 Attraction / Development News - (2/9/2025) According to the local news the American Dream mall in New Jersey has once again missed their semi-annual interest payment that was due on February 1st, 2025. As mentioned in previous reports, this is not the first time American Dream has failed to make payments, though apparently after several delays, the bank did receive a large payment finally in August 2024. Unfortunately that large payment apparently depleted the reserve accounts, and there was not enough to cover the new February 1st payment.
The future of the American Dream is unknown right now, as many have reported over the past year that a number of the amusement rides have also been closed down quite some time, including the park’s biggest coaster, TMNT Shellraiser, which has been sitting closed for over a year now with no sign of activity.
(10/3/2024) American Dream has added the Paw Patrol Hero Academy attraction, which serves as an expansion onto the existing Paw Patrol themed climbing structure. The experience includes Skye’s Helicopter, Fire Station, Police Station, and more.
(5/13/2024) Something new is set to open next month at the American Dream mall. According to the news reports the latest attraction will be called “The Game Room powered by Hasbro” and promises to be a fun arcade like experience with games themed to your favorite Hasbro games and IP, such as Monopoly, Hungry Hungry Hippos, Clue, Connect Four, G.I. Joe, Candyland, My Little Pony and more.
The arcade experience will be on a very large scale, clocking in at over 41,500 sqft, and will feature the Candyland Milkshake Bar.
(2/19/2023) According to a local news report a lawsuit has now been filed against American Dream for failing to pay anything towards “its loans or interest” on a loan for $300 million owing about $89,000 in interest at this time.
(2/5/2023) It sounds like the American Dream is still struggling a bit on the financial front. According to a posting, American Dream missed making an $8.8 million semi-annual interest payment on bonds used to build the project. It was also mentioned that an interest payment from last August was also missed.
2025 - Nothing is known if the attraction will have anything new to open this year or not.
