Bonus Roller Coaster Action: Mall of America

On Sunday, July 4 we arrived to Shakopee, MN around 4pm, so we decided to do a bit of exploring since we had the extra time. The Mall of America is located in Bloomington, MN, which is right next to Minneapolis which is right next to Shakopee, which is where Valleyfair can be found. As much as I don’t enjoy visiting any mall, we knew that the Mall of America had a roller coaster inside and figured we could get a bonus roller coaster ride in on our tour. Walking into Nickelodeon Universe turned out to be quite a surprise: not only did they have one roller coaster, they had five roller coasters, a log flume, and a dozen other rides and attractions! It was basically a mini-amusement park in the middle of an indoor mall. We took full advantage of the bonus roller coaster action and added three new rides to our list! For those that don’t think these coasters should count…they were more legit than some of the kiddie rides that we’re not allowed to ride, so they most certainly count!
