Two of the roller coasters will be record-breaking, according to a press release from American Dream. The coasters are being developed by Gerstlauer.

“We have worked on many projects, but this will be unlike anything we have ever designed. Visitors to Nickelodeon Universe at American Dream are in for a great ride,” Managing Director of Gerstlauer Amusement Ride Siegfried Gerstlauer said.

The 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Shellraise' will set a record for the steepest roller coaster while a 'The Shredder' will hold titles for the world’s tallest and longest free spinning roller, NJ.com reports.
