DreamWorks Animation has inked a licensing deal to bring its movie characters and storytelling to a planned amusement park in the New Jersey Meadowlands. The indoor theme park, about 10 miles west of New York City, would feature rides, attractions and a glass-enclosed wave pool incorporating characters from the studio’s films. DreamWorks Animation CEO Jeffrey Katzenberg confirmed the deal in a statement, first reported by the New York Times. It would be the first wholly themed DreamWorks park. DreamWorld, in Australia, features some DreamWorks characters but not exclusively. The planned project, near MetLife Stadium, has its challenges. The Jets and Giants sued to block construction last month, saying it threatens to clog the already-congested area on game days. Developer Triple Five said it hoped to open the park in 2014 but it’s unlikely it will happen in time for the Super Bowl being held at MetLife Stadium.


This is appropriate since Gov. Christie already reminds me of a cartoon character.
Maybe he could be Shrek’s ruder, more uncouth cousin.
Typecasting…
I wonder if Gov Crisco is now regretting killing the project to build a rail tunnel that would have created a single train line connecting NYC to the Meadowlands. Project will only work if they can create a mass transit plan. The highways around the Meadowlands already can’t deal with the amount to traffic “game days” generate.
Pardon me for not jumping with joy for this. I am one of unfortunate tax payers paying to subsidize the monstrosity and this is just another thing we are paying for. In NJ our property taxes would make people across the country cry. It is quite normal around these parts to have a middle class home (3 bed, 2 bath) in an average area, cost about 15,000 a year in property taxes. A lot of people paying taxes that high don’t even clear 100,000 a year as a family. Yet we are now footing the bill so they can have DreamWorks characters on their rides.
Screw Jersey and build it in Philly. More tax friendly.
I wonder if they’ll hire a 12 y/o boy to sit, fishing from the moon emblem at the entrance?
It would be great if there was a theme park
That had Shrek,Puss,Madagascar,Nemo and
Characters from DreamWorks
