It’s been a very, very long time coming (remember when it was Xanadu?), but American Dream has announced it will open to the public on Friday, October 25, 2019, and feature the launch of the property’s indoor Nickelodeon Universe Theme Park and DreamWorks Water Park – 16 acres of fully enclosed family amusement experience; Big SNOW Ski and Snowboard Park – North America’s 1st indoor snow sports center; the Ice Rink – a NHL‐size skating and hockey facility; Angry Birds 18‐hole Miniature Golf experience, along with experiential destination shopping.
Totaling approximately 3 million square feet, American Dream will house hundreds of diverse retail, dining, entertainment and fashion experiences including: the Coca‐Cola experience, featuring the Coca-Cola Social Lounge; Merlin Entertainments’ LEGOLAND Discovery Center & SEA LIFE Aquarium; CMX Luxury Movie Theatre; Munchies Food Hall; Kidzania – world‐renowned role‐playing experience for kids; American Dream Observation Wheel; Performing Art Center; and over 100 dining and specialty food offerings including over 20 full‐service restaurants, Coca‐Cola “Eats” Food Hall and Kosher Food Hall; and the Collections at American Dream – the ultimate luxury retail experience anchored by Saks Fifth Avenue and Barneys New York and featuring Hermes, Tiffany & Company, Dolce Gabbana, Moncler, Watches of Switzerland among a who’s who list of luxury and fashion retailers.
Are you looking forward to American Dream or worried it will be a traffic nightmare?
I’m glad that they’re finally opening. I hope they’ll figure out the traffic planning. MetLife Stadium traffic is already a nightmare just on its own. The project is a good adaptive re use of a wasteland.
