Hey everyone,
I'll have you know the new coaster looks awesome and it opens March 15th along with the rest of Nick Universe!
I actually work across the street as a sales manager at
The Residence Inn - Bloomington.
Since March 15th is right around the time of spring break - we're going to be offering some awesome hotel deals in conjunction with the new Nick Universe opening!

Give us a call and ask for Emily @ 952-876-8802! I am here M-F from 8am - 5pm. You can also e-mail me at egoretsky@csmcorp.net. We have a complimentary shuttle to the mall - and I promise you, it will be an awesome spring break trip!!

Finally, an opening day that will work for me...

I'm going to try to make it out for opening day if I'm not doing anything else, but I might just wait a little while to go, maybe find a weekday that works so the park's not too crowded.

Looks like the trains are on the track now.

Ahhh. I'm flying back from California through Minneapolis on the 13th
Last time i had a long enough layover the take the train to MOA and enjoy some of the rides before having to head back. Least it will probably be open next time.

Looking great, just about a month now until opening day.

Here's a great set of pictures from Midwest Info Guide showing a lot of the theming that's been put up over the last week or so: http://www.midwestinfoguide.com/moa/

how then hell can they theme the awsome paint job on the trains after sponge bob

It's actually Spongebob's Rock Bottom Plunge. If you've seen the episode "Rock Bottom", you'd notice the bus is Orange-Red. [:)]

Both rides have been testing for the last week or so and we finally have videos of them. Spongebob looks a little slower than I had hoped but I know it will still be a great ride. That little hop after the loop should give some great ejector air.

Great videos; thanks for sharing! Both rides look like a lot of fun. I definitely like the looks of that airtime pop after the loop, as well as that last helix.

It looks like a great ride, I'm sure it will become a little faster as the rails and trains are broken in. The last helix is probably the part I like the best.

I'll be back in a few hours with pics! I can't wait to stand in the midst of this bad boy

You could hear the upstop wheels hitting the track after the loop on that little airtime bump. Sick!

Thought I'd post a couple nice pictures from Looty at TPR of the entrance to Rock Bottom Plunge. Here's the link to more pics from yesterday too:

All mine, although some angles might be repeats. Sorry, I went crazy standing by this beautiful roller coaster. It truly is much bigger when you're by it.






Sorry for the angle, had to jump over Ghostbuster's queue












Work going on with the stuff on Avatar







Standing here was just mind-blowing



Youtube kills videos [:(] Here's the best that came from once very sharp footage

Nice pics, I have to agree with you about how crazy it is looking up at that drop. The whole ride is just so much bigger than I had imagined the Eurofighters to be, and I'm pretty sure this is the shortest one so far.

Headin' out in about an hour for pre-opening night rides. I'll come back later with pics, vids, and reports on the experiences!

Write up a nice review with pictures and it will go on the front page [:P]

beautiful videos and pics!!! [:D]

I've got the day off of school next friday, I might try to go then and skip the crowds this weekend.

Yeah, no way I'm going this weekend, when I got no lines and as many rides as I want tonight

Canadmos, I'll see if I have time to upload all the pictures + get the reviews in by Sunday. Busy weekend though.

Damn, Gerst you're lucky you live by it. Ride it for meh.
Bring more videos and pictures than you can carry.
