Love it or hate it, that $50 rate that American Dream is charging to get into Nickelodeon Universe for five hours isn’t permanent. And it’s going to go up.

The current rate is a special preview admission price that was originally supposed to end November 7, but according to American Dream’s website it will last until November 15. Then, the price you will pay will get you into the park for the full day — but it’s gonna cost you.

The price for All Access — recommended for individuals over 48 inches who want to ride the most thrilling rides — will be $79.99. General access for individuals under 48 inches or who will skip the most thrilling rides will be $59.99.

That’s a $30 jump from the current rates of $49.99 for All Access and $39.99 for General Access. But the admissions now are sold for specific blocks of time, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. and 4 p.m. to 9 p.m. Although, most of the park-goers we interviewed on Friday and Saturday said they didn’t pay to get in. Over the weekend, not all of the theme park’s rides were functioning. Two of the record-setting roller coasters were out of service on opening day.

(And don’t forget you have to pay to park).

By comparison, you can buy a season pass to Six Flags Great Adventure for next season online for $72, according to the Jackson-based theme park’s website. And that includes a parking pass, which normally cost $25 a day.

And at Triple Five’s other mega mall, the Mall of America, tickets for Nickelodeon Universe there cost $36.99 for an all-day pass.

The hours for the park after the special preview period will be Monday through Thursday 9 a.m. – 10 p.m. and Friday through Sunday 9 a.m. – midnight, according to American Dream’s website.

A spokesperson for American Dream did not respond immediately to a request for comment.

Admission for Nickelodeon Universe at American Dream is now available to purchase online through December 30. As of last week, tickets were only for sale through November 7.

Nickelodeon Universe, the largest indoor theme park in the country, is one of two things open at American Dream. The other is an NHL regulation-sized ice rink.

No stores or restaurants will be open at American Dream until March 2020. The DreamWorks Waterpark will open November 27 and Big SNOW ski and snowboard park will open Dec. 5.

Nickelodeon Universe has 22 rides. It was designed to be one-third for little kids, one-third for families and one-third for teens and adults.
