Closed/Retired Rides

 * Night At The Museum History Whiplash!: A 10-minute 4D experience ride that was based on the "Night at the Museum" movie trilogy. It was closed to make way for the "Back To The Future" ride.
 * Rock Bottom Plunge: A more aesthetically themed and recreation of the Rock Bottom Plunge ride in Nickelodeon Universe  located at the Mall of America. It was closed mainly because of issues with the Mall's ownership of the ride. It will be replaced with a newer SpongeBob themed ride.
 * Rocky’s Flying School (Original): originally built as a swing ride in Woody Woodpeckers Kidzone. Closed due to a roller coaster of the same name being built in Toon Lagoon.
 * Asteroid Simulator: A spinning ride where riders were able to experience an "Asteroid-ride". It was removed as it was deemed to be not Sci-Fi enough and also to make way for Buggy Highway.

Trivia

 * This is the first time since the SpongeBob SquarePants franchise has made an attraction/ride appearance in any Universal Studios theme park since "Jimmy Neutron's Nicktoon Blast" from 2003 to 2011. It was mostly done due to the high-demand for a SpongeBob attraction for Universal parks.
 * It also is the first time any Nickelodeon franchise has gotten an attraction/ride appearance since the aforementioned ride.
 * In the Back To The Future: The Ride, there is an extremely rare to never chance where once The DeLorean crashes straight into the Hill Valley 2015 Clock Tower, the entire Ice Age sequence is replaced with a intense battle in Zombopolis with the Plants and the Zombies. This has been added since the addition of the PVZ Coaster ride.

Comments
I plan to give Toon Lagoon an overhaul, and retheme it to add more Dreamworks Classics properties

-- Guys look, What the dog doin? *gasps* it’s pretty, HOG RIDAAAA. *Goofy ahh noises* AMOGUS. (talk) 14:44, 27 June 2022 (UTC)

Can I add The Simpsons Ride to this version?

-- YonatanAshad (talk) 13:39, 15 July 2022 (UTC)

No offense, but I’m not gonna add a Simpsons land as The Simpsons are owned by Disney now

-- Guys look, What the dog doin? *gasps* it’s pretty, HOG RIDAAAA. *Goofy ahh noises* AMOGUS. (talk) 18:18, 15 July 2022 (UTC)

But just because The Simpsons is now owned by Disney doesn't mean it can't be here.
