@MrLotso89 i dont think so.but since both closed,it might have some props in universal studios or might have some in the now nickelodeon studios in california
now infront of the blue man group theres a roller coaster. when i go back to universal i plan to steal props no lie theres a rumor of a warehouse behind blue man group
I went there to the studios..... im 12..... i am SOOOOO mad i never went there... my sister was a player in SPLAT... she has some props/ stuff from there.... i wanna go... o yeah i am next year
we already brought back 90s nick, why not bring back the studios!!! I know i'm not the only one who wants it open. come on people lets do this! thumbs up so people can see
@appleAddict240872 you ride Jimmy Nuetron the ride and when you exit the RIDE not the building itself but before you reach the ift shop there all there! o and i sat on the chair there...
Im from the philippines Ive always watched nick and was excited when it was first launched in asia , never experienced going to nick studios. When i was a kid i always dreamed about going there. The bluemen group just crushed my child hood -_-
The buildings are still there. They are being used for other purposes. FSN, Blue Man Group & Sun Sports are the primary organizations that use the complex for various functions. Inside, there are bits & pieces of Nickelodeon to be found (someone said that restrooms still have the orange "splat" on the floors).
this is so sad, I hate nickelodeon's writers, their shows just arent as good as they used to be. Do you know where the new game show brainsurge was filmed? I don't think its on any more tho. I think brain surge only lasted one season.
According to information found on nickcontestants,com, auditions were held for BrainSurge in January and continue this month. So it looks like a 3rd season is in the works.
ACtually, Blue Man Group had NOTHING to do with it's closing, Blue Man Group actually saved the building! If no one bought the building or had intrest I'm sure Universal would take it down to make space for new rides. Blue Man Group isn't evil it's actaully an amazing company!
One of the reasons that Nickelodeon Studios closed is because very few people stopped by to visit, take the tour and go to the store....even on the days when the rest of Universal Studios was packed.
Because of the lack of visitors, it just didn't make any sense to turn the building into a museum or anything that had to do with Nickelodeon.
On the other hand.....if there was a need for another facility like the one in Orlando.....Nickelodeon could always either build (or buy) one in Southern California. But right now....it seems to make more sense for Nick to lease studio facilities in and around the Los Angeles area....rather than build a general production studio complex and own it outright.
The chances of Nickelodeon returning to Orlando are pretty much "0". Los Angeles is the center of the Entertainment Industry. Actors know....that if they move from Los Angeles to Orlando....that there won't be any work for them.
In an interview posted on YouTube, Kirk Fogg said that Dee Bradley Baker's career was going nowhere while he was living in Orlando. Kirk convinced Dee to move to Los Angeles....and now Dee is in high demand for voice-over work.
The slime geyser belonged to Nickelodeon. Had it been left behind, it would have been considered abandoned and Universal, most likely, would have removed it, during the renovations to the complex.
Maybe the geyser could have been moved to the Nickelodeon Suites Resort (the Nick Hotel) just like the time capsule was.....but.....for whatever reason.....that didn't happen.
The closing of Nickelodeon Studios was mostly due to changes in the types of programs that the public wanted to watch.
Game shows were out while scripted programs & cartoons were in and neither format was suitable for the Orlando facility for reasons discussed both here and on other Nickelodeon Studios tribute videos.
The only soundstage the blueman group has is 18 (the slightly larger one), 19 is vacant and was used for my famlys got GUTS training the viewing tube thingys are still there with seats but are usedfor storage the dressing rooms are still there (and used by the blue man group) and the green room is too it was actually renovated for my familys go GUTS. Unfortanatly the gak kitchen was removed for a conseccesion stand. However not one part of the 2nd or 3rd floors have been touched the control room
@GJshorts s still there with the tour window still intact. Also i forgot to mention that the game lab no longer exists, but there is still things that the blue man group could have removed but they didnt so dont call them evil. Nick studios is still there and all parts that arent anymore will always be in our slime filled hearts.

Blue man group has nothing to do with it. It was a little annoying with the kids saying ."That's the face of evil." When they had nothing to do with it. Blame it on Turner or Nick for selling to Disney.
@TheDreadnaughtBand the studio didn't run out of money they left because nobody would come to the live shows and crap and it was so stupid why it went to new york and los angeles!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Viacom's a bitch. If they saw all the videos we watch they should know the old shows are more popular than the new shows! Bring them back! At least bring back Nick GaS!
this makes me want to cry. if i was the ceo of nick, i would cancel just about every show on there and put it on a teennick channel, and have the real nickelodeon shows on
IF the Jimmy neutron thingy is still there, they should expand it a bit and put just one stage and like a mini museum with some of the props from the old nick there
Your all sounding like old farts. They changed the Networks because that's what the kids of the 21st Century want to see. Get with the times old dudes.
But yes, i don'tlike any of the new shows either, but then again I'm not a kid anymore.
Actualy i watch alot of History channel, Discovery, National Geographic, and some Syfy. I don't care much for reality television or Sitcoms or cartoons.
does this part of the nick studios still exist there at universal studios? im asking cuz my friends and i r planning on going summer of 2010 and it would be great if we could actually see what's left of the awesomeness that once was nick
There are parts of the buildings (not open to the public) that haven't changed since Nickelodeon left. The current users have left things as-is. Even the public can see a few things from Nickelodeon in the general areas.
I am taking requests currently for Nick theme songs and bumpers just say it and I'll tell you if I have it and then I will post it. Tell your friends. I am also making the ultimate Nick tribute with Casualwiseguy. That's all for now. Bye!
I remember when I was like 5 or 6 I went to Universal Studios and seeing the Nickelodeon Studios. I wish I could have gone in and now they replaced it. I mean really. :(
Universal Studios need the buildings to generate money. Towards the end, the buildings just sat there and very few people stopped by to visit. No visitors = no money.
There was nothing to indicate that turning the buildings into a museum would attract more visitors.
that because Nickelodeon is copying off the Disney Channel. I was really boried on day so I decided to check out Hannah Montana to what the fuss is about anyway the whole time I was watching it I realize that ICarly is just a copy off Hannah Montana
seriously, DIsney use to be about entertain kids and so was nickelodeon but NOW its all about making money like every freakin person has to be a singer and sing on Disney, the 3 main characters from stupid hannah montana all havesongs and so does every perosn on disney ! and nickelodeon is turning into the same
I think they got rid of Nickelodeon studios, because Nick was no longer making show there, but they could have replaced it with a more exiting attraction.
Another thing, they should've done what they did when they closed the Back to the Future Ride, when they left the DeLorean up. They should've at least relocated the Slime Geyser to another area in the park, perhaps near the Jimmy Neutron Ride, or at the nick hotel, where the time capsule is. *sigh*..oh well. I bet they just took the slime geyser and put it in a landfill or something....
I got so pissed, I finally got to Orlando in June 2005, so excited about going to Nickelodeon Studios, then I get there and it is shut down, it shut down 2 months before I got there. And you uploaded this on my birthday. :)
I was one of the lucky ones, I first when to Nickelodeon Studios in 95'(I was only three at the time though) and up until it closed i'd say i went there at least 12 times, because i live only about 2 hours from Orlando
Nickelodeon's target audience lost interest in game shows, but wanted more scripted shows and animation.
Because actors wanted to stay close to Hollywood CA, Nickelodeon could not schedule any shows for the Orlando facility. Nickelodeon also purchased an animation facility in Burbank CA for cartoon production.
Nickelodeon soon realized that the time had come to close Nickelodeon Studios and focus on the types of programs that their viewers wanted.
so then why did not hold auditions in the orlando area? Actors did not want to move from Hollywood does not mean that Nickelodeon could have open auditions in the orlando area. They could have found new actors for their shows. They don't have to use the actors over again.
i was ther in 2004 i looked in and saw like ren and stimpy on the walls and bleachers and stuff and the gesyer wasnt going or anything. it was sad to see my childhood fade away into the poo man group
Blue Man Group had nothing to do with what happened to Nickelodeon Studios. The complex was empty for 18 months before BMG entered into the picture.
Nickelodeon closed the facility because viewers lost interest in the shows that were recorded there and the number of visitors to the facility dropped way down.
Also, Nickelodeon could not create new shows for the Studios because celebrities refused to move from California to Orlando.
this is a great video, i'm glad i found it because it gave me the chance to see the studio, for a final time..or at least whats left. I wish i had gotten back to orlando for vacation before it closed because this was like one of my favorite childhood memories i saw it in '99 and i had the time of my life..id still like to go see whats left but i feel like with the destruction of the studio a peice of my childhood is gone
Nickelodeon closed the facility and the buildings sat unused for about 18 months before Universal Studios announced that Blue Man Group would be moving in.
Since then, other groups have set up shop in other parts of the buildings. While the complex is no longer "Nickelodeon Studios", it is still there.
If it wasn't for BMG and the other organizations, Universal could have easily leveled the buildings and used the land for other purposes.
Well there is supposedly a warehouse of props somewhere at universal or somewhere in Orlando. And the first season of hey dude is on itunes I just bought it. I would love to go see that set in Arizona! even though it's a bit trashed
Wow they threw away the red shoe.. do you own any props bigyodatheman? This was when they were completely done with the studios? What other stories do you have from working there?
I was part of the crew that cleaned out the soundstage. Whatever props we found left over we either took to keep for ourselves, or it was thrown away.(the famous double dare giant red shoe was brought over to Twister's office, where I heard they eventually just got rid of it) It was definitely a weird experience stripping down the studio having grown up with Nick as a kid.
i don't know why there shady, there could be a lot of lies behind it all. Like I read somewhere online a guy who worked there, he said something about the time capsule- that there's not anything really even under it!!! couldn't believe my ears. I would def like to see a picture of it at the nick hotel! I tried to go to the nick hotel once but they won't let you in unless you're staying at the hotel. More shadiness!
i hate to say this, but they got rid of all the old logos and replaced them with logos from the more modern shows (zoey 101, unfabulous and the naked brothers band.) although i can't entirely say i'm surprised.)
The props that that kid filmed are in the Nickelodeon store at Universal. Nickelodeon auctioned off alot of props on Ebay years ago, BUT, there is a warehouse of props somewhere (don't know where) and I will tell you that people at universal are VERY shady about nickelodeon props and and the prop warehouse, they are very secretive about all things Nickelodeon, it is really interesting...
Why are they shady about Nickelodeon props? Do you think that they could up to something? which would explain why they are very shady about the warehouse.
yeh actually theyre shooting guts again i dont no where they gonna shoot it but its called my family got guts something like that. im totally not lying search it up
GUTS is already done. I went to a couple of the tapings. Unfortunately due to a lame wrestling federation infestation, they couldn't do it in their original soundstage so they did it in the smaller Stages 23 and 24. 23 had everything except for the Aggro Crag and they never had an audience for that so that we wouldn't give it away here or elsewhere on the Internet. I wish I could have seen even if only for a few minutes.
Interest in the types of programs taped at the studios dropped after the year 2000.
The number of people visiting the studios for tours also dropped way off even on days when the rest of Universal Studios was packed.
Celebs needed to star in programs resisted relocating from southern California to Orlando.
Faced with all this (and maybe other issues not made public), Nickelodeon probably felt that the studios had run their course and decided to close up shop and exit Orlando.
@MrLotso89 i dont think so.but since both closed,it might have some props in universal studios or might have some in the now nickelodeon studios in california

I was one of the lucky ones, I first when to Nickelodeon Studios in 95'(I was only three at the time though) and up until it closed i'd say i went there at least 12 times, because i live only about 2 hours from Orlando

This is great. What happened to Nick that it changed?
IrMetal777 3 years ago
Nickelodeon's target audience lost interest in game shows, but wanted more scripted shows and animation.
Because actors wanted to stay close to Hollywood CA, Nickelodeon could not schedule any shows for the Orlando facility. Nickelodeon also purchased an animation facility in Burbank CA for cartoon production.
Nickelodeon soon realized that the time had come to close Nickelodeon Studios and focus on the types of programs that their viewers wanted.

so then why did not hold auditions in the orlando area? Actors did not want to move from Hollywood does not mean that Nickelodeon could have open auditions in the orlando area. They could have found new actors for their shows. They don't have to use the actors over again.

In order to attract the most number of possible viewers, the various studios and the networks need to use actors that are well known by the viewers.
If a cast of unknowns was hired to star in a show, chances are that fewer people will watch.

Blue Man Group had nothing to do with what happened to Nickelodeon Studios. The complex was empty for 18 months before BMG entered into the picture.
Nickelodeon closed the facility because viewers lost interest in the shows that were recorded there and the number of visitors to the facility dropped way down.
Also, Nickelodeon could not create new shows for the Studios because celebrities refused to move from California to Orlando.

Nickelodeon had been gone for 18 months before Universal announced that Blue Man Group was going to use part of the complex.
If it wasn't for BMG and other organizations, chances are the buildings would have been demolished and the land used for other purposes.

The buildings weren't sold.
Nickelodeon closed the facility and the buildings sat unused for about 18 months before Universal Studios announced that Blue Man Group would be moving in.
Since then, other groups have set up shop in other parts of the buildings. While the complex is no longer "Nickelodeon Studios", it is still there.
If it wasn't for BMG and the other organizations, Universal could have easily leveled the buildings and used the land for other purposes.

mrroboto5785 3 years ago
they close it down in 2005
sweetheart2109 3 years ago
Nickelodeon closed the Studios for several reasons:
1) A lack of interest in the shows that were produced there.
2) A severe drop-off in the number of people who stopped by for tours even on the days when the rest of Universal was packed.
3) The inability to persuade celebrities to relocate from southern California to Orlando so new programs could be produced there.
Nickelodeon soon found itself with a top notch studio complex, but nothing to do inside of it.

Well there is supposedly a warehouse of props somewhere at universal or somewhere in Orlando. And the first season of hey dude is on itunes I just bought it. I would love to go see that set in Arizona! even though it's a bit trashed

skullbasher115 3 years ago
Wow they threw away the red shoe.. do you own any props bigyodatheman? This was when they were completely done with the studios? What other stories do you have from working there?
SunnieD27 3 years ago
The time capsule is supposedly located just outside the main entrance of the hotel.
As I understand it, the rule about not being able to enter unless you are staying is for the safety of all the children inside.
bewarethedecks 3 years ago
I was part of the crew that cleaned out the soundstage. Whatever props we found left over we either took to keep for ourselves, or it was thrown away.(the famous double dare giant red shoe was brought over to Twister's office, where I heard they eventually just got rid of it) It was definitely a weird experience stripping down the studio having grown up with Nick as a kid.
bigyodatheman 3 years ago
i don't know why there shady, there could be a lot of lies behind it all. Like I read somewhere online a guy who worked there, he said something about the time capsule- that there's not anything really even under it!!! couldn't believe my ears. I would def like to see a picture of it at the nick hotel! I tried to go to the nick hotel once but they won't let you in unless you're staying at the hotel. More shadiness!

The props that that kid filmed are in the Nickelodeon store at Universal. Nickelodeon auctioned off alot of props on Ebay years ago, BUT, there is a warehouse of props somewhere (don't know where) and I will tell you that people at universal are VERY shady about nickelodeon props and and the prop warehouse, they are very secretive about all things Nickelodeon, it is really interesting...
SunnieD27 3 years ago
Why are they shady about Nickelodeon props? Do you think that they could up to something? which would explain why they are very shady about the warehouse.

GUTS is already done. I went to a couple of the tapings. Unfortunately due to a lame wrestling federation infestation, they couldn't do it in their original soundstage so they did it in the smaller Stages 23 and 24. 23 had everything except for the Aggro Crag and they never had an audience for that so that we wouldn't give it away here or elsewhere on the Internet. I wish I could have seen even if only for a few minutes.

Why did nick studios close?
pbestfrendproduction 3 years ago
Interest in the types of programs taped at the studios dropped after the year 2000.
The number of people visiting the studios for tours also dropped way off even on days when the rest of Universal Studios was packed.
Celebs needed to star in programs resisted relocating from southern California to Orlando.
Faced with all this (and maybe other issues not made public), Nickelodeon probably felt that the studios had run their course and decided to close up shop and exit Orlando.
