Nickelodeon Land is a themed children's area at the Sea World theme park on the Gold Coast, Australia.[1] The area currently features 5 operating rides as well as some other attractions.[2]

History

In 1981, Sea World opened the Carousel. Prior to October 1999, Sea World the area where Beach Break Bay currently stands was part of the Sea World Lake.[3] The land was filled in for the construction of Cartoon Network Cartoon Beach which opened in October 1999.[3][4] This saw the introduction of several rides including Air-See Rescue, Airborne Barrel Brigade, Dexter's Time Machine, Toon Point Lighthouse and Woody's Beachtrucks.[4] In 2007, work began on the removal of the Cartoon Network theme. On 29 September 2007, Sesame Street Beach officially opened replacing Cartoon Network Cartoon Beach. This saw the introduction of a new ride, an SBF Visa Group Happy Tower named Big Bird Bounce as well as a show stage adjacent to the area. The stage was used for Bert and Ernie's Island Holiday.[5] In late 2011, Sesame Street Beach was converted into the generic Beach Break Bay theme.[1] The show stage now shows Dora's Best Friends Adventure.[2][6]

In April 2015, Sea World announced it was going to refurbish Beach Break Bay, and add four new rides. A Zamperla roller coaster is rumoured as one of the additions.[7] Eventually those plans were scrapped and replaced with plans for a Nickelodeon area. The new rides will still be added however. Nickelodeon Land opened in September 2015.
