption was missing and fresh asphalt in its place, I instantly freaked. "Where's the time capsule?!?" It took me a while to discover its new location at the hotel, and even had to email the hotel to confirm its whereabouts as there were only rumors, not a single picture of actual proof. In 2009, I finally visited the hotel, just to make sure it was in fact there. I took pics, and while the one in the video technically isn't it, it seemed like everyone on the internet linked to it or used it. You even linked to one of the sites, which was kind enough to credit me. So all this time, my photo was the only proof. I wonder when that picture in your video was taken though.

@YesterworldEntertainment 6 лет назад

Thanks for sharing your memories! I think a lot of time all it takes is one person to say, "hey here is where X is" and then everyone just goes nuts and claims they are the first to discover it, or fail to give credit to the person/persons who actually did.

@UmmYeahOk 6 лет назад

Yesterworld Entertainment I really hope someone would take pics of it’s new location in Burbank, it’s third home. For FL, my husband rented a car during the first two days of our Orlando trip. It was only a little out of the way, so I asked, and he agreed to take me. Security had to let us into the parking lot. Since we told him that I just wanted to see that one thing, we didn’t do anything else. So I never actually went inside the lobby. The green middle was actually animated! It made it seem like there was actual green slime bubbling in there. I want to say there was even audio, but I might’ve added a false memory, but it was definitely animated. A few months later, I would get my first iPhone. Taking video with whatever I had was not an option I guess. And sadly, I don’t think anyone else took video either. At least there’s a second picture floating around out there. As for the failing hotel, I was surprised that there even was a security guard as it really did feel like it was in the middle of no where, surrounded by undeveloped nature. Even then, I felt that the nick hotel was doomed as the network itself has started to decline in viewers, and the entire point of it, I thought, was its connection with Universal, which I think, still had a Jimmy Neutron ride, but not for long At one point, practically every show on Nick felt like was “filmed in front of a live studio audience in Nickelodeon Studios at Universal Studios in Orlando Florida.” That’s what was said at the end of the credits of many shows. They would show a semi animated shot of the front of the studio with the slime geyser going off, followed by the Universal globe spinning, which was the version they had in front of the park before they got rid of the parking lot and added City Walk.

@nattychamps9098 6 лет назад

UmmYeahOk "This show was taped or filmed in Nickelodeon Studios at Universal Studios, Orlando Florida." Basically what I remember from my childhood. :) So many memories. Sad to see Nick a shell of it's former self today. All they care about now is girl shows and talking down to kids. They don't even treat kids like adults now like they use too. Disney is the same way. In the 90's as a kid Nick was very popular and a Phenomenon actually. Every Saturday Night Snick was high ratings.

I went in 1996, I was 9 years old and got to do the wonderful extensive tour. I was chosen to play in one of then”test” games as well. I loved watching the geyser erupt and the hot sets being filmed on. I hate this is gone.. my daughter loves Nick but it’s sad she can’t go see a live studio like we kids of the 90s did.

Huh. Kind of expected a correspondence with the studio's downfall and the network itself going to shit after about 2005-2006.

Maybe there is a correlation, but more subtle: no more live studio and tours means significantly less interaction with actual viewers, and that could have led to a loss of perspective.

@JeffreyPiatt 6 лет назад

Poofiemus technically they only filmed the live action content there and did the tour attraction with the game lab in Florida the management staff was at MTV networks in New York. What killed the Orlando studio was Nick switching to more closed set and animated shows from open set tv series. The animation division was always in California and they acquired a historic Studio there where they didn't have to pay rent to universal to film in.

@justinmiddleton8818 6 лет назад

I went to Nickelodeon Studios with my family while we were on a week's vacation down in Orlando during Spring Break of 2004, as we visited both Disney World and Universal Studios. It was so awesome getting to see the Slime Geyser shoot out that famous green stuff as well as tour inside and play the interactive audience games that they had in the Game Lab, i really enjoyed being there although it wasn't nearly the same as the earlier years. Needless to say that being at the place i had only ever seen on TV at the end of the old Nick game and sitcom shows for so long was quite an awesome experience to my ten year old self. My personal favorite part aside from the Slime Geyser was being in the Gak Kitchen and seeing for myself how they made the slime recipes. It was very fortunate that we got to visit the studios when we did, because i had literally no idea at the time that it would soon be shut down for good about a year after we were there. I also have a long shot photo somewhere that my mom took of me standing with my little brother in front of the main building with that big ol' Nickelodeon sign looming behind us in the background. However, i don't know at this time where exactly it is among all of our many photos. Here's hoping that i do eventually find it one of these days.

@dr.penguinstein3426 6 лет назад

No, I never visited Nickelodeon Studios, although it was something I always wanted to do as a kid. I can still remember seeing the iconic slime fountain, hearing those iconic words "filmed live at Nickelodeon Studios, at Universal Studios Florida" and the tales my friends told me about their trips to Orlando. I always asked my parents if they'd ever take me like they did my sister, but for my mother, the answer was always "no" as she didn't fly and didn't like car trips. I eventually would make it to Florida on a cruise ship and had a single day to explore Universal. However by that time a lot had changed and some of the items on my bucket list were now impossible. Doc Brown had sold out to Krusty, Kongfrontation had been replaced and as for Nickelodeon Studios? The slime geyser had finally run dry, the colorful exterior, now a depressing blue and the only remnant was the Jimmy Neutron ride, which on the queue was where I heard other 90's kids like me remembering all things Nickelodeon including the now defunct studio.

It’s all terrible sitcoms, Spongebob and Ninja Turtles now.

@MIDNIGHTROSE051 6 лет назад

Being A 90's kid Nickelodeon shows is most of what I watched growing up. I loved Ren and Stimpy, Rugrats, and Rocco's Modern Life. I liked the game shows like Double Dare and Legends Of The Hidden Temple. The nostalgia of the early 90's shows like Salute Your Shorts, Clarissa Explains It All, and Kenan And Kel. Growing up as a teen I loved All That and Are You Afraid Of The Dark? Those were simpler times.... :)

@I_WANT_MY_SLAW 7 лет назад

Great video. But thatd not the full story. Nick Studios could've been saved. It was never on the decline at all, until Nick moved away all their shows. The main reason Nick Studios closed was bc Herb Scannell hated Florida. Nick Studios could've been saved. But Herb hated the weather in Florida, and hated always having to constantly travel there from LA. So he moved all his shows from there, and brouggt them to California. And he didn't renew the contract with Universal Orlando. There was opposition through. Marc Summers fought with the executives to keep Nick Studios open, and bring Double Dare back there. And that's when Marc Summers left Nickelodeon for good. So he probably got fired. Marc has even said that he tried to get a new reboot of Double Dare made just a few years ago, but the people at nickelodeon "hate him," and "want nothing to do with him." Marc also said that when he was producing Double Dare 2000, it was a nightmare, bc there were a bunch of execs who "had no clue what they were doing," and were meddling with the format in every way possible. Like he wanted to go back to original format of 2 kids per team, but they wanted to do a reboot of Family Double Dare. And a bunch of other stuff that made it an unpleasant experience.

I remember doing a head flip like I'd seen Danny Tamberelli perform on Figure It Out after he'd get slimed and got it all over the host lmao. I also remember during the studio tour being told about all these new shows that were being filmed (the ones that you mentioned mostly being canceled within a year). I had a great time and it was a great memory to have as a kid.

@rfccradioaudio1543 2 года назад

Yes, Double Dare was what put children's game shows as we know them on the map, but was not the first game show with only kids as contestants as you claim it is. The first American children's game shows go as far back as black and white television, and plenty of kids weeks or full kids series of established shows (Junior Pyramid, Storybook Squares, etc..) came along before Double Dare. In fact, just a few months before Double Dare hit the airwaves, the Bob Eubanks run of Card Sharks had a kids week.

@SleeperInTravel 3 года назад

I was slimed in 1994 as part of the 45 minute tour. It was warm and smelled like applesauce. I felt like the "star" of the show, which for 10-year-old me was enthralling. Then I was given this "I was slimed" certificate and I got to go backstage to take a shower. I walked around Universal Studios with wet hair for most of the day afterwards.

It is sad to see such a large part of my childhood just quietly fade away like that, but I guess every generation has to go through something like this too.

SpongeBob rules! New network execs and changing times killed off most of Nickelodeon. People watching more Cartoon Network and Disney Channel killed off most of Nickelodeon. Don't blame the talking cleaning tool for it! He helped Nickelodeon since his debut in 1999! He won so many awards (Annie Awards, Emmy Awards, Saturn Awards, Kids' Choice Awards, etc.). His cartoon became the highest rated show on Nick since 2001, and beat out previous ratings champion, Rugrats. SpongeBob is the second Nicktoon to pass the 200 episode mark.

@pbiz8162 6 лет назад

Nick shouldn't have to worry about competing against cartoon network. If they stick to regular shows. Then it wouldn't have to worry about cartoons. I guess your right though it wasn't just sponge bob that killed it shows like rugrats, Ren and stimpy Doug etc etc etc killed the network.
