Nickelodeon Universe 2012

So it looks as if MN may not be deprived of a major new ride for 2012 after all. Posted to ScreamScape this Morning:

"2012 - New Attraction - Planning - (8/12/11) In an interview with Nickelodeon Universe posted to Park Thoughts, the park confirms that there is a big new ride in the works for 2012 as well as a few other projects."

Unfortunately you have to listen to an Audio Clip to hear it, but according to the the Director of Marketing there will be something new. Obviously it isn''t going to be an Invert, but when the host asks if they can expect anything big in the future, she mentions "We're hopeful that we'll be able to add a significant new ride for next year." She also makes it sound like another up-charge ride may be going in with in the next few years.

"Not first of it's kind" :(

PS. She mentions the age limitations at night, which I know a few will get a kick out of lol

I think they may use the ballroom for one of their main group sales pavilions.

Ah, that makes sense

"Radisson Blu Hotel" no one's caught it yet but it's on Mall of America's main site on the map layout as coming soon. Confirmed.

^ Thats the Hotel? I've heard from a few people that it was a Hospital. But now that I look at some links, it seems that it is the Hotel. I also found this on Wiki: "MOA has signed contracts to bring in Great Wolf Resorts as the waterpark operator".

It's true! NU posted this to their FB today:

The Flying Dutchman Ghostly Gangplank Ropes Adventure Course will be closed January 18-February 29 for construction of an exciting new attraction. We apologize for the inconvenience.

I'm really interested to see how this will work. I'm not sure it will interact with Ghostly Gangplank because having a slide at the top wouldn't work with the harnesses.

I still think that its going to be a zip line. That's the only thing that makes sense with the area. Plus now that they're closing the ropes course because of it...

This confirms it will be a slide. They call it a "drop slide" but the only thing I can find is something like this.
