KINGS ISLAND, Ohio– Paramount’s Kings Island, long ranked as offering the “Best Kid’s Area in the World,” Amusement Today Golden Ticket award winner 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004 and 2005, is excited to premiere the most elaborate collection of Nickelodeon-inspired rides and attractions in the world opening in the Spring of 2006. Nick Universe includes a total of 18 rides and attractions bringing to life Nickelodeon’s most popular character celebrities and adventures including Avatar™, The Backyardigans™, Blue’s Clues™, Danny Phantom™, Dora the Explorer™, The Fairly OddParents™, Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius™, LazyTown™, Little Bill™, The Rugrats™, SpongeBob SquarePants™, and The Wild Thornberrys™.

The largest Nickelodeon area in the world boasts six all-new attractions including:

Thrill-seeking families take a whirlwind ride with Avatar on this first-of-its kind family roller coaster.

Kids can enjoy a free-fall ride in the hopes to escape the menacing wrath of Plankton, SpongeBob SquarePants’ nemesis.

Families fly with Danny Phantom as they spin through the air like a superhero.

All aboard Azul™ the train! – Passengers join Dora the Explorer and Boots™ on a storybook train ride adventure.

Kids join Blue for a jumping journey around her house.

Guests enter the adventures of Bikini Bottom through a pineapple under the sea to experience SpongeBob SquarePants’ underwater world.


Nick Universe also features two new neighborhoods containing a variety of Dora the Explorer and SpongeBob SquarePants - inspired rides and attractions. In addition, this area has new dining, shopping and celebrity encounters with kids’ favorite Nickelodeon stars.


“Thanks to our incredible partnership with Nickelodeon, we are creating the next level of family entertainment. We are excited to offer a collection of new attractions that parents and kids can enjoy together, in conjunction with new family-friendly amenities such as spacious shaded walkways and additional shaded seating,” said Craig Ross executive vice president and general manager for Paramount’s Kings Island. “The Nickelodeon Universe area and attraction detail, along with other new 2006 attraction information, will be announced after the conclusion of our long anticipated WinterFest holiday event.”

Sounds great! At first I thought that the SpongeBob thing was a walkthrough and I was kinda dissapointed, but everywhere people are saying that it's actually Boating School. Can't wait for the official details. :D

I cant beleive we have to wait until after WinterFest for the official annoucement. That is so long to wait, but I can handle it because we will have FearFest and WinterFest to tide us over untill then. :)

:D So we really are getting the Aviator! It may not be the Flying Eagles - but it's kind of LIKE the Flying Eagles! :D

And TWO ROLLER COASTERS!!!! w0000

Sounds like a Wild Mouse for the Spongebob thing, and one of those Volare rides for the Avatar - kind of like Tomb Raider The Ride at PCW. Those little prone flying coasters....

They way they describe some of the rides, it sounds like they are going to take some of the current rides and retheme them to "Nick Universe". For example, that Train w/ Dora sounds like the Choo ride that is there already. The free-fall ride or the Danny Phantom ride could be the Atom Aunt's ride.

Danny Phantom will most likely be the Aviator. It is kind of like the Flying Eagles but a little different cause it has two rudders, and OTSR I think.

The drop ride could be like the Scream Machine at Coney. It would have to be bigger than a frog hopper to really be that exciting. Plus adults cant ride Frog Hoppers.

If the Avatar is indeed a Volare Flying Coaster - I think it would be awesome!
