I took my family to the new Nickelodeon Land in Turkey with rides and character meets – here's how to get free entry
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) WHO lives in a pineapple under the sea? Not SpongeBob SquarePants any more. The yellow cartoon character has a new home on Turkey's southern coast at the impressive Land Of Legends theme park. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 5 The fab new Nickelodeon Land in Turkey 5 Have endless fun at Antalya's Nickelodeon Hotel Credit: Supplied 5 Unwind in style at the Rixos Premium Belek Credit: Supplied He's brought along all his pals to its new Nickelodeon Land — and I was one of the first there to check them out. The themed area neighbours Adventure Land and the exotic Aqua Land in the vast entertainment complex in Antalya. Nickelodeon Land consists of three areas — the underwater Bikini Bottom from SpongeBob SquarePants; intergalactic Star Trek: Wild Galaxy, based on Star Trek: Prodigy; and the open-air Adventure Bay from PAW Patrol. And just steps away is a plush new Nickelodeon hotel, featuring 238 themed bedrooms and its own waterpark-like outdoor pool where you can get 'slimed' for real, Nickelodeon style. Sounds totally retro, right? There's a definite nod to the nostalgia of 90s Nickelodeon. Think Rugrats and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, as well as little ones' modern favourites, such as Chase from Paw Patrol, Dora The Explorer and Nickelodeon's cartoon reboot of Star Trek. I got stuck into the action at Bikini Bottom, my favourite area, which transports visitors to a neon, SpongeBob-themed underwater landscape. The standout attraction is the Fiery Fist O'Fun, a reference to a classic SpongeBob episode. The ride is like a ferris wheel on steroids, fast-paced enough to make your stomach drop — in the best way. But if that is not your style, take a spin on the Jellyfish Jam swings. New Nickelodeon land to open in Brit-loved holiday hotspot next year - with Paw Patrol rides and Spongebob attractions Or you can pootle around the land in overhead blimps, dubbed Sandy's Rockets. Plankton's Plunge is another must for thrill-seekers. As the name suggests, it drops you from a squeamishly scary height. Then there's the Crazy Carnival Ride, where you can battle against your family in a virtual shoot-out. Aside from the rides, my highlight had to be meeting the chipper yellow sponge himself. At various points in the day, each of the characters pop up for meet-and-greet sessions, so you can snap a picture with Squidward or pose with Patrick. Giant pineapple Meanwhile, Chase and the gang from Paw Patrol can be found hanging out at Adventure Bay, where rides are aimed at the littlest of adventurers. It's not just about the kids, though. There's plenty of spaces that even Mum and Dad will enjoy. The Snick Lounge, a games room and sports bar, hosts live music where you can bop away while enjoying a tasty cocktail. For a proper place to unwind, head to the luscious Anjana Spa which is worlds away from the neon orange and splat motifs that adorn the rest of the hotel floors above. Although, you may spot SpongeBob in subtle murals dotted around the space, donning his very own robe and head towel, or striking a yoga pose. There are even more character nods across the main Nickelodeon Hotel, where the rooms are as comfortable as they are vibrant. 5 Wild Galaxy is out of this world 5 Emily Downes meets SpongeBob at the new theme park Each floor is themed around a character — think jungle motifs for Dora The Explorer and industrial pipes for the adventures of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. If all the Nickelodeon colours get too much, though, hotel guests can enjoy free transfers to Rixos Premium Belek, a sister hotel down the road that has its own private beach as well as pools, restaurants and bars. Likewise, any guests staying at a Rixos property in Antalya can enjoy free and unlimited access to The Land Of Legends, including the new Nickelodeon Land, during their stay. I was staying in a SpongeBob suite where a giant pineapple housed all the drinks and snacks I could dream of. After a tiring day on the roller-coasters, I would sink into the plush bedding and unwind with the TV (which, of course, has access to all your favourite Nick shows). Even SpongeBob would be impressed with this place.

Disney fans creeped out to learn where they've heard Lilo's voice before
A Lilo & Stitch voice star went on to appear in an iconic horror film, with the two films releasing in the same year and surprising fans of the much-loved family-friendly animated film Fans of the hit animated Disney film Lilo & Stitch are just realising one of its stars featured in a horror classic. The animated classic has just been remade by the studio into a live action feature film. Lilo & Stitch, first released in 2002, follows an alien called Stitch – who tries to impersonate a dog while in the care of Lilo. The voice of Lilo, Daveigh Chase, has stunned audiences though as they realise where they may have seen the star before. While neither Chase or Stitch voice actor Chris Sanders returned for the live action version of the film, some may recognise Lilo's voice star. Fans of the r/TodayILearned subreddit shared the roles Chase had also been cast in, including a horror classic and a film which catapulted actor Jake Gyllenhaal to fame. The user wrote: "Daveigh Chase, who was the voice of Lilo in Lilo & Stich, also played Samara, the creepy girl in The Ring." Fans were stunned to make the connection between the horror classic and the family-friendly animated film. One user joked: "One minute you're making friends with aliens, next minute you're crawling out of TVs. Iconic." Another user in a separate thread sharing the same information added: "The actress which interpreted the little sister of Donnie Darko (Daveigh Chase) was actually the same actress (grown-up) on the movie The Ring, a horror film where people who view a videotape are killed by a monster crawling out of their TV screens, received a sequel in 2017 which marks Chase's final on-screen appearance. Though her feature in the film is just archival footage, it marks her most recent role to date. She also starred in independent horror film Wild in Blue. Chase has not appeared in anything since, though also featured in the English dub of Studio Ghibli classic, Spirited Away, as well as deleted scenes of Steven Spielberg's A.I. Artificial Intelligence. Lilo & Stitch and The Ring released in 2002, with the family-friendly comedy about a space monster pretending to be a dog quite the contrast to a film where Chase portrays a ghoul trapped inside a television. Fans of Lilo & Stitch have since found her work in The Ring to be quite chilling. One wrote: "I knew there was a reason Lilo creeped me out. The Ring was the only movie to EVER give me nightmares." Another added: "I have to thank her for giving me those sleepless nights when I was young." A third wrote: "Should have been titled: TIL Donnie Darko's kid sister was the voice of Lilo & Stitch!" Chase also featured in the Donnie Darko sequel, S. Darko, which viewers are keen to forget. One wrote: "Wait a second, Donnie Darko had a sequel?" Another replied: "A s***y sequel, yeah."
