The
Nickelodeon attraction really emphasizes the fact that Universal Studios Orlando is not
just a theme park, but also a working studio. This attraction is the World Headquarters of
Nickelodeon and is the place where most of the original programming is filmed. Youll
walk through a 45,000 square-ft building where you can look down upon the sets and
production facilities, get a glimpse of the make-up and costumes department and even get
to see the kitchen where Gak and Slime are created. The tour ends up in the Game lab where
parents and kids can play games based on popular Nick shows. One audience member is lucky
enough to get slimed!
Visitors to Universal can stay for a taping of
the show by getting tickets at Guest Relations when you enter the park. Check the
parks production schedule to see if anything is being taped or call (407) 363-8586.
The tour takes approximately a half hour, and is much more entertaining if something is
being filmed. Dont miss the Green Slime Geyser outside the studios, it spews slime
at any time!
