I'm so disappointed, I wanted some sculptures, statues and a bistro in that area. Why couldn't she take down the Grand National or Big Dipper and build it there instead. Lol.
I started to wonder if Nick could be that big in Europe, when I remembered the doc I saw on Spongebob with translations in about a dozen different languages.

I don't know as I haven't got kids, but I don't think Nick is that big in the UK, we get the Nickelodeon channel on satellite and cable, but not in the standard package.
The current Beever Creek kids area has a lot of charm and character and it will see the Pleasure Beach moving away from its tradition which Amanda seems intent on doing.
Nickelodeon is a successful brand, and while I don't think it will be a big draw initially, I can see kids wanting to go back more than they would now.
I didn't think Nick were a huge draw? But I don't have kids.
Beaver Creek is pretty quaint. I wonder what'll happen to the existing rides? Sure a few will be rethemed but convinced there will have to be some 'new' rides?
One article mentions a river ride - assume this is the existing log flume?
I wonder if the Space Invader structure will be included in this?
Rick.
Nothing to see here. Move along.
