@@mikaeruu0309 There could be a lot of demand in California or Florida, I think. Sanrio stores already grab a lot of interest.

2018: Kevin sarcastically wonders why the Nick Hotel's honeymoon suites didn't last long 2022: Kevin discovers that multiple children were conceived on a Garfield dark ride
I went here once and probably my favorite memory was walking up to the spongebob costume guy and saying this “Remember when you went to Shell City and died?” A worker came up and said “Yea I don’t think spongebob remembers that”
Yeah the general formula is the Orlando parks are for the kids, the hotels and it's resorts are for adults and let us relax and unwind after spending all day at the parks surrounded by screaming kids.
My parents took my daughter along with my younger siblings and my parents really enjoyed it that was 4 years ago and my mom still talks about it lol I’m so glad my daughter got to enjoy that right before they closed.
I love how he was reading the names of the characters that were at the hotel, the same way how a substitute teacher would read the names of the foreign exchange students.
I have a horrific memory of throwing up in our room’s bathroom at this hotel, there was a crazy mural on the walls. Every time I close my eyes the dad from the wild thornberry’s is still grinning at me
i remember being a kid and desperately wanting to go to the nick hotel. i was so upset when my grandma took me to disney instead, in hindsight that was the best thing she ever did for me
My parents gave us the choice between the Nick Hotel and Disney when I was 8 or 9. I picked the Nick Hotel, and my brother agreed, because we were Nicktoons kids, and honestly? I don't regret it that much. Sure, going to Disney earlier could've been fun, but I ended up going to Disneyland for my senior trip later on, so it's not like I missed too much. However, if I had chosen Disney instead, that would've been it. I could've never experienced the Nick Hotel, since it ended up closing, and it honestly probably wouldn't have been as fun for an older kid anyway. I loved the Nick Hotel as a kid!
The fact that they had an adults only love room implies that they fully expected adults (with no children) to show up to a kids' themed resort just to boink each other. I don't know what's more terrifying, that or the fact that at least one of those rooms has definitely fulfilled their intended use at least once
Probably a good thing they didn't have any of the characters in there. I mean, could you imagine banging your loved one well Dora is on the wall staring at you the whole time?
Fun fact: The time capsule contains not only a video of the ceremony that created it, but the camera that filmed it...not because the camera was viewed as a potentially interesting relic of the time, but because the hosts gave up on getting the tape out of it.
I mean lets be honest. Alit of he concepts and characters from kids shows especially the ones aimed at very young children were just straight up weird especially seeing the mascot costumes of said characters irl like ming ming or the bubble guppies.
I remember going here as a young kid with my family. Probably the most memorable experience was when I showed my small SpongeBob plush to the guy in the SpongeBob costume, and he threw it on the ground and stomped on it thinking it was “plankton in a SpongeBob suit”. My dad found it hilarious but I was mortified 😂
I find it absolutely hilarious that this place has a honeymoon suite. Can you imagine asking someone "where did you go for your honeymoon, Paris, the Caribbean, Vegas?" And they reply with "the honeymoon suite at the nickelodeon hotel, we had breakfast with Dora and SpongeBob too"
The decor of this hotel is like all of the worst decor trends of the early 2000's had an unholy orgy. The strangely proportioned lobby, the faded-crayon wall colours, tacky murals, plastic school chairs, and THOSE BEDSPREADS.
I stayed at this hotel in 2018 as the result of a booking mixup. It was so bizarre, I had a 3 bedroom suite to myself, and you could still absolutely tell that it used to be the nick hotel even though all the branding was gone. It was like stepping into a grim alternate version of 2004.
The Cosmo and Wanda suits look like those creepy, bobble-head looking character costumes that you'd find in a Disneyland parade photo from the 1950s/60s.
I am utterly floored by the Ming Ming character costume- it so freakin CUTE. Not two feet away is dead eyes Dora, and yet somehow Nick created the single best character costume I've ever seen! I would totally go up and hug her as an adult, hell I bet teenagers would too!
right??! i still have my ming ming stuffed animal because she’s just such an adorable and endearing character from my childhood. her costume was probably the only part of this video that made me regret not going to the hotel. nick really knocked it out of the park for her
@@s.o.m3241 Honestly, it woke up childhood memories of watching WonderPets in the background. Never learned the characters' names. I also remember the Backyardigans and Team Umi-zoomi, but I do *not* remember the designs. (The yellow hippo was the Backyardigan I remembered, while all I remember from Umi-zoomi is that cheerful little cry, I swear I hear it every time I hear something that vaguely fits the rhythm of the word.)
i'll never forget my intense 12 year old disappointment when the bucket of "slime" at the pool i waited all day to be dumped on me was food-colored water.
@@DCol real slime "you can't do that on TV" had a base of apple sauce and oatmeal. The powder has replaced it on TV shows and was at the stage. So really depends on your opinion. They two times they made the apple sauce mix a person from nickelodeon flew into Orlando to make it, only 12 people in the company knew the recipe. I worked in purchasing/the storeroom at the hotel and ordered what they needed, so I know what was in it but not the ratios. Had to sign a NDA.
I wanna vomit everytime I hear someone say that Paris is the most romantic place in the world. Try again sweetie, the Nick hotel honeymoon suite is far better in every conceivable way.
For characters like Danny phantom and Aang why didn’t they have normal people in costume like most Disney characters?? That way they could actually talk and interact with fans and would actually look cool instead of terrifying
Sounds like a cool idea, but they'd have to hire a twelve-year-old to play Aang all year round, which would be tough from a legal standpoint. That, or an Ember Island Players type situation with a short bald lady. "Avatar state, yip yip!" You get the idea.
I like the joke of Kevin slowly not recognizing the characters during the costume presentation, but immediately recognizing an obscure character at the end
Kinda shows his age, I was a child in the mid-00s so I distinctly remember MingMing and The Backyardigans. I grew out of nickelodeon by the time Umizoomi, Bubble Guppies, and Paw Patrol came around.
Could be worse. At least The Clock Man (Eastern European Cartoon Short aired on Nickelodeon in 1979) wasn't much of a thing outside word of mouth and some Gen X-er looking for it. The Clock Man on those bedroom walls would have prompted many a visit to therapy for anyone who who stayed there
I suppose that explains the difference in quality of pre-Spongebob Nick and post-Spongebob Nick television programs. After that soulless trash became more popular than god, it's like the studio threw in the towel.
@@ShroudedWolf51 yeah, I've switched to c (which in all honesty isn't to far away from Nick on the shittiness scale) for my dose of daily family animation.
i actually went there when i was young and i gotta say, not so fun after a day. i was very excited as this was my birthday present, but to be honest everything there stunk but the water park, which as a kid was very fun. i promise if you didn't get to this resort, your not missing out on much.
Megan Weller I stayed at it when I was 4 trust me you didnt miss much a lot of the big activities like game shows and the real sliming were lottery basically like when I went out of a crowd of prob 300-500 my brother got picked which made me mad
It's a little fuzzy, but I stayed there when I was 5. I remember the red bunk beds, and finally staying on the top bunk. But you're not missing out on much. I really just remember being chased by a squirrel, being slimed (which was awesome by the way), and the food court. 3/4 of those experiences were nice. But most of the time we were at Disney World. All we did at the hotel was dipping in the pool, eating, and sleeping. (which is all four/five year old me needed) But it's quite sad that it's gone. I wasn't even aware of it being closed down until now.
I got married next to the pizza hut express at this hotel and spent a passion filled night in the adult suite before it was discontinued. The experience was highly underrated. We enjoyed all 25 inches of that television.
i heard it’s coming back to orlando!!! but i really hope they keep the original 2000s design, and not with whatever crappy shi the new nickelodeon theme is. old/kinda old nick hits different (i’m only 14) most new nick commercials and tv shows are so dumbed down to cuteness and stuff, and not THIS PEAK DESIGN AND ENTERTAINMENT!!!!!! i was diagnosed with autism when i was about four, and spongebob is my #1 “special interest”. and yea, that means i want the creepy ass costumes back too. either way, the only point of this comment is that: if they don’t have the original interior and exterior design of the resort the same if it does open again, ITS A WASTE OF MONEY (half joking)
"Would have been neat to have stayed here once" I say seconds before images of the rebrand pop up, in which I realized this is exactly where I stayed on my last Orlando trip.
Honestly, I think the whole Nickelodeon theme stuff would work better on a cruise ship than as an actual hotel. Think about everything Nickelodeon Hotel had, then think about it being on a cruise ship. It would work so much better.
Well, yes but no (not trying to make the meme). One of the biggest problems with the Nick Hotel was how immature it was, and nothing for parents. The problems would most likely permeate on water.
@@kieravermeal9127 And also...all it takes is one weird freak incident of a kid falling off the edge and disappearing forever. Although it doesn't seem to be a problem with Disney Cruises.
Main problem is cruise ships are too damn expensive to build or refurbish. They weren’t even willing to put in the money to renovate their decaying hotel, imagine them having to manage and operate a cruise ship. It’d be a disaster.
god, this is my favorite defunctland vid. while there are plenty of other equally high quality, high effort productions from this channel, no other subject is as intrinsically deranged as a nicktoon hotel with a damn honeymoon suite.
first thing they missed out on a burger restaurant theme based on the krusty krab, second thing was that a blood stain I saw in one of the hotel photo's at the end.
Leanne Deetz Good point. Since I was five my parents would take me to Hershey Park every summer. For a majority of the times we stayed at the The Holliday Inn Express. A few of the times we ended up in the same room. Recently when we were there, we came home from dinner to find ants all over the tv stand, a solo cup that had a drop of my grape juice in it, my moms licorice that she left open and the beds. We asked room service to get rid of the ants the next day via calling the front desk. My dad was still in our room showering and my mom and I headed down to the kitchen for breakfast and mom asked the lady at the front desk if they will send someone to get rid of the ants while we were at the park, and the lady said that there is someone up there now yet we were just up there and my dad was in the shower. We came home from the park at around 10pm and there were still ants all over the room. And the most annoying part, were on the third floor and that is a room we ended up in at least twice. In conclusion, DON'T TRUST HOLLIDAY INN.
If 'The Shining' is ever remade, I want it to take place at a Nickelodeon Hotel, and all the ghosts are replaced by mascot characters, one of whom must be Jimmy Neutron.
I mean one of the physically biggest characters on that slide was Aang, from a show that ran 2005-2008, I mean it's one hell of a show, but the show didn't have much longevity for new kids who hadn't grown up on atla.
Compared to the construction and operation costs of the resort, replacing the characters every few years is worth pennies on the dollar if it would keep guests coming in
They also had an immortal sponge and the Fairly Odd Parents outlasted the theme by about a year, but those are the only exceptions that I can think of.
The fact that they didn't do much with the original Holiday Inn look besides paint it orange really gives "college needs more dorms so they repurpose a Motel 8" vibes
Nick in the 90’s: We don’t want to put too much marketing so we can appear as something for kids, by kids. Nick now: We redesigned our logo so it can look good on a business card
Nick now: am not corporation. Am real boy. Am down with the youths. Would you like to buy a spongebob fidget spinner. Dab. Yes, yes, children, I am one of you.
@@dtxspeaks268 i really don't crap man i just like how it looked and the vibe was fun which is a hell of a lot more than i can say of the new hotels even if the new hotels are, frankly, objectively better, the old one was more nickelodeon. (also, did you seriously reply to two of my comments just to specifically hate on me? thats kind of sad)
i stayed there in 2016 while they were making renovations. it felt like we were the only guests there. it seemed like i was in a weird alternate reality where everyone had disappeared and i was just wandering around this abandoned, nostalgic hotel
It’s wild. I was part of the Disney College Program in 2016. The company sponsored apartments were right down the road from the Nick Hotel. Our busses to get to and from work (Disney properly traveled right by the hotel’s property. I remember always being intrigued and wanting to visit on a day off of work. It’s surreal to think I was admiring this property from afar quite literally in its final couple of months.
Sometimes I like to think about how in one hundred years some one is going to find that man made pond in the back of Nick hotel with the Dora statue and it'll be all old and shabby and covered in Vines and people will think it's some sort of horrific grave site or shrine
I can just hear a bit of disappointment when he said Fanboy and Chum Chum. I mean...he's not wrong to be disappointed? -M I N G M I N G D U C K L I N G-
Raymond Gallant Lol, me too, I felt a ting of jealousy if he really didn’t know who they all are. I tried to ban Sponge Bob early on in my house, but I eventually caved. Paw Patrol is the only one I could stand, but Puppy Dog Pals on Disney Jr. has taken that spot. I admit I even watch it sometimes after my sons fallen asleep and it’s still playing 😋
Feels like there's a missed opportunity for the employees. Imagine if the employees got to act like Squidward & verbally say how much they despised the guests & they could get away with it by saying they were staying in character?
For some reason, the fact that this place at one time had a honeymoon suite is the funniest part. "Where did you guys go for your honeymoon?" "We went to the Nickelodeon Hotel!" "Huh?" "Yeah. When we consummated the marriage... WE MADE SPONGEBOB AND JIMMY NEUTRON WATCH!!"
I stayed here in 2006 and I gotta say, it was the best weekend EVER. As a kid, you LOVE the cheesy stuff, character rooms, and the water park! Getting slimed was a dream come true. Being local, my parents had taken me to Disney every year, but staying at the Nick hotel was by far one of the best vacations of my childhood. I was so upset when I saw it closed 10yrs later because I knew how exciting it was to go there.
6:26 As a wedding photographer, let me just say that you cannot even imagine where some people want to get married. Plus, almost as a rule, if you own a large indoor space and you are not using it for industry or warehousing, you're probably renting it as a venue on the weekends. It's just a natural consequence, it seems. I've shot in so many nasty old "shabby chic" defunct factories and the like, what people want is always far more strange than you'd think.
You’re lucky, at the flower shop I work at we only get regular old country club and hotel weddings. The the most interesting wedding venue I’ve set up was at a university, nothing like a creepy old factory I have some interesting funeral stories though
@@froggers8945 One time I was transporting this massive casket spray (a big arrangement you lay over the casket) and 2 bouquets to a funeral home. Usually I don't actually go inside the funeral homes, just to the loading dock. I unloaded the casket spray in the usual place and opened up the packaging, revealing some brown leaves and bruised petals- I'll prune them later, I told myself. When I got back to the drop off area with the other bouquets though, the casket spray was gone. So I freak out, like did someone steal it? I had to find it or my boss would kill me. I closed the loading dock door and headed into the funeral home. I knew the funeral director was somewhere around, and that I was in the area that guests weren't supposed to go. I was a sketchy looking high schooler so I was worried that I'd get in trouble because I was too awkward to explain what I was doing back there- I just wanted to see if it was put a bit further inside, no talking if possible. I prowled around, trying to avoid the funeral director and to find the damn casket spray. I found it: on the casket. That was a relief, now I could prune off the ugly shit. But when I got close to the casket I realized that it was open, and poor Elsie (I remember her name because I wrote a condolence card from someone who sent the family a bouquet earlier that day) was lying there, clutching a rosary, looking very stern and very very dead. Ok, I thought, This is creepy. I'll just pretend she's not there and prune the leaves I guess? Is it disrespectful to prune a bouquet directly over a corpse? No choice. I got to work aaaaand a leaf promptly dropped into the casket, directly on her face. I swore and considered just leaving it there- is it more disrespectful to leave a leaf on a corpse's face or to take it off? Maybe I could just... blow it to the side so that nobody could see it? I really didn't want to reach into the casket... Well, sucks to be me, again I had no choice. So looked around to see if any family members or the funeral director were around to yell at me- clear. I reached in (and if I was worried I'd be too awkward to explain why I was in the funeral home before, imagine how anxious I was to explain why I was elbow deep in a casket) and grabbed the leaf. I couldn't do it without touching her face- upper lip to be exact. Squishier than I expected. I did a couple circles around the casket to make sure I got all the ugly leaves and stuff off and then booked it out of there. The funeral director was actually in the loading dock. He gave me a pleasant wave, and I responded with a curt "hey" and then I fucking left lol
I went towards the end of its days. We stayed in one of the deluxe SpongeBob themed rooms. I have 4 distinct memories. 1) there was a statue of Blue from Blue’s Clues and I took a photo with it even thought it had sitting water that had grown algae 2) we were sold on the “kids club” by being told they had edible slime, it turned out to be applesauce dyed green. 3) there was a competition to be slimed where kids had to pick out their moms’ feet from a lineup 4) someone peed in the pool and we all had to get out
@Daniel Kintigh they're still mammilians like humans, have diseases that are stronger because of those animals environment, and this wasn't even the first outbreak of sars. really, the only difference is that people didn't capture animals and sell them for foods or luxuries as much
Everything about the resort, the orange colors, the attractions, the claustrophobic yet large scale, all of it gives the place a slightly unsettling and eerie vibe... I can't really explain it.
I apologize for giving this kind of analysis since your channel is about learning, but you are very easy on the ears! Many people who narrate their educational videos try to OVERENUNCIATE EVERY SINGLE SYLLABLE, or have EVERY SINGLE SENTENCE to sound intelligent. Thank you for being great to LISTEN to while also being enjoyable to HEAR.
I went here as a kid and there was a lifeguard at one of the big slides who told the kids when to go down the slide with time in between so we wouldn’t hit each other. The lifeguard was on his phone and just said “go,go,go” without any time in between kids. I noticed this and waited even when he said go to me and he got furious and started screaming for me to go over and over again. I went and hit a kid that was sitting right near the bottom of the slide. One of the worst experiences for me while I was there😭😭
You’re too good 😭 I’m assuming that’s the net one you climb up? The lifeguard when I was there told me to wait. I think it was just me and one other kid swimming that day
omg the same thing happened to me, I went back in maybe 2012-2013 and the life guard told me to go maybe 7 seconds after another kid, lucky we didn’t hit each other on the slide but when he was under the water I ended up going super fast and running him over 😭 my dad screamed at me and I hid under a towel for the rest of the Time we were at the pool
When I was younger I stayed at this hotel and I loved fanboy and chum chum when I got to meet them I ran right up to them and hugged them the logo on there chest was hard plastic and I hit my chin on it and it hurt like heck
I'm from Brazil and I remember going to this hotel in 2011 when I was only 8 years old, it was one of the happiest moments of my life because I saw all those characters walking around, the water rides, the slime bucket and the 4D cinema, all the things unheard of for me. Such a shame they failed to maximize providing a quality service which is not difficult. But it was good while it lasted and I can confirm!
Funny story. Years ago I was in Florida at a business conference and my parents decided to fly over so we could all go to Disney world. My mom was in charge of booking the hotel. She booked THIS hotel. She had no idea what Nickelodeon was, so driving up to Jimmy Neutron's giant head peering down was quite a shock. When we checked in the lady asked if there were any children. You can imagine the look we got when we said no. My mom thought she was booking a two-room suite. My "room" was the bunk bed kids room with a curtain for a door. Three grown adults with no children at the character breakfast buffet was pretty hilarious. We ended up doing the 4D show and getting slimed, though. She has never lived it down lol
I stayed there for my tenth birthday in 2006. The ads for the place really got to me, and I was desperate to go there for months before it opened. I don't remember it super well, but I made it to both of the pools, got slimed (I remember being disappointed that the 'slime' was just green water, and clearly not the stuff from Figure it Out and the like), and spent a lot of time at the arcade. The first day we got there, me and my brother saw some lava lamps available as prizes in the arcades. They were some of those thousand-ticket prizes no one ever actually gets, but we both wanted them, so we made a pact not to spend any of the tickets we won at the arcade on anything else. You need to understand, for a ten year old, that is a trial. There were a lot of temptations, but I knew I was only going to get that lava lamp with all the tickets I would get during my time there, so I used all of my willpower and finally managed it. I bought that lava lamp on the last day I was there, and I still have it now.
Our son BEGGED us to stay there in 2010. The rooms were musty, wet carpet, smelly, small and gross. The reception on the TVs was like something from 1960...SO BAD! The pools were nice, the show where they slimed people was kinda cool, there were a lot of characters running around to take pics with. The food at the resort was TERRIBLE and over-priced and so was the service. It was like a Motel 6 experience compared to Disney. Our youngest son was 8 and enjoyed it. We stayed in the Sponge Bob room. Our middle son was too big to fit in the bunk beds and ended up sleeping in the living area. I slept on top of the covers with my clothes on. It felt like something was biting me the entire time.
Delisa Richardson That sounds horrifying lol. Funny when you’re a kid everything is awesome you don’t notice the shitty things in life because you haven’t existed long enough to have a frame of reference.
I don’t blame you for being annoyed, from what I saw on those images it definitely looked very uncomfortable, unconditionally dirty and unstable, I wouldn’t want to stay at a place like that either.😳😑
At least you did it for the kids so they can have fond memories of looking back and remembering how much fun they had, lol. What we put up with for our kids...
See the blood on the mattresses here? Guess what that is? Probably bedbugs. Maybe lice, too. I would have called Visa 30 seconds after I got my bill with piles of photos and disputed the charge... Every fix here looks totally half-assed.
Imagine if they had a Zuko walk around character lmao. 1 min he would be taking a photo then the next he would be talking to you about restoring his honour
I actually want a Avatar themed attraction in Universal but I feel like Disney would sue them because of the Avatar naming dispute between the 2005 anime and the James Cameron movie
I remember going here as a kid for a girl scout trip in like 2009. The general vibe I remember was that the kids room themes were not updated at all... like they still had rugrats/danny phantom/my life as a teenage robot rooms when these shows ended years before. or at least taken out of primetime cable slots for kids, so you could only see it at night. i feel like if your target audience are kids between 5-10 years old, why would they be interested in something that ended when they were like 2-5 you know? and probably haven't seen or remember the shows? also could be that I was a salty 9 year old who didn't get the a:tla themed room lol
This is also something I would agree on, even if I do love classic nick, I feel like they were too dated, hell why the f##k did they put up pictures of rocko in a repaint they had in like 2013, when his show was basically the first Nicktoon to be cancelled

i remember being a kid and desperately wanting to go to the nick hotel. i was so upset when my grandma took me to disney instead, in hindsight that was the best thing she ever did for me
She saved you from horrible rashes I’m sure
My parents gave us the choice between the Nick Hotel and Disney when I was 8 or 9. I picked the Nick Hotel, and my brother agreed, because we were Nicktoons kids, and honestly? I don't regret it that much. Sure, going to Disney earlier could've been fun, but I ended up going to Disneyland for my senior trip later on, so it's not like I missed too much. However, if I had chosen Disney instead, that would've been it. I could've never experienced the Nick Hotel, since it ended up closing, and it honestly probably wouldn't have been as fun for an older kid anyway. I loved the Nick Hotel as a kid!

Grandma is a real one. ❤️👵
The fact that they had an adults only love room implies that they fully expected adults (with no children) to show up to a kids' themed resort just to boink each other. I don't know what's more terrifying, that or the fact that at least one of those rooms has definitely fulfilled their intended use at least once

“Oh, the Nick Hotel”

They two times they made the apple sauce mix a person from nickelodeon flew into Orlando to make it, only 12 people in the company knew the recipe. I worked in purchasing/the storeroom at the hotel and ordered what they needed, so I know what was in it but not the ratios. Had to sign a NDA.

For characters like Danny phantom and Aang why didn’t they have normal people in costume like most Disney characters?? That way they could actually talk and interact with fans and would actually look cool instead of terrifying
Sounds like a cool idea, but they'd have to hire a twelve-year-old to play Aang all year round, which would be tough from a legal standpoint. That, or an Ember Island Players type situation with a short bald lady. "Avatar state, yip yip!" You get the idea.

Kinda shows his age, I was a child in the mid-00s so I distinctly remember MingMing and The Backyardigans. I grew out of nickelodeon by the time Umizoomi, Bubble Guppies, and Paw Patrol came around.

i promise if you didn't get to this resort, your not missing out on much.
Megan Weller I stayed at it when I was 4 trust me you didnt miss much a lot of the big activities like game shows and the real sliming were lottery basically like when I went out of a crowd of prob 300-500 my brother got picked which made me mad
It's a little fuzzy, but I stayed there when I was 5. I remember the red bunk beds, and finally staying on the top bunk. But you're not missing out on much. I really just remember being chased by a squirrel, being slimed (which was awesome by the way), and the food court. 3/4 of those experiences were nice. But most of the time we were at Disney World. All we did at the hotel was dipping in the pool, eating, and sleeping. (which is all four/five year old me needed) But it's quite sad that it's gone. I wasn't even aware of it being closed down until now.
I did and it was awesome
I got married next to the pizza hut express at this hotel and spent a passion filled night in the adult suite before it was discontinued. The experience was highly underrated. We enjoyed all 25 inches of that television.

Honestly, I think the whole Nickelodeon theme stuff would work better on a cruise ship than as an actual hotel. Think about everything Nickelodeon Hotel had, then think about it being on a cruise ship. It would work so much better.
Well, yes but no (not trying to make the meme).
One of the biggest problems with the Nick Hotel was how immature it was, and nothing for parents. The problems would most likely permeate on water.
@@kieravermeal9127 And also...all it takes is one weird freak incident of a kid falling off the edge and disappearing forever. Although it doesn't seem to be a problem with Disney Cruises.

Leanne Deetz Good point. Since I was five my parents would take me to Hershey Park every summer. For a majority of the times we stayed at the The Holliday Inn Express. A few of the times we ended up in the same room. Recently when we were there, we came home from dinner to find ants all over the tv stand, a solo cup that had a drop of my grape juice in it, my moms licorice that she left open and the beds. We asked room service to get rid of the ants the next day via calling the front desk. My dad was still in our room showering and my mom and I headed down to the kitchen for breakfast and mom asked the lady at the front desk if they will send someone to get rid of the ants while we were at the park, and the lady said that there is someone up there now yet we were just up there and my dad was in the shower. We came home from the park at around 10pm and there were still ants all over the room. And the most annoying part, were on the third floor and that is a room we ended up in at least twice. In conclusion, DON'T TRUST HOLLIDAY INN.
If 'The Shining' is ever remade, I want it to take place at a Nickelodeon Hotel, and all the ghosts are replaced by mascot characters, one of whom must be Jimmy Neutron.

The lack of foresight on this is amazing, they themed this place after children’s tv shows, ya know the kinda shows that last 2, 4 years max.
I mean one of the physically biggest characters on that slide was Aang, from a show that ran 2005-2008, I mean it's one hell of a show, but the show didn't have much longevity for new kids who hadn't grown up on atla.
@@SlimTheydy and Jenny too, her show only lasted 3 seasons and the 3rd took years to even start airing.
Compared to the construction and operation costs of the resort, replacing the characters every few years is worth pennies on the dollar if it would keep guests coming in
They also had an immortal sponge and the Fairly Odd Parents outlasted the theme by about a year, but those are the only exceptions that I can think of.
I feel if they leaned into Avatar it would have been good. One of the few nick shows that is adult enough to maintain a loyal fan base.

6:26 As a wedding photographer, let me just say that you cannot even imagine where some people want to get married. Plus, almost as a rule, if you own a large indoor space and you are not using it for industry or warehousing, you're probably renting it as a venue on the weekends. It's just a natural consequence, it seems. I've shot in so many nasty old "shabby chic" defunct factories and the like, what people want is always far more strange than you'd think.
what’s the craziest place someone got married at?
@@froggers8945 sounds like one of those text to speech reddit ama videos
You’re lucky, at the flower shop I work at we only get regular old country club and hotel weddings. The the most interesting wedding venue I’ve set up was at a university, nothing like a creepy old factory
I have some interesting funeral stories though
@@andynonymous6769 tell funeral story
@@froggers8945 One time I was transporting this massive casket spray (a big arrangement you lay over the casket) and 2 bouquets to a funeral home. Usually I don't actually go inside the funeral homes, just to the loading dock. I unloaded the casket spray in the usual place and opened up the packaging, revealing some brown leaves and bruised petals- I'll prune them later, I told myself. When I got back to the drop off area with the other bouquets though, the casket spray was gone. So I freak out, like did someone steal it? I had to find it or my boss would kill me.
I closed the loading dock door and headed into the funeral home. I knew the funeral director was somewhere around, and that I was in the area that guests weren't supposed to go. I was a sketchy looking high schooler so I was worried that I'd get in trouble because I was too awkward to explain what I was doing back there- I just wanted to see if it was put a bit further inside, no talking if possible. I prowled around, trying to avoid the funeral director and to find the damn casket spray. I found it: on the casket. That was a relief, now I could prune off the ugly shit. But when I got close to the casket I realized that it was open, and poor Elsie (I remember her name because I wrote a condolence card from someone who sent the family a bouquet earlier that day) was lying there, clutching a rosary, looking very stern and very very dead.
Ok, I thought, This is creepy. I'll just pretend she's not there and prune the leaves I guess? Is it disrespectful to prune a bouquet directly over a corpse? No choice. I got to work aaaaand a leaf promptly dropped into the casket, directly on her face. I swore and considered just leaving it there- is it more disrespectful to leave a leaf on a corpse's face or to take it off? Maybe I could just... blow it to the side so that nobody could see it? I really didn't want to reach into the casket... Well, sucks to be me, again I had no choice. So looked around to see if any family members or the funeral director were around to yell at me- clear. I reached in (and if I was worried I'd be too awkward to explain why I was in the funeral home before, imagine how anxious I was to explain why I was elbow deep in a casket) and grabbed the leaf. I couldn't do it without touching her face- upper lip to be exact. Squishier than I expected.
I did a couple circles around the casket to make sure I got all the ugly leaves and stuff off and then booked it out of there. The funeral director was actually in the loading dock. He gave me a pleasant wave, and I responded with a curt "hey" and then I fucking left lol
I went towards the end of its days. We stayed in one of the deluxe SpongeBob themed rooms.
I have 4 distinct memories.
1) there was a statue of Blue from Blue’s Clues and I took a photo with it even thought it had sitting water that had grown algae
2) we were sold on the “kids club” by being told they had edible slime, it turned out to be applesauce dyed green.
3) there was a competition to be slimed where kids had to pick out their moms’ feet from a lineup
4) someone peed in the pool and we all had to get out
Damn who let Dan Schnider design a challenge
@@trollcop4504 Danny boy doesn't go for that. The moms are too old for him.
Having the Nickelodeon character’s designed on the walls, staring at you while you sleep and having no windows in the kids’ rooms is a bit creepy
Imagine Dora watching you sleep
I remember sleeping with Spongebob.
personally I would have loved it
Its a more dangerous version of SCP 1155, worse since it was less unsuspecting at the hotel
The no windows was Dan schneiders idea
Nickelodeon afraid of being corporate that is the funniest thing I have heard all day
Wii Sports Senorita I’ve never heard that before
I mean this actually costed millions to begin construction you know?
@Daniel Kintigh they're still mammilians like humans, have diseases that are stronger because of those animals environment, and this wasn't even the first outbreak of sars. really, the only difference is that people didn't capture animals and sell them for foods or luxuries as much
Everything about the resort, the orange colors, the attractions, the claustrophobic yet large scale, all of it gives the place a slightly unsettling and eerie vibe... I can't really explain it.
almost like the backrooms
The hotel itself was quite cheesy 🧀🧀🧀🧀
Liminal space you know?
Nostalgic yet familiar that's Limnial Spaces for you.
being in this place alone at night would be terrifying lmaooo
I apologize for giving this kind of analysis since your channel is about learning, but you are very easy on the ears! Many people who narrate their educational videos try to OVERENUNCIATE EVERY SINGLE SYLLABLE, or have EVERY SINGLE SENTENCE to sound intelligent. Thank you for being great to LISTEN to while also being enjoyable to HEAR.
I went here as a kid and there was a lifeguard at one of the big slides who told the kids when to go down the slide with time in between so we wouldn’t hit each other. The lifeguard was on his phone and just said “go,go,go” without any time in between kids. I noticed this and waited even when he said go to me and he got furious and started screaming for me to go over and over again. I went and hit a kid that was sitting right near the bottom of the slide. One of the worst experiences for me while I was there😭😭
In that moment, you were smarter than the person in charge
hopefully that guy got fired
You’re too good 😭
I’m assuming that’s the net one you climb up? The lifeguard when I was there told me to wait. I think it was just me and one other kid swimming that day
omg the same thing happened to me, I went back in maybe 2012-2013 and the life guard told me to go maybe 7 seconds after another kid, lucky we didn’t hit each other on the slide but when he was under the water I ended up going super fast and running him over 😭 my dad screamed at me and I hid under a towel for the rest of the Time we were at the pool
What’s up checkmark
When I was younger I stayed at this hotel and I loved fanboy and chum chum when I got to meet them I ran right up to them and hugged them the logo on there chest was hard plastic and I hit my chin on it and it hurt like heck
How in the world they didn't cosinfer things like that?
You liked Fanboy and Chum Chum? Their designs gave me nightmares 😭😭😭
First mistake - being a fan of Famboy and Chum Chum
Guess you could say you were a fanboy of Fanboy and Chum Chum

I'm from Brazil and I remember going to this hotel in 2011 when I was only 8 years old, it was one of the happiest moments of my life because I saw all those characters walking around, the water rides, the slime bucket and the 4D cinema, all the things unheard of for me. Such a shame they failed to maximize providing a quality service which is not difficult. But it was good while it lasted and I can confirm!
That hotel looks like it smells like Cheetos and dirty socks
Dirty spongebob socks
It did.
It did💀
🤮
Ingrid it probably smells evil and looks like despair
Funny story. Years ago I was in Florida at a business conference and my parents decided to fly over so we could all go to Disney world. My mom was in charge of booking the hotel. She booked THIS hotel. She had no idea what Nickelodeon was, so driving up to Jimmy Neutron's giant head peering down was quite a shock.
When we checked in the lady asked if there were any children. You can imagine the look we got when we said no. My mom thought she was booking a two-room suite. My "room" was the bunk bed kids room with a curtain for a door.
Three grown adults with no children at the character breakfast buffet was pretty hilarious. We ended up doing the 4D show and getting slimed, though. She has never lived it down lol
That’s incredible, I can’t imagine what the conversations were like with the characters. Hi bubble guppies I have no clue who you are
Holy shit I’m so attracted to the way you write

I stayed there for my tenth birthday in 2006. The ads for the place really got to me, and I was desperate to go there for months before it opened. I don't remember it super well, but I made it to both of the pools, got slimed (I remember being disappointed that the 'slime' was just green water, and clearly not the stuff from Figure it Out and the like), and spent a lot of time at the arcade.
The first day we got there, me and my brother saw some lava lamps available as prizes in the arcades. They were some of those thousand-ticket prizes no one ever actually gets, but we both wanted them, so we made a pact not to spend any of the tickets we won at the arcade on anything else. You need to understand, for a ten year old, that is a trial. There were a lot of temptations, but I knew I was only going to get that lava lamp with all the tickets I would get during my time there, so I used all of my willpower and finally managed it. I bought that lava lamp on the last day I was there, and I still have it now.
ThePuppyTurtle awe that's great, you stayed strong till the end : )😊
It would be better if they used actual slime.
ThePuppyTurtle omg the slime disappointed me too

Our son BEGGED us to stay there in 2010. The rooms were musty, wet carpet, smelly, small and gross. The reception on the TVs was like something from 1960...SO BAD! The pools were nice, the show where they slimed people was kinda cool, there were a lot of characters running around to take pics with. The food at the resort was TERRIBLE and over-priced and so was the service. It was like a Motel 6 experience compared to Disney. Our youngest son was 8 and enjoyed it. We stayed in the Sponge Bob room. Our middle son was too big to fit in the bunk beds and ended up sleeping in the living area. I slept on top of the covers with my clothes on. It felt like something was biting me the entire time.
Delisa Richardson That sounds horrifying lol. Funny when you’re a kid everything is awesome you don’t notice the shitty things in life because you haven’t existed long enough to have a frame of reference.
I don’t blame you for being annoyed, from what I saw on those images it definitely looked very uncomfortable, unconditionally dirty and unstable, I wouldn’t want to stay at a place like that either.😳😑
That, my dear, was probably bedbugs
At least you did it for the kids so they can have fond memories of looking back and remembering how much fun they had, lol. What we put up with for our kids...
See the blood on the mattresses here? Guess what that is? Probably bedbugs. Maybe lice, too.
I would have called Visa 30 seconds after I got my bill with piles of photos and disputed the charge...
Every fix here looks totally half-assed.

I remember going here as a kid for a girl scout trip in like 2009. The general vibe I remember was that the kids room themes were not updated at all... like they still had rugrats/danny phantom/my life as a teenage robot rooms when these shows ended years before. or at least taken out of primetime cable slots for kids, so you could only see it at night. i feel like if your target audience are kids between 5-10 years old, why would they be interested in something that ended when they were like 2-5 you know? and probably haven't seen or remember the shows?
also could be that I was a salty 9 year old who didn't get the a:tla themed room lol
I mean, the hotel had pics of Rugrats, Chalkzone, Hey Arnold, Rocket Power and WTB, which are all shows from the 90s-2004.
This is also something I would agree on, even if I do love classic nick, I feel like they were too dated, hell why the f##k did they put up pictures of rocko in a repaint they had in like 2013, when his show was basically the first Nicktoon to be cancelled
there’s nothing to update them with Nickelodeon has nothing except nostalgia for millennials
