TMNT Shellraiser (green track) with other coasters, including Shredder (purple track, teal supports) Once the car is released from the top of the hill, it enters a dive loop, an inline loop, and an Immelmann loop, before hitting the final brake run and returning to the station. Once at the top, the car is held by a brake before entering the 121.5°, 138-foot (42 m) beyond-vertical drop. The train ascends onto a set of block brakes, slowing the train down before it makes a U-turn to the right and ascends the 141-foot (43 m) vertical chain lift hill. Immediately afterward, the coaster enters a banana roll inversion, a second corkscrew, and an airtime hill. TMNT Shellraiser ascends from the launched track section into a 125-foot (38 m) tall corkscrew. Afterward, it is propelled by linear motors from a standstill to 62.1 miles per hour (99.9 km/h) in two seconds. It leaves the station and then immediately entering a slow heartline roll. TMNT Shellraiser is located entirely inside the structure of American Dream Meadowlands. The ride was temporarily closed after its soft opening because it did not have a permit to operate. TMNT Shellraiser soft-opened October 25, 2019, as part of the opening of the first attractions at Nickelodeon Universe in American Dream Meadowlands. At that point, construction on the coaster was well underway. The names for TMNT Shellraiser and three other coasters were first announced by Nickelodeon Universe representatives at American Coaster Enthusiasts' February 2019 "EastCoaster" summit. Vertical construction of the attraction officially began in early 2018. According to the mall's attractions director, Jeff Davis, the Euro-Fighter design was chosen because it would "break a world record to claim the steepest coaster in the world", and that he "anticipate up to 50 percent" of residents in the New York metropolitan area to ride the coaster.
Details about the park's coasters, including a Gerstlauer Euro-Fighter with the world's steepest drop, were revealed in December 2017. In September 2016, officials at the long-delayed American Dream Meadowlands shopping mall announced that the Nickelodeon Universe theme park would be built inside the mall. TMNT Shellraiser has the exact same layout as Takabisha at Fuji-Q Highland in Japan, the previous record holder for world's steepest roller coaster. It is the steepest roller coaster in the world with a vertical drop of 121.5 degrees. The roller coaster is a Euro-Fighter model manufactured by Gerstlauer, and themed to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (TMNT). TMNT Shellraiser is a steel indoor roller coaster at Nickelodeon Universe amusement park, within the American Dream Meadowlands shopping and entertainment complex, at the Meadowlands Sports Complex in East Rutherford, New Jersey, United States. Riders are arranged 4 across in 2 rows for a total of 8 riders per train.
