Camp Snoopy to Nickelodeon Univerese? Better or Worse?

Question

So Knott's Camp Snoopy in the Mall of America in Minneapolis/St. Paul was bought by Nickelodeon and is being turned into the Nickelodeon Universe. They've added to new roller coasters, and are basically remodelling the existing rides. The lake that was once there is now a half-pipe roller coaster. Is the environment ruined? Or is it a new "thing" that may not be so bad?

I personally liked the atmosphere of the old Camp Snoopy, this Nickelodeon Universe feels too much like Orlando, not too mention it feels cramped even more than it already did.

Answer 1

I have also grown up a Minnesotan and I believe it will be far worse. I feel as if they have now made no room to breathe in the whole park. Taking out The Mystery Mine Ride was bad enough, though the new roller coaster does look pretty legit. However they totally lost it when they took out the classic water fountain. It was just nice to see it in the middle. I don't know about anyone else, but for me it was the trademark of a place I loved.



I agree, it does feel like Orlando, which makes me upset because it should feel like Minnesota. That's a "no duh" statement. However, money is money, and if I were in charge of the park, I'm sure I would have gone Nickelodian too. Some good things may come out of this, but I have no idea what. Now, if they ever do anything to Lego Land, we're going to have a serious problem.

Answer 2

I have never actually been there, so I cant have a real say in this, but what I can say is that Snoopy is a better character in every way than ANY of the Nick Characters. Nick is interested in nothing but money from this, and something tells me they aren't going to make much with a rollercoaster themed after a child's cartoon show (Spongebob). Honestly, how many 8 year olds will ride that thing anyways? I know there are older people that watch it, but from my knowledge in my area, nobody watches Spongebob anymore. I just think its bad marketing, as they will have to change rides as the shows change.

Answer 3

I myself being a native Minnesotan, who lives very close to MOA, I grew up with camp snoopy! I always though it'd be there. Bt this nickelodeon universe is much worse, Camp snoopy had some kind of homy feeling to it, But i think it just ruins it, it won't be the same, espcially with all the nick charries walking around.



I don't know, i might be biased just because I grew up with Snoopy and the gang. i agree with you, it's more like orlando, and i always like how open camp snoopy was, i'm dead afraid to go there now. Just for the fact it's not snoopy. :/

Answer 4

I believe that Nickelodeon missed their mark with taking out the "lake". Who pays for the kids to go to the park but the parents. They take their kids to the Mall, shop and then let their kids loose in Camp Snoopy while they sit back with a cold drink and talk to relax. Now it seems that they have taken out this area with a peaceful atmosphere. I wonder how much prices will go up with this "expansion"?
