Nickelodeon’s Takotown: Fright Express Takes Families on a Frightfully Good Halloween Ride

-------------------------------------------------------------



On the spookiest day of the year, kids and family entertainment brand, Nickelodeon, took everyone on the ride of their lives aboard the Takotown: Fright Express — a one-of-a-kind Halloween experience held at SM Megamall Megatrade Hall where over 4,000 fans were treated to an afternoon packed with frightfully-fun tricks and treats, surprises and activities, with the highlight being the Spook Station’s Terror Tour.

The perfect trick or treat activity for kids (and the young at heart), Nickelodeon’s Takotown: Fright Express turned a usually scary Halloween extravaganza into an epic celebration, the Nickelodeon way. And with the Spook Station’s unique and thematic areas, the haunted main attraction offered an unforgettable experience to families.

The Terror Tour took guests on an exciting and interactive travel experience inside the SM Megamall Megatrade Hall. With four special train stops, kids departed for a journey to the Haunted Mansion, where they saw old, creepy-looking picture frames that had real-life costume characters do the scaring.

Along the Cemetery area, passengers weaved through cobwebs and encountered white ladies and ghosts, with skeletons all over the place, while floating coffins swarmed one of the train stops. Filled with spooky trees and a strange abandoned cabin, the Scary Jungle stop left guests screaming and asking for more.

At the opening of Takotown, attendees were treated to an exclusive screening of Nickelodeon’s newest shows—School of Rock and Regal Academy. Live-action show School of Rock, based on a group of overachieving prep school students who band together and learn how to rock it out, was a hit. Regal Academy showed a hilarious and an exciting new take on some of the best-loved fairy tales, which focused on the adventures of Rose Cinderella, the newest student at Regal Academy.

A special activity area was also in-store for the thousands of Takotown fans. Apart from the Spook Station’s Terror Tour, guests also took part in Nickelodeon-inspired stage games, patterned after some of the brand’s well-loved shows, such as The Loud House, and The Fairly OddParents, for a memorable Halloween experience.

To complete the visit to Takotown, some of Nickelodeon’s famous characters, like Bikini Bottom’s SpongeBob SquarePants and Patrick Star, as well as PAW Patrol’s Chase and Marshall, also made special appearances and delighted event-goers.

Indeed, at Nickelodeon’s Takotown: Fright Express, Halloween is not just about giving a good scare but celebrating a thrilling season of spooking. To learn more about Nickelodeon’s shows and events, visit the official site at nick-asia.com.
