.
opened with an attraction named Nickelodeon Studios
. It was a television taping studio for the cable television channel, Nickelodeon. In 1995, Nickelodeon Splat City
opened at three Cedar Fair theme parks: California's Great America, Kings Dominion and Kings Island
. These attractions were inspired by many of the game shows on the television network and generally involved slime. In 1999, Kings Dominion closed Nickelodeon Splat City in preparation for its 2000 attraction, Nickelodeon Central. Nickelodeon Central saw the retheme of many of the park's children's rides as well as the addition of some new ones. Kings Island followed suit, closing their Splat City in 2000 and opening Nickelodeon Universe in 2001. In 2002, Australian theme park, Dreamworld
opened Nickelodeon Central. In 2003, California's Great America, Canada's Wonderland and Carowinds all opened Nickelodeon Centrals. Expansions of these areas took place in 2005, 2006 and 2008 for Carowinds, Kings Island and Dreamworld, respectively. The Kings Island area was also renamed to Nickelodeon Universe at the same time. In 2007, Movie Park Germany opened a similar area entitled Nickland. In 2009 and 2010, Cedar Fair terminated their contract with Nickelodeon resulting in all of the areas being rethemed to Planet Snoopy. In early 2011, at a cost of million, Pleasure Beach Blackpool opened Nickelodeon Land. By mid-2011, Dreamworld
had closed their Nickelodeon Central and rethemed it to the generic Kid's World theme (it was later revealed that the park had struck a deal with DreamWorks Animation
).
