This family-friendly swing is a great ride to relax on. This is your typical swing ride that goes around and around while you fly through the air. The little kids will love this ride, but it is still thrilling for the adults. While you go around, the swing partially lifts on one side. This allows you to go up and down while riding the swing. While on this ride, let go of your worries and enjoy the ride you are on. Backyardigans Swing-Along will have you worry-free in no time.

9. Splat-O-Sphere

Do you ever want to know what it is like to go splat? No? That is probably for the best. Splat-O-Sphere is a drop tower like all the others. However, this one is themed like falling into a slime pit. The tower is amongst the tallest rides in the park and has the third largest drop. Splat-O-Sphere is the ride for you if you like the feeling of your stomach leaving you.

Brain Surge | Flat Ride at Nickelodeon Universe | Parkz - Theme Parks

8. Brain Surge

This ride is thrilling for those who do not like drops but not for those who do not like spinning rides. On Brain Surge, you go around in a circle. You are also able to control your positioning. If you want to lean forward, you can; if you want to lean backward, you can; if you want to go upside down, you can. You can hold yourself upside down the entire ride if you are ambitious enough. By the end of the ride, Brain Surge will have your brain surging.

7. Air Bender

Surfing along an arched track is how Air Bender works. You go back and forth, rocking, and it has over 90° drops. The two circles hold six seats each, and they rotate while riding. Air Bender is a large ride in the center of the Nickelodeon Universe, and it is not for the faint of heart. Many people love this ride, but it is prone to motion sickness. Airbender’s seats spin continuously, resulting in people experiencing facing in all different directions while rocking back and forth. Air Bender will send you flying through the air on a journey of a lifetime. 

 

6. Shredder’s Mutant Masher

Imagine a claw machine swinging back and forth; this is Shredder’s Mutant Masher. It consists of five carts with four seats on each of them. This ride will rock you back and forth while rotating the seats in a circle. The claw reaches a peak of fifty-four feet in the air, sending riders on a thrilling experience. As one of the larger rides in the park, it is hard to miss it. Shredder’s Mutant Masher will turn you into a nice guacamole dip while you soar through the air on the ride.

5. Spongebob Squarepants Rock Bottom Plunge

If you are an adventure seeker, this ride is calling your name. The vertical lift, 97° drop, loop the loop, and a corkscrew are all part of this thrilling ride. This coaster is not for the faint of heart because it travels at speeds of 43.5 mph and multiple inversions. However, if you are into these kinds of rides, you should try this one because it is very stimulating. 

4. Log Shute

Imagine riding a log down a waterfall. If you can imagine that, you most likely think of a log ride at some amusement park. This is your ordinary log shute or log ride, and it is still fun. It is Paul Bunion or Lumberjack-themed, and it takes you on a journey that a fresh-cut log would experience. Whether you are old or young, the log ride is fun for all with its calm but exciting voyage.

3. TMNT Shell Shock

While soaring through the sky or shredding the scene, this ride is a thrilling experience. Shell Shock is based on Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. You are in a turtle-shaped pod that can flip and turn. If you do not like going upside down, you can relax as it soars up and down in a circle. However, if you love going upside down, rock your body and move the handles while going through the air. When you are at the park, instructions on a TV tell you how to do this, however, this is no easy task to do. Whether you want to fly calmly or shred the sky, this is your ride.

2. Pepsi Orange Streak

One of the best coasters there, the Pepsi Orange Streak roller coaster, has everyone’s heart. It is fast, but not too fast, letting everyone enjoy it. The coaster has no scary drops, just more casual slopes to gain speed. This coaster travels around the entire amusement park. There is even one point where you go through the log shute. Overall, Pepsi Orange Streak is a great ride for the family.

1. Fairly Odd coaster

If you are looking for a great coaster, this is the one. With a windy track and a self-rotating cart, nothing could go wrong. Up to four people can sit in a cart at a time, so you and your friends can all go together. However, this coaster is not for people who get sick quickly. There is a lot of spinning and turning, so one could easily throw up. The Fairly Odd Coaster is undoubtedly the best ride at the park.
