Nickelodeon Splat City

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Nickelodeon Splat City was a land inside of Great America (1995-2002), Kings Island (1995-2000), and Kings Dominion (1995-1999). It was based on many Nickelodeon Game shows, such as Double Dare, which had attractions that involved getting wet.

  • Green Slime Transfer Truck : a truck that featured water hoses, video screens, and various levers and buttons triggering water bursts. The truck was also added at the Nickelodeon Studios, but did not have any water features.
