The Mall of America has opened a new stand-alone haunted attraction called
American Monsters: Onionhead's Revenge. Yes, the name Onionhead's Revenge is why I find this attraction to be "odd," but I guess if you understand the attraction's backstory it makes more sense:

"According to local legend, “Onionhead” is the cruel nickname forced upon a young man from Slidell, Louisiana, who was brutally murdered by a vigilante mob after being wrongly accused for the murder of a young woman. Consumed by rage, the assailants hacked his body into 13 pieces and scattered them in a nearby cemetery.
Swearing vengeance, his mother put a hex on the townspeople who took her son. In the months following, those responsible for Onionhead’s murder were each victims of gruesome deaths. Locals still report sightings of a monstrosity, hideously stitched together, stalking the cemetery… and out for revenge."

I guess that given that spooky story things check out, eh? The attraction's theming looks pretty impressive and so far it seems the addition is doing well. Operations will continue through Halloween, after which Onionhead will go back into hiding until another Halloween season rolls around. Also of note, the attraction at the Mall of America is not associated with the property's theme park, which carries a decidedly family theme.

And speaking of that, Nickelodeon Universe is
adding two new attractions in the coming months! Boots' Banana Swing can be seen above, a small children's ride that features a swinging motion which will open this Winter. The ride is already in operation at the Nickelodeon Universe in New Jersey, so you can get a real good idea of how the finished attraction will appear.

The park is also adding Fly With Appa, a family friendly circular flat ride. Appa is a character that comes from Avatar: The Last Airbender, and is a "glorious sky bison." I mean I've always wanted to ride on a sky bison, so this should be pretty neat! The new attraction will open in the Spring of 2024.
As a part of these new projects Nickelodeon Universe will also be relocating the Bubble Guppies Guppy Bubbler ride, which is an existing family ride.
