When Bond and I stopped by Nickelodeon Universe the night before when we got into town I had such an Old Chicago flashback.  Old Chicago was the prototype indoor mall/amusement park.  The thing is they didn't do it right.  The mall had no anchor stores to draw people to it.  The park was basically a concrete box that was pretty unappealing to look at and they didn't have skylights like this so you could enjoy the sun on your face as you ride a coaster even with the temperature in the single digits outside.



The next stop for us and coaster #53 for Bond was the Pepsi Orange Streak.



I have no idea why it's called the "Orange Streak" and what Pepsi has to do with it other than sponsoring it.



Even with the weird name it's still a really fun coaster.  It's actually a massively long ride that takes you all over and above Nickelodeon Universe.
