Blackpool Pleasure Beach Invites Thrillseekers to Climb and Walk the Nickelodeon Streak
Forget walking the plank... rollercoaster fans are being offered to experience a brand new high - walking the woodie!
Experience the ups and downs of walking the tracks of classic wooden rollercoaster Nickelodeon Streak at Blackpool Pleasure Beach |
With thrill-seekers counting down the days to the return of a white-knuckle fix, bosses at Blackpool Pleasure Beach, which will open for its 125th season on April 12, have unveiled an all new adventure for 2021 – climbing the park’s classic wooden rollercoaster, the Nickelodeon Streak!
The new activity has already proved a big hit, with limited tickets remaining for the three dates on May 13, June 17, and July 1.
Originally opened in 1933 and using the lift hill from Velvet Coaster, which was built in 1909, the ride was formerly known as The Rollercoaster.
It was renamed Nickelodeon Streak when it became a feature within the Nickelodeon Land area of the South Shore park.
Daredevils will be able to experience the highs and lows, treading the boards from a whole other level – with the tracks usually only reserved for the specialist ride engineers.
The tracks of the ride, first opened in 1933, have only previously been open to ride engineers. |
The Walk The Woodie event will run for a limited time only guests are able to enjoy the exhilarating experience between May 13 to October 8. There are three slots available each day, 6pm, 7pm and 8pm, and each slot will be available to a select number of guests; up to four people per walk. Walk The Woodie is available for ages 12+ and tickets are priced at £65 each. Each slot offers a unique 90-minute encounter, which will take small groups on a part circuit walk of the historic wooden ride.
Harnesses, helmets and protective equipment will be provided but guests must wear suitable study footwear with good grip, such as walking boots.
Guests are also required to partake in a safety briefing beforehand and should allow 90 minutes for the experience.
With plenty of photo opportunities along the way, guests will learn the ins and outs of rollercoaster maintenance while enjoying stunning panoramic views of the theme park.
A Pleasure Beach spokesman said: “The Nickelodeon Streak, our classic wooden rollercoaster, has been thrilling guests since 1933, formally under its previous name but more recently in its distinctive orange guise.
“If you like adventure and want an exhilarating experience that gives a unique insight into how a wooden rollercoaster is maintained – with some great photo opportunities along the way – then this is the experience for you.”
All new first time experience for coaster enthusiasts |
The new offering is an addition to the park’s other walk up the Big One.
Those brave enough to put their best step forward have been advised the new walk is ‘physically demanding’, including steep climbs, drops, heights and uneven surfaces.
All will be equipped for the experience with harnesses, helmets and protective equipment. Two spectators are able to join the climbing guests free of charge.
The Nickelodeon Streak can be easily recognised from its bright orange paintwork and allows guests to fly around the perimeter of Nickelodeon Land, Blackpool Pleasure Beach’s children park.
Further dates are expected to be announced. Visit https://www.blackpoolpleasurebeach.com/whats-on/walk-the-woodie/ for tickets and more information.
For those who like to keep firmly on the ground, there's a selection of jobs currently available at Pleasure Beach Blackpool, including at the Nickelodeon Shop. Nickelodeon SlimeFest is also set to make a return later this year.

YouTube TV Adds More ViacomCBS Networks, Including Nick Jr., TeenNick and NickToons
Last May, YouTube TV and ViacomCBS reached a multi-year deal to add a selection of ViacomCBS channels, including Nickelodeon, BET, CMT, Comedy Central, MTV, Paramount Network, TV Land, and VH1 to the live TV and on-demand subscription service. At the time, customers were told that Nick Jr., NickToons, TeenNick, BET Her, MTV2, and MTV Classic would be available on the service at a later date.
While the main channels launched on the service in late-June, the rest still hadn’t been available. That changes today, as YouTube TV has added the rest of the ViacomCBS networks, along with Dabl, a recently launched OTA lifestyle network from the company to its Live TV line-up.
If you use a “Custom Guide”, you must make sure to go to “Settings” —> “Live Guide” to add them.
In January, Hulu reached a deal to bring the networks to the service, meaning they are carried by YouTube TV, fuboTV, Philo, AT&T TV, Sling TV — in addition to Hulu Live TV. They will be launching on Hulu + Live TV in the near future.

Paula Kaplan Exits Role of Head of Talent at Nickelodeon
ViacomCBS veteran Paula Kaplan is leaving Nickelodeon, where she most recently served as Executive Vice President (EVP) of Nickelodeon Talent.
Deadline reports that this was a personal decision Kaplan made, and she just informed her colleagues of her pending departure. It comes after Kaplan’s team helped mount the 2021 Kids’ Choice Awards ceremony this past weekend, which featured top talent. A new leadership for Nickelodeon’s department is expected to be announced shortly.
“Very few people get to work at an amazing company, much less get to work for the same company twice,” Kaplan said in the internal note, a copy of which was obtained by Deadline. “I have been incredibly fortunate to spend 25 years working with remarkable people, but I have decided now is the time for me to explore other creative opportunities. This year has revolutionized our industry and I am excited about all the possibilities that are unfolding. To ensure that this transition goes smoothly, I will be available until the end of April.”
In her first stint at Nickelodeon, from 1993-2014, Kaplan, an accomplished and respected talent executive, held a string of talent and management exec roles at the network that included EVP Original Programming & Live Events; EVP Talent/General Manager, West Coast; Senior Vice President (SVP) Talent and Vice President (VP) Talent Relations. During her tenure she developed such young talent as Ariana Grande, Kenan Thompson, Emma Roberts and Nick Cannon, oversaw production on Nickelodeon’s Kids’ Choice Awards; and launched Nick’s music footprint by spearheading a joint venture with Sony Music encompassing TV series, albums and tours.
She went on to work for Brian Robbins’ AwesomenessTV as Chief Talent Officer and Head of Live Content from 2015-2018, where she led the company’s talent initiatives and casting strategies for film, series and new business opportunities. Kaplan was instrumental in the success of Awesomeness Film’s production of To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before for Netflix, which became one of the streaming service’s most-viewed original film.
Kaplan returned to Nickelodeon and Viacom in 2018 as EVP of talent and development for Viacom Digital Studios when the company acquired AwesomenessTV in 2018, reuniting with Robbins, now president of Nickelodeon. Viacom expanded her remit a year later to encompass Nickelodeon talent development after she helped triple Viacom Digital Studios’ social views, watch time and followers.
There have been a lot of executive shifts at ViacomCBS lately. Last month, Olivier Jollet was named the first-ever SVP of strategy and business development for streaming and head of mobile. In January, Nickelodeon VP Chris Rose took on more responsibility as VP of production and development for Nickelodeon and new kids studio VIS KIDS. And last October, Nina Hahn was tapped to launch and lead VIS KIDS.

Melanie Chartoff Reveals She Won't Be Reprising Her Role of 'Didi Pickles' in 'Rugrats' Reboot
Actor and author Melanie Chartoff has revealed she won't be reprising her iconic role of Didi Pickles in Nickelodeon's upcoming CG-animated Rugrats reboot - at least not for the first season.
In a interview with CTPost, Chartoff, 72, revealed that, as the new episodes will focus more on the babies with less attention on the parents, she hasn’t yet been asked to reprise her role, but hopes she can be a part of it in the future.
However, with Rugrats making a CGI comeback later this year, Chartoff, who voiced the red-haired mother of Tommy Pickles (whose voice she modeled after her own mother) and other characters for nine seasons, four movies and various spin-offs, has nothing but praise the cartoon’s ability to cater to both adults and children — a reason why it’s remained iconic for so long.
“Now it’s so popular because new kids are discovering it," Chartoff said. "Their parents are re-discovering it. It’s ageless.
“It’s been a huge part of my life,” Chartoff said. “I got a good 30 years out of it.”

BURBANK, Calif.—(February 24, 2021)—Nickelodeon is reuniting members of the original voice cast behind iconic toddlers Tommy Pickles, Chuckie Finster, Angelica Pickles, Susie Carmichael and Phil and Lil DeVille in the upcoming all-new Rugrats animated series. A reimagining of the classic ‘90s hit, the CG-animated series stars E.G. Daily (Tommy), Nancy Cartwright (Chuckie), Cheryl Chase (Angelica), Cree Summer (Susie) and Kath Soucie (Phil and Lil), all of whom are reprising their iconic roles in this new series. Produced by Nickelodeon Animation Studio, the series is set to debut this spring on Paramount+, the highly anticipated streaming service from ViacomCBS.
“Rugrats is one of the most iconic cartoons recognized by fans around the globe, and this original version is one we are taking great care and pride in creating for a brand-new audience,” said Ramsey Naito, President, Nickelodeon Animation. “Having the voice cast behind these special characters come together is one of the essential pieces to making the show recognizable and we can’t wait to watch this talented group bring them to life again.”
The brand-new series features rich and colorful CG-animation and follows the toddlers as they explore the world and beyond from their pint-sized and wildly imaginative point-of-view.
The all-new Rugrats is based on the series created by Arlene Klasky, Gabor Csupo and Paul Germain. Eryk Casemiro (Rugrats) and Kate Boutilier (Rugrats) are executive producers and Dave Pressler (Robot and Monster) and Casey Leonard (Breadwinners) serve as co-executive producers, with Rachel Lipman (Rugrats) as co-producer and Kellie Smith (The Fairly OddParents) as line producer. Production is overseen by Mollie Freilich, Senior Manager, Current Series Animation, Nickelodeon.
The original Rugrats series launched in August of 1991 and instantly became a groundbreaking phenomenon, spawning consumer products and three hit theatrical releases, and cemented its place in pop culture history through its iconic characters, storytelling and unique visual style. Rugrats was in production for nine seasons over the course of 13 years. The series earned four Daytime Emmy Awards, six Kids' Choice Awards and its own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Updates:
3/16 - Actor and author Melanie Chartoff has revealed that she won't be reprising her iconic role of Didi Pickles for the reboot. As the new episodes will focus more on the babies with less attention on the parents, she revealed that hasn’t yet been asked to reprise her role, but hopes she can be a part of it in the future.
Chartoff also praised the cartoon’s ability to cater to both adults and children — a reason why it’s remained iconic for so long. “Now it’s so popular because new kids are discovering it," Chartoff said. "Their parents are re-discovering it. It’s ageless. [...] It’s been a huge part of my life,” Chartoff said. “I got a good 30 years out of it.”
2/25 - Charlie Adler (Rocko's Modern Life: Static Cling, Blaze and the Monster Machines) is voice directing the series. (via)

Singapore, February 2, 2021 – Actor, comedian and Saturday Night Live legend Kenan Thompson (Kenan, All That) will take kids on a wild and slimy ride as host of Nickelodeon’s Kids’ Choice Awards 2021, airing in Asia on Wednesday, March 17 at 4.50pm (SG), 4pm (WIB) and 5pm (MY, PH). In Singapore, Singtel subscribers can enjoy an exclusive first look through Singtel CAST. Please refer to the encore dates and times at the end of this announcement, or check local listings.
With Thompson at the helm, kids and families everywhere will literally be part of this year’s show like never before for an epic celebration of fan-favorite stars across the worlds of film, television, music, sports and more.
Said Thompson, “Nickelodeon has been part of my life and my family forever and I can’t wait to host this year’s Kids’ Choice Awards. Am I worried about getting slimed? Naaaah. It’s going to come fast and cold, but it’s not my first rodeo -- you know what I’m saying? So, bring on the slime and let’s do this!”
For the first time ever, Nickelodeon’s Orange Blimp will leave the KCA venue and take fans on a wild ride around the world and beyond. Filled with slime and messy stunts, viewers will travel to outer space, Bikini Bottom and right into celebrities’ homes using XR technology. This year’s show will also feature live and interactive fan walls that bring celebrities and families at home to the main stage; second screen live voting all night long where fans stay in control; and a KCA award presented by one lucky family chosen during the show.
Leading the pack at this year’s Kids’ Choice Awards nominations are: Justin Bieber with five; Stranger Things with four; and Ariana Grande, The Croods: A New Age, Henry Danger, High School Musical: The Musical: The Series, Soul, Trolls World Tour and Wonder Woman 1984, all tied with three nominations each. Musical performances will be announced shortly.
Fans can cast votes through official Kids’ Choice Awards website, KCA.Nickelodeon.tv, as well as through social media on Twitter.
Thompson is no stranger to Nickelodeon, having won a coveted Kids’ Choice Awards orange blimp for “Favourite Male TV Star” for his work in Nickelodeon’s sketch comedy hit All That in 2000. He was also nominated in that same category in 1998 alongside his longtime collaborator Kel Mitchell, who both serve as executive producers for the current iteration of All That which premiered in 2019.
