* Nickelodeon Universe was also an area inside of Paramount's [[Kings Island]] featuring Nickelodeon-themed rides and attractions. It was one of the largest sections in the park and was voted "Best Kid's Area" by ''Amusement Today'' magazine from 2001 until its closure in 2009 after the park's sale to [[Cedar Fair]] (the Paramount Parks ended up with [[CBS Corporation]] in the 2006 CBS/Viacom split, which CBS immediately sold off as soon as possible as non-critical surplus assets for that company).
* '''[[Nickelodeon Studios]]''' was an attraction at the [[Universal Orlando]] Resort that opened on June 7, 1990, and housed production for many Nickelodeon programs (including ''Clarissa Explains It All'', ''[[What Would You Do? (game show)|What Would You Do?]]'' and ''All That''). It closed on April 30, 2005, after Nickelodeon's production facilities were moved to New York City and Burbank, California. The building that formerly housed it was recently occupied by the [[Blue Man Group Sharp Aquos Theatre]], closed in February 2021. Another Nickelodeon-themed attraction at the park, [[Jimmy Neutron's Nicktoon Blast]], opened in 2003 but closed in 2011 to make way for the new ride ''[[Despicable Me: Minion Mayhem]]''. In 2012, a store based on SpongeBob SquarePants opened in ''Woody Woodpecker's Kidzone'', replacing Universal's Cartoon Store.
* '''[[Nickelodeon Central]]''' was an area inside of the [[Paramount Parks]] properties, including [[California's Great America]], [[Carowinds]], [[Kings Dominion]], [[Canada's Wonderland]], and [[Dreamworld (Australian theme park)|Dreamworld]] that featured shows, attractions and themes featuring Nickelodeon characters, all of which were wound down when [[CBS Corporation]] was given ownership of the theme parks in the Viacom/CBS split and eventually sold most of the properties to [[Cedar Fair]] without renewal of the Nickelodeon licensing agreements. The only Nickelodeon Central remaining in existence was at Dreamworld in Australia, which is not under Cedar Fair ownership. The license was revoked in 2011 and became "Kid's World" and later DreamWorks Experience.
* '''[[Nickelodeon Blast Zone]]''' was an area in [[Universal Studios Hollywood]] that featured several attractions inspired by Nickelodeon shows. The four attractions that were present in the area were "Nickelodeon Splash", a waterpark-style area, "[[The Wild Thornberrys]] Adventure Temple", a jungle-themed foam ball play area, and "Nick Jr. Backyard", a medium-sized toddler playground. It ran from 2001 to 2007 and was rethemed as "The Adventures of [[Curious George]]" which closed in 2008 to make way for [[The Wizarding World of Harry Potter (Universal Studios Hollywood)]]. Adjacent to '''[[Nickelodeon Blast Zone]]''' was the "Panasonic Theatre" which housed [[Totally Nickelodeon]], an audience-participated game show which ran from 1997 to 2000. "Rugrats Magic Adventure" replaced the game show in 2001, but closed in 2002 to make way for [[Shrek 4-D]] which ran from May 2003 to August 2017. It closed to make way for [[DreamWorks Theatre]] Featuring Kung Fu Panda which opened on June 15, 2018.
* '''[[Nickelodeon Splat City]]''' was an area inside California's Great America (from 1995 to 2002), [[Kings Island]] (from 1995 to 2000) and Kings Dominion (from 1995 to 1999), that featured messy- and water-themed attractions. The slime refinery theme was carried out in the attractions such as the "Green Slime Zone Refinery", the "Crystal Slime Mining Maze", and the "Green Slime Transfer Truck". All of these areas were later transformed into either Nickelodeon Central or [[Kings Island|Nickelodeon Universe]] before being discontinued as mentioned above when sold off by CBS Corporation.
