Palisades Center Mall 2021 Update - Carousel Removed!

- The Palisades Center Mall is a four-floor shopping and entertainment complex in West Nyack, New York. Opened in 1998, this mall features full size restaurants, entertainment venues, amusements, and over 200 stores. It was even a frequent filming location for the show Impractical Jokes. In today's video, I take you on a tour to see how the mall is rebounding from the struggles of 2020 and the Covid-19 pandemic. I sadly find that the carousel has been removed.

I was born and raised in Rockland County. I spent a lot of time hanging out at the Palisades Mall back in the day. I moved out of New York over 15 years ago and haven't been back since. It's sad to see a lot of places I hung out at close down.
Yeah its a real bummer...
It’s so sad seeing so many businesses that have been open for years and decades have to close down due to what’s happened recently. I love your positive outlook and your optimism 🙏🏼
Oh, thank you so much!
Honestly it's been happening for the past 5-8 years, even before COVID. Hell some places went out of business 10+ years ago.
@@dtxspeaks268 retail apocalypse been going on since late 2008. No end in sight
@@chm9935 but it didnt really take off until 2014/2015 when Amazon got big and big companies started buying out smaller companies. Then the Pandemic hit in 2020.
Glad to see this mall is still surviving, thanks for taking us around.
Thanks for watching!
Great tour Ray! Great to see the mall is making a come back!
Thank you!
Not to be the bearer of bad news, I'd hardly call it a comeback. This mall hasn't been consistent or great since like 2018. Only stores and restaurants they've opened since that were any good were/are Beef Jerky outlet, Pepper Palace, Blu Ale House, Great American Cookie and the shaved ice place
I grew up in this place:( it’s pretty sad the Disney store closed I loved to go into the store and I also loved the carasoul
Thank you, Ray for the tour.
Absolutely great job!!!
Thank you so much, glad you enjoyed it!
We used to come to NY from Scotland and visit my family, absolutely loved this mall I was always in awe of it! Hope it’s still good when I come back
It's struggling like all malls but there's still a lot of fun to be had here
@@RayOutThere can’t wait to come back!! Good on you for supporting 😍
Nice that you mentioned Impractical Jokers. They also filmed in Jersey Gardens at the very start, as well as Willowbrook.
I always got a kick out of seeing them at this place, and even in grocery stores I've been to like Fairway in Paramus.
I have been to one of there live shows, very entertaining.
@@RayOutThere RIP Fairway
Speaking of arcades, Round 1 is definitely one of my favorites. A lot of their games and prizes are imported from Japan. It's worth a visit if you're around PA or NY, plus they're usually an anchor tenant in malls.
I really need to check out a Round 1, I would probably love it. I think there's one in a deadish mall in PA.
I hope they have some Touhou prizes.
I went here last year and it was EMPTY and so many stores closed. I use to love this mall growing up but its pretty sad now.... I believe Jeepers was an indoor very small amusement park/arcade. I know there use to be one in Jersey Gardens mall but it closed down
Every time I come here it seems to slip a little further into decline. Its a shame because its one of my favorite malls and I have some good memories here.
I think I had my birthday party there 20 years ago. It had a mini rollercoaster and lazer tag.
Aw man. I remember the carousel so clearly because one of the times where I went here (back when it was called the Palisades Mall) was when I was 6 years old on a first grade class field trip to see Charlie and the Chocolate Factory at the AMC theater over there in late 2005. I remember how exciting the day was-we got on the bus and then traveled over there and ate in the food court. I saw the carousel in the food court and marveled at it-wanting to ride that thing so bad. Of course, we weren’t there for the carousel, and this wasn’t the mall that my family often frequented (that was the Westchester mall in white plains). But of course, the thing I most remember is of the movie theater experience itself-which I remember surprisingly somewhat vividly for someone that young. I remember the gigantic banner for the next Harry Potter movie above us (it may or may not have been Goblet of Fire), the concessions stand, what I got for snacks (a small popcorn, a chocolate covered Graham cracker candy bar, and a small sprite), and the IMAX presentation for watching the movie. I’m not sure which trailers played, but…yeah.
This mall used to be really great. Its a shame its not as good as it used to be
Nice to see the mall alive! Great explore 👍👍
Thanks!
It seems so quiet there now. Thanks for the tour! 👍🏼
Thank you!
My wife and I used to hang out at this mall 20 years ago go to Dave & Buster’s or one of the other restaurants up top. A friend of mine used to run the store on the top floor called back stage (or something like that) it was the only cool store on the top floor so he used to stay open late like the restaurants and sell expensive rock ‘n’ roll type gear then he started doing tattoos etc. I would go often and then since my son was born 10 years ago, I think we went twice ,actually I just drove buy the back of it this July as they had a firework tent sent up in the back of the mall. It’s so much property back there to park I’m and it’s always empty.
I went to that mall about 3 weeks ago and it’s dead compared to what It was years ago, same with my local mall but I’m glad to see both malls (I’m sure a lot of other malls) are slowly starting to fill up how they used to be
I think they're getting a boost because people want to be out right now
@@RayOutThere I might be going Tuesday, let’s see how they are doing then
I miss the mall in the '00s. Jeepers, Brenner Florsheim (my parents used to shop there), the Superman kiddie ride across from Opus... good times.
This mall is very similar to Carousal Mall in Syracuse, with the rope course, go carts, comedy club, ect. Thanks for sharing.
I'll have to check that out if I'm ever up that way. Thanks for watching!
Dont know if you’re still reading comments, but Jeepers was a version of chuck e cheese they had when the mall first opened. It was an arcade with roller coaster rides and jungle gyms. I used to go there all the time as a little kid. It closed back in 2006 i believe
Thank you, I was wondering what that place was
Would you check out Rockaway mall
The red crab has great food and I have a picture in front of the lobster. I also LOVED the conveyer belt sushi restaurant. There is so many memories but those are a few…
Also the carousel is now a few rock climbing walls. I’m to scared to go on them tho 😂
Last edit, we buy faygo on the DAILY and my house we hgot cans on cans
NO WAY I THOUGHT I WAS TRIPPING NOT SEEING IT THERE
I could’ve sworn there was a tiny indoor amusement park next to where the 🎡 used to be when I was a kid. 🤔
Looks like a nice mall. Thanks for the tour
Thanks for checking it out!
The rope course is pretty cool but during a recent weekday afternoon in winter there wasn't a single person using it. It's not really a sustainable business throughout the year (or even week).
I was the Store Manager at Crazy 8 before it shut down. I hardly remember this mall because I live in Jersey!
Awesome ❤
Same I love ❤️ dave and busters no matter what location is dave and busters it is in the world it;s finally opened.
This is really sad! I want a different carousel to be at that mall!
Yeah me too
Why did they close the carousel? I spent many times at the mall riding it and the Ferris wheel.
Someone told me its coming back? I have no idea now
I'm surprised you've never been to East Sushi before! That place was open since like 2005 until like 2020.
Also Jeepers! was a children's and family party place, similar to Chuck E Cheese. It was jungle themed and had rides, an arcade and typical party food (pizza, hot dogs, chicken fingers and fries, candy, and burgers).
And Track 23 used to be a Modells that closed in 2019.
Nah, I missed out on the sushi place. Jeepers sounds like it was a cool place
@@RayOutThere damn you missed out on a good 16 years lol.
I recall there used to be a place called Fire and Ice where Little Buddha is now. It was a mix of buffet, brewery, salad bar and buffet.
@@RayOutThere and yeah Jeepers is completely out of business, and so is Krazy City.
Chuck E Cheese is still around and Billy Beez is becoming popular.
Oh no.... :( used to shop there in the late 90s every Fri. HOT topic, the game room a train shop. :(...
How about doing Spruce run reservoir? I’m here right now and it’s completely empty. There’s no swimming allowed for what reasons I’m not sure. This place is usually very busy this time of year but right now there’s just two people sitting on the beach. Parking lots are deserted. It will cost five dollars to come in though
I could do that. I haven't been doing too many outdoor videos lately because its been so hot.
I was curious , I want to visit this Mall. Since NY is requesting vaccine cards for restaurants and entertainment, are they asking for it in this mall ?
No one asked me, but I didn't go into any restaurants, so I can't say.
Thank you for the feedback
That’s only in NYC
There a new store called hype room that sells air jordon shoes etc if you wanna stop by to it it’s on the second floor
I've seen that store pop up in some of my local malls. Maybe I should pick up some new sneakers
Isn't this the mall with the bungee cord thing?
Yes, one of the largest indoor rope courses. It spans all four floors
Of course I remember hot topic and Disney store palisades mall definitely reminds me of sawgrass mills mall.
lol I thought mumuso closed. I remember they had a closing sale late last year and it looked like they were having trouble selling off the merchandise. Even when they closed there was still some merch left, but it looks like they returned so that's nice. They also had another location at Bergen Town Center but that closed last year.
I think I remember that now that you mention it. I haven't been to that mall in a long time, maybe I should check it out.
@@RayOutThere Definitely. Bergen Town Center is one of the few malls that went through a massive comeback.
I remember what the carousel looked like it was always lit up didn’t matter what part of the day it was I don’t see the Ferris wheel there to much longer unless they are just gonna keep it there for show if they keep it there for show at least put LED lights on it and I haven’t been in that mall since like 2017 maybe..
I heard that the carousel may be coming back? I don't really know what's happening with the ferris wheel.
@@RayOutThere they should keep it as show put LED lights on it or get rid of it and put a really big Christmas tree there this year as for the carousel maybe they should bring it back, I think the Ferris wheel should go..
Guess that the Ice Skating Rink Is Also Long Gone?
I think it's still there
As shown on 8:42-8:51 or even cd 💿 too now it’s all digital now.
I was there in the late 90’s - early 00’s. I remember a Cheesecake Factory there and also a large Brazilian steakhouse. They had large game head mounts on the walls and the food was really good. Can’t recall the name?
I'm not too sure, but it sounds like it was a cool place. They opened a Texas de Brazil a few years ago which I think is now closed
@@RayOutThere I used to actually work at that Texas de Brazil from 2017 to 2019. It's know another Brazilian Rodizio called Picanha.
To OP, you're confusing time period. The large game head mounts was in the early 2000s.
Meanwhile the Brazilian steakhouse didnt open up until 2016.
DTXSpeaks OK, could be as I was also there in 2006 I recall. Do you know what type of restaurant in the early 2000’s had the game mounts?
The Brazilian steakhouse with the game mounts was called Brazeiro Churrascaria. It was in the 4th floor where IHOP would be
I love ❤️ outback as shown on 1:09.
Is the lego store still there?
This is depressing to watch. Especially finding out it’s going on foreclosure
What about yard house?
You missed showing us the slaves cemetery that they build the mall around!
But, yes, thank you for the tour! Do you reside in Rockland County?
I'm in Jersey actually. I was going to make a video about the cemetery but I didn't think I could do it properly.
@@RayOutThere has anyone done that on YT? Would be a fascinating story. Not just the history of the cemetery but why the mall was allowed to build around it
What cemetery? I've been to that mall tonz of times and never heard anything about that. Would love to read about it
Heard it’s gonna be a climbing wall now
That's kinda lame
We just opened Payless come in and check out the furniture
Anyone find out why they removed the carousel?
There making a rock climbing in that spot
@@proto7310 thanks, we were there Saturday and I saw that. Didn't look open yet though
13:33 - $17.95 for a small bottle of hotsauce? I can't believe that this store is still in business. Their rent must be dirt cheap....
14.03 - it's a Hong Kong based retailer.... :-)
I had to pass on those sauces!
@Ray Out There understandable. I bet some were tasty though. 😆
i miss the carousel now they made a rock climbing place 😭😭😭
Cmon the rock climbing place looks pretty nice
@@phantomcynder6062 it does look really nice! but i still miss the carousel
The loss of the carousel is yet another "nail in the coffin" for this dying mall. SMH ....Thank you for posting this. It was one of my favorite malls growing up. I always thought that it was way too big for the Rockland area market. Maybe it should be redeveloped into an "outdoor mall" with a housing tower where anchor stored used to be.
I heard they were trying to turn some of the old anchor space into hotel rooms but it didn't happen
the carousel is back
@@jaymcgo1999 No WAY!
@@AB-sy9tf kidding
@Jay Mcgo stop playing with my heart man. You mean! 🤣😅
Track 23 was models
Thanks!
As shown on 4:12.
Models clothing store lost business replaced by track 23
bruh i saw u filming this
Lol no way!
@@RayOutThere when you were touring that restaurant me and my dad were coming out of target to go home and I saw you i told my dad but we were to shy to say hi!
@@angelix5580 I didn't think anyone would recognize me. But thank you , I appreciate that!
Update: the lord and Taylor is becoming a York factory!
Is that just an office space?
Yeah it is going to become an office space, most of the lord and Taylor stores are becoming York factory offices.
Now it's an office? I'm telling ya, the PPP Mall was the first to do everything!!
Ihop is closed
No more pancakes at the mall...
7:34 - "Moderately busy?" Are you kidding? It's dead. You would never see Garden State Plaza in Paramus this dead.
Carousels are so pointless anyways.
