Nickelodeon Universe at Mall of America, located in Bloomington, Minnesota, is a large indoor theme park that originally opened in 1992 as Knott's Camp Snoopy. In 2008, the park would transform into Nickelodeon Universe that overhauled its theme. Today, Nickelodeon Universe features five roller coasters, a heavily themed log ride, and over two dozen other rides and attractions.

Though Six Flags Over Texas has not made an official announcement (and may not), the new 2024 El Rio Lento project appears to be quietly cancelled. Six Flags Over Texas is set to unveil El Rio Lento, one of the world’s longest log flumes. A makeover of the world’s first-ever log ride, El Aserradero, El Rio Lento will feature one new lift hill and two big drops, including a steep nosedive.

SeaWorld San Antonio is thrilled to share that the much- anticipated “Catapult Falls” will now open in Spring 2024.  The groundbreaking coaster will be the world’s first launched flume coaster with North America’s only vertical lift.  It also will have riders screaming in anticipation of a speedy downward plunge with the steepest drop of any flume ride.

The end of summer has approached, but Six Flags Over Texas isn't slowing down on park improvements. Shade structures, new dining locations, bathroom remodels and fresh paint for Batman: The Ride are just a few things happening on the heels of Fright Fest. Join us for a look at in-park improvements, plus our thoughts on the upcoming 2024 El Rio Lento log ride reimagining project.

SeaWorld is launching Passport to Thrills, an exclusive program for pass members. From now until May 14 pass members can opt-in and begin to qualify for exclusive access and bonus experiences just by visiting Texas’ Biggest and Best Theme Park, SeaWorld! The centerpiece of Passport to Thrills is Catapult Falls, a new attraction for 2023 that is a first-of-its-kind ride that is part coaster and part flume ride, with a vertical lift elevator leading to a steep drop and a water splash down.

This jam-packed visit to Six Flags Over Texas features a look at both the reopening of Log Flume One and the inside of Casa Magnetica. We also check out progress on other areas in the park, including Aquaman: Power Wave construction and new activity happening near the entrance of Runaway Mountain. We also find some new, exciting merchandise for the park's 60th anniversary and learn about the upcoming return of the Best of Texas Festival this summer.

Our first episode in the History of Six Flags Series highlights the world's first-ever log ride: El Aserradero. Built in 1963 by Arrow Dynamics, El Aserradero would go on to revolutionize the theme park landscape around the world!
