Nickelodeon American Dream 3/18

Now both fully vaccinated we are starting to venture out.
Thursday we went to NJ to the American Dream Mall and
Nickelodeon. Of course, it is still masks and distancing but it
was nice to get out. The park has five coasters shoehorned into
the rather small space. We rode all five in about 90 minutes.
The park was not busy at 1 PM opening but was getting more busy
as we left just after 2:30. It is a nice space and the younger
kids were certainly enjoying themselves. The coasters are
nothing special although Timmy's Half Pipe Havoc is certainly
unique. It is a skateboard on a track, kind of like a Disco,
with two sets of rotating seats one on each end. I am sure
there was some debate if it is a coaster or not but it does
coast on the track so I guess it is.
The rest were pretty standard. The Shredder was a Gerstlauer
spinner and was fun. The TMNT Shellraiser was a Eurofighter and
damn painful! Talk about one and done. It was worth the trip
and great to get on some new coasters after such an empty 2020.

I think the concept for the Shredder and Shellraiser was good
but might have been more of a success if it had been outdoors
where they have more room to interlock the coasters.
Thanks for sharing your trip. I do hope I can swing by this
place on a future trip.
How much did you have to pay for your visit?

We went on a weekday, which is off peak rate. I got a senior
discount for being older than dirt. So with all that it was $110
for the two of us. More pricey than I would want for a smaller
park but since we haven't been anywhere forever I pulled the
trigger.

So does the price make this a bit of a one-and-done sort of
place? I have that feeling with mountain coasters 12-16 for one
ride after one ride it's hard to justify a return.

Yep - we won't return unless they add new coasters which is not
likely in the near term. Like I said in the report, nothing
special there. It was fun and probably more so since we have
not been to a new place in over a year, but not a regular visit
place.
I expect it will be the same for Legoland NY if they get open
this summer. We wiil pay more than we would like for a new
place.

Did you get to ride Sandy’s? That looks fairly unique.
