Editors note: I'm not 100% happy with some aspects of the video, ESPECIALLY the audio. Sound is something I've always struggled with, especially recording it. It's something I'll continue to learn though, and I hope the quality doesn't hinder your viewing experience.
I also attempted to report as accurately as I could, but I'm sure there are some inaccurate statements made, so apologies in advance for that.
Any feedback and constructive criticism is welcomed, thanks!
Thanks for watching!

I'm 27 and miss Camp Snoopy so much. It was my childhood and I remember when it all came to an end. Nickelodeon Universe doesn't have the warm feeling that Camp Snoopy had.
My god, what a nostalgia trip. Camp Snoopy was a HUGE part of my childhood, I still was young when Camp Snoopy was gone in 06 and still called it Camp Snoopy even though it was The Park of MOA. Today, my 22 year old grown ass still goes on the rides at Nickelodeon Universe but it's not the same as it used to be when it was Camp Snoopy.
I was born in February, 2001 so I vividly remember bits and pieces of Camp Snoopy. I remember my mom would bring me there sometimes with a family friend or so. I even had one of my younger birthdays there too. At the Rainforest Cafe. I remember not feeling well and not eating the cherry I got on my sunday. Even if my memories of Camp Snoopy are vivid and not much, I am still sad that they changed it to Nickelodeon Universe.
I'm 1987 so I got to spend a lot of time in camp snoopy.
It was cool to be able to walk around an amusement park without having to pay to get in.
Nickelodeon universe feels less grounded.
The outdoor backwoods feel of camp Snoopy was pretty cool. I'm glad they kept The flume ride as it was. I hope they didn't change it or take it out since!
Born March ‘93, I got to go to Camp Snoopy quite a bit in my childhood. It definitely had some kind of magical feel to it, I must say.
@@fiyahspinnahjust went on it today and it’s still Paul Bunyan themed. I don’t think they’ll ever change the theme
As someone who grew up on Camp Snoopy and would later go on to work as a performer at Nickelodeon Universe, Camp Snoopy was always my favorite! At least the best ride, the Log Chute, has remained throughout all these changes.
Slight correction, Cedar Fair purchased Knott’s (and operations pertaining to both parks) in 1997. When the park first opened in 1992, it was entirely operated by Knott’s, hence why it was called “Knott’s Camp Snoopy” and not just Camp Snoopy. This is how Cedar Fair obtained the Peanuts rights, and was ultimately the reason they were able to add the Planet Snoopy areas to their parks, such as Cedar Point, Kings Island and Dominion, Valleyfair, and others. Still a great mini-documentary though!
I unhooked the seat belt on mystery mine ride just before it ended. They all shut off and we had to restart the whole ride. Didn't think it would stop.
R.I.P Screaming Yellow Eagle, Mighty Axe, and Treetop Tumbler. 😭😭😭
& mystery mine ride 🥺
@@RyyanAndreww honestly never saw that
💯💯
@@RyyanAndreww i currently work at the moa and Mystery mine is back
Fountain too!
oof this brings a tear to my eye. I'm also from MN, and this was a heavy part of my childhood.
I've seen at least 6 arcades come in and out of MoA. Seeing a glimpse of ddr 3rd mix korea version 2 in this video was quite the sight.
The Mystery Mine Ride was amazing, and I'm glad I got to experience it growing up. I remember how big this place was as a kid.
Very well done! I was born in 86 and actually worked at the mall in 2005-2006 at the movie theater on the 4th floor. Lots of good memories. I really miss the mighty axe and screaming yellow eagle!
I worked at MOA Planet Hollywood 98-00. One of the best times of my life. Servers and bartenders would, from time to time, have our morning meetings on the roller coaster before the park opened.
I worked at camp Snoopy for 6 years and got to see the opening of the mighty Axe, little shaver, camp bus and frog Hopper and then I came back quite a few years later to see Nickelodeon universe.
Awesome job on this video! The original pictures and footage brought back some great memories. I remember my first visit on the 2nd day it was in operation back in August 1992 and it was magical. My kids are now 6 and 4 and while we enjoy visiting the park together I know they would have loved the Peanuts theme. In fact we still refer to it as Camp Snoopy quite often. Thanks for 10 sentimental minutes that brought back some wonderful memories!
I am so glad they kept the log chute ride. I go to the mall once every few weeks just to ride the log chute
As I watch this on my 29th birthday, I thank you for making this video. I cannot wait to show this to my nieces so they can get a glimpse of how I once enjoyed the park at their age!
I'm so glad someone thought to do an abaondoned-style video of camp snoopy! super well done, you hit me right in the childhood-- plus it was fun learning about the bits I didn't know/understand as a kid! Fantastic job!
terra2su Thank you!! Glad you enjoyed it :D
The old footage really brings back a lot of memories
Wow the nostalgia! I remember a lot from "snoopy land" I was only 8 when it switched.. I remember riding the mystery mine ride back in the day! Forgot what it was called, Thanks for the great video!
If anybody wants to go and feel some pure nostalgia, the log ride hasn’t changed over the years… it’s just dusty af
I’ve been trying to find the Mystery Mine Ride movies on the internet but they just don’t seem to exist anywhere.
I thought I remember finding one of them once. There were some cool ones. A dinosaur one, space adventure, and like a Halloween themed one
I'm glad you mentioned the mine ride... I rode it like 20 times one day as a kid, was so fun!
Camp Snoopy was great I remember going there as a child and one of the times watching a snoopy show his ear fell off as they danced to Larger Than Life by The Backstreet Boys and that is when my sister fell in love with Snoopy. Camp Snoopy was a fantastic place that is surely missed and who remembers cereal adventure at MOA? That was another fantastic thing part of my childhood. I remember that they had a tube that would go around the entire park or mall filled with cereal and a playground type thing themed to cereal. It was awesome. I went to Nickelodeon Universe in 2010 and 2011 and I still enjoyed myself and loved it. The rides didn't change much just the theme. But what truly matters is people are still able to enjoy themselves. I can see why they did change the theme Nickelodeon is more popular now.
When MOA and Camp Snoopy opened in 92, the Peanuts characters had been dead for years. Nickelodeon had been around for a while at that point and Rugrats, Ren and Stimpy, and Doug all came out a year prior. No one gave a shit that the Peanuts were old, they still loved the rides. those characters were timeless.
I LOVED THE MYSTERY MINE RIDE! I loved the space ones around 1997. Alpha base I think. Just a great ride killed for no good reason.
Whew this brought back so many memories 🥺 thank you for covering this! I’m 31 and grew up in Minnesota and LOVED Camp Snoopy and hated when it changed to the park at MOA🙄
One of my favorite things about working at camp Snoopy was that we had two crews and one crew was the seasonal college crew that was there for the summer and the other crew was a college crew that was there year around. For example around Christmas the crew that was there year-round could go home to be with family while the seasonal crew came back for the holidays and worked for a few weeks or even a few days. They updated our schedules every semester and were super flexible for college students. We had fun employee parties. They had opportunities to earn Cedar point tickets. They gave us a lot of tickets to valley Fair. Definitely a great place to work well in college
At least they rebranded it instead of keeping it generic. I kinda get a kick out of it being Nickelodeon themed
Thank you. I am from Shakopee, Minnesota and I miss Camp Snoopy so much ♥️
Twin Cities born and raised. This bit of nostalgia hits me in the feels.
God, thank you for prophetic utterances, all throughout life, for wondrous things and blessings and laughter and love and lights. Thank you for money, thank you for food and thank for family and friends and passers by. Thank you for beauty in our heart of hearts in Jesus name. Amen 🙏 I pray for healing and health and happiness for everyone in Jesus name. Amen 🙏
So, I went there today. -3-28-19, it was awesome! But, I get sad seeing what has happened though, being in a park that has changed so much and left many memories. But it is still great being there.
Random Kid ay maybe I saw you
I remember going here this was one of my favorite part so nostalgic thanks for uploading
PS before they ruined it
Camp snoopy was going stale. No room for creativity. Things change.
Ok I'm taking a shot at alternate history. What if Camp Snoopy never rebranded? Could Cedar Fair have kept it's relationship with the Mall of America?
Something similar to that happened in the early 2000s Nickelodeon was in kings island kings dominion canadas wonderland etc in the 2010s cedar fair purchased the parks and Nickelodeon central became camp snoopy or planet snoopy
The Red Baron ride with the bi-planes and tri-planes WAS MY SHIT as a little kid. I have been going to the parks at MOA for most of my life. I have MANY fond memories of Camp Snoopy/Nickelodeon Universe. I just learned now from this video that Camp Snoopy bore the names Knott's and Cedar Fair. Did Tripe Five outsource the operations of the park to Cedar Fair when under the Camp Snoopy name?
I never went to Camp Snoopy, and I hate Nickelodeon, so this is a sad story for me. Nickelodeon doesn't even relate to Minnesota culture whatsoever. Sure, in general, Nickelodeon has a broader appeal and recognition, but I never understood why. I found many of their shows to be ridiculous and stupid. Like, Dora, the Loud House, Sponge Bob, etc.
My bestie Martha went here in 2002, when she was, like, 13. She rode the Screaming Yellow Eagle and the Mighty Axe, like, a crazy amount of times or something. I got to go to Nickelodeon Universe in, like, 2009 for some reason. It was totes fetch.
Also does anyone remember the name of the novelty store that was on the 3rd floor near the food court next to ledge that overlooked the park? I loved that store. Also there was an alien abduction attraction at the mall at the time that was cool.
Martha remembers the alien thing!!
@@YuukiTakemoto1996 nice! that place scared me as a kid
I remember going to this place when I was young
i was there opening day '92. i was 11.
That was just a well done video. Thank you so much for showing the history of Camp Snoopy. You should continue making videos like this. You have a natural talent for it.
Archimedes The Owl I definitely intend to! Thank you so much, that means so much and I’m glad you liked it :D
My wife had a job in the character department back in '94 or '95. Those were the people who dressed like Snoopy, Charlie Brown, Lucy, and eventually Linus when he was added. Fun fact: you had to be 5'3" or shorter to work in that department because of the design of the costumes.
Also: her first husband worked for Barr Engineering, the company the designed the log chute ride.
Super interesting! Log chute is one of my favorite rides of all time.
so sad I was never actually able to go this place but I grew up going to Nickelodeon universe
Do you have more footage of the speedway ride
also, the mystery mind ride was awesome!
Kite Eating Tree was THE BEST!
I’ve heard that there used to be a massive model train display in the Mall of America, does anyone know if this is true?
I remember going here so much haha. Hope you are doing well. Thanks for the nice video.
I didn't realize it's been Nickelodeon Universe for such a long time. Makes me feel old lmao.
Fantastic video
I remember going during the rebranding in 2006 was very sad all the peanuts stuff was on everything must go sale in the gift shop. I remember seeing that red barron plane without snoopy and being confused as I was only 7. Still dislike that nikolodeon crap they replaced it with
I can’t find any videos of jimmy newtron ride replaced with paw patrol I went to the moms right before it got replaced but i don’t remember
This is such a well done video! Thanks for sharing.
I will always believe that Camp Snoopy was the best but I will enjoy the park no matter what the theme is :)
9:36 why the angry face? do you hate this ride?
Brandon Montes Very much so, LOL
screw you that ride's great
I remember having my fingers pitched between the seats on the mystery mind ride lol
Camp snoopy was amazing. Nickelodeon Universe just feels so corporate and lame. RIP Charles Schulz, Minneapolis legend 🙏
At the mall at the mall America when it was still Camp Snoopy I went to like one or two times any of that but I was really little
What of the shooting gallery, or the log flume?
Camp snoopy still exists inside of Some Cedar Point parks. I’m confused why they ditched snoopy for Nickelodeon.
Love it Jer!
Cool video
How many Mall cops are there?
Thanks for making this video. This is great
Liked your video, Subbd your channel also, I am originally from Minneapolis and really enjoyed this
I got an idea for the 3rd episode, though this may not come true it’s the
“Tales of the Okefenokee” dark ride at six flags over Georgia form 1967 to 1980
If you could do that.
I used to hit the mine ride and the Bunyan flume like 10-15 times whenever I came with the wristband I loved camp snoopy fuck nickodean land
Thank you so much for this video. I don't think many kids would understand (and I can't blame them) why I would say that Nickelodeon Universe just isn't the same. I LOVED camp Snoopy. I had many favorite rides. As a kid I couldn't get enough of the big rigs (the truck ride)... I and another friend would ride in the cab and My Dad and her dad would ride on top 😆😆😆 As I got older I got into the roller coaster. I remember going on that mine ride when they had Indiana Jones. It was pretty awesome!
Does anyone remember the 3D theater on the bottom floor that was barely open?
Very slick man, keep it up
Omg i never heard abt this 😯😯I’ve always thought it was just Nickelodeon universe the entire time
sassy shamso Same and have you heard about the new Nickelodeon universe that just opened yesterday at the new dream mall in New Jersey
What kind of ride was Jimmy Neutron’s Atomic Collider?
It was a Zierer Hexentanz, which are supposedly pretty rare, and was apparently one of if not the very last one left in North America upon its departure.
@@whatdoyousuppose I rode it like two weeks before it was removed 😭😭
My youth 😢
Thanks for this!
this is crazy I never knew this
Camp snoopy is now the kid section in Carowinds
Snoopy land was the best.
They made a new Mall of America in New Jersey
I still call it the timerbland twister and no one ever knows what I’m talking about 😪
*when you find out they brought back the mystery mine* :D
The idea that Peanuts isnt relevant nowadays is depressing. Especially in the Creator's home state.
I'm going to camp snoopy in Knott's soon but I will be paying my respects
Peanuts will always be remembered, they are timeless.
R.I.P The mighty Axe!
I couldnt for the life of me remember if the mystery mine ride existed or not....THANK YOU
Hey but planet snoopy at valley fair sorta makes up for camp snoopy’s absence...
god this was a trip
RIP Mystery Mine Ride... oh god....
I also loved the Mystery Mine Ride. I remember the first one I saw was called "Red Rock Run" can't find anything online about it though lol
Brookdale mall !
Camp snoopy shut down before I was born
At night, the kite eating tree had luminescent kite tails.
What they could have done to rebrand it properly was to paint over the kites, strip the string lights tracing the kite tails, and to take the big yellow kite off the top. They really halfassed everything.
In my opinion it needs another new face lift a new rebranding and design
i would love to bring it back, it was so much more warm than nickelodeon.
it need to its beater now
Skip,slz
Good Lord,too melodramatic.
I didn't care for all of the stock footage. Most of it was out of focus. It's much better to go and do live video and narrate it yourself. The way you do it may take some time but it's lazy.
this is Defunctland rip off
You do realize the docuseries format isn't copyrighted, right? Defunctland is great, but Bright Sun Films' Abandoned was my inspiration for this anyways.
ok jeez i sorry
I was so scared of the axe ride as kid lol I'm glad I got to do it at least once before leaving Minnesota. The smell of log chute and the mini donuts when walking through the theme front of theme park was great I miss those good times...
I miss the north woods feel and flowing water from back in the camp snoopy days. Great video. Thanks for giving us one more glimpse of what once was.
the long cute lives!!! yay!!!
R.I.P.
Knott's Camp Snoopy
1992 - 2008
Went to Mall of America last week and although I mostly grew up with memories of Nickelodeon Universe, what I really miss is the American Girl doll store being on the edge of the park and visible from all the tall rides. 😢 It really added to the “it’s not a mall, it’s an experience” vibe with the doll hair salon and restaurant with doll tables. 😊❤
I understand they had to do what’s best for the mall and keeping up with the new generation. I grew up with the Nickelodeon theme but camp snoopy was my all time favorite. I would give anything to go back and revisit camp snoopy. I also would love to go back to see what the stores looked like. 😭❤️
Camp Snoopy was huge. When I was a kid, it felt like stepping into another world. One of the highlights of my childhood was when I was finally tall enough to ride the Ripsaw rollercoaster.
34, Minneapolis native. When I was a kid my friends and I would go just for the mystery mine ride, like go on it a dozen times in a row. Although I had aged out of it when the peanuts theme died, it broke my heart to see it change.
