UPDATE: American Dream started selling tickets to Nickelodeon Universe on Sunday and the first few days are already sold out. Here’s how to buy tickets.
If you’re going to American Dream for the roller coasters, the news you’ve been waiting for is finally here.
Admission prices for Nickelodeon Universe have been released with just about a week left before the amusement park is scheduled to open. But American Dream, the 3 million square foot shopping and entertainment complex in the Meadowlands, still isn’t selling passes, nor is it saying when they will go on sale.
An All Access Ticket for those more than 48 inches tall who are seeking the most thrilling experience is $49.99. And a General Access Ticket, which recommended for those under 48 inches and who choose not to ride the most thrilling rides, is $39.99.
Admissions are for specific blocks of time -- 10a.m. to 3 p.m. and 4 p.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Friday, and between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m., 3 p.m. and 7 p.m., and 8 p.m. and 12 a.m. on Saturday and Sunday.
Children 2 years old and younger are free.
The only other Nickelodeon Universe is at Mall of America, also owned by Triple Five. The prices there are $49.99 for a two-day, unlimited ride pass and $36.99 for one day of unlimited rides.
American Dream is set to debut October 25 with the opening of a few attractions -- its Nickelodeon Universe, an NHL regulation-sized ice rink and IT’SUGAR, a 3-story candy department store.
The Nickelodeon Universe at American Dream, an 8.5 acre indoor amusement park, will have more than 35 rides, roller coasters and attractions for all ages themed with Nickelodeon characters such as SpongeBob Square Pants and Dora the Explorer.
It will also have three record-setting roller coasters: the Shellraiser will hold the record for steepest plunge with a 122-foot drop; the Shredder will be the tallest and longest free-spinning roller coaster; and the Skyline Scream will have record for the the tallest indoor spinning drop tower.
American Dream will open in chapters beginning next Friday. Then November 27, the DreamWorks Water Park will open. Big SNOW American Dream, an indoor ski slope, will open on December 5. The rest of the complex -- 450 shops, restaurants and amenities, with more than 100 places to eat -- will be up and running by March 2020, the developer has said.
