If it wasn't already, Mall of America is about to become center of the universe. Nickelodeon Universe. Changes at the park will go much deeper than the name. Mall of America is investing about $30 million in park improvements including four new rides, healthy food options and a high-tech ticketing system.

I always had my suspicions about the fountain. Seemed like the only logical place to install a free-fall (bouncing spring?) ride. I only hope it isn't from S&S. Not that I don't like them--I do, especially when they're cranked up. But given the noise can generate over time (VF's farting Turbo Drop, anyone?) it might suffer a fair amount of downtime.
The $30 million upgrade cost is more than a traditional outdoor park would pay. Remember, the heavy demolition / contruction won't start until after 10 pm.

Some of the older press releases made it sound as if the Eurofighter was themed to Avatar--but I guess the (apparent) Disk-o will be themed to it instead, much like PKI. Perhaps a bit more subtly? One can only hope.
