Paramount is wasting no time in pushing the TMNT brand into even more corners of the entertainment industry. And now, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles could be on the verge of their first-ever major theme park attraction.While the TMNT franchise has long dominated everything from toy shelves to video game consoles to television sets and theater screens, it has yet to gain a meaningful foothold in the theme park industry. Previously, guests at Disney World’s then-Disney-MGM Studios enjoyed five years of a Ninja Turtles meet-and-greet street entertainment experience (on the then-known New York Street) between 1990 and 1995, the height of “Turtle-mania.”Credit: Tribute Games / DotemuNew TMNT-Themed Pizzeria and a Live Stage ShowNow, as part of a major initiative to roll out even more Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles content and experiences, which will include a YouTube miniseries, an untitled film reboot, and new books and novels, Paramount has already launched the franchise’s first-ever themed pizzeria in Los Angeles, which opened on Santa Monica’s Third Street Promenade in June, with two more set to open in Monterrey, Mexico and São Paulo later this year.Now, Paramount has officially announced that the heroes in a half-shell will be taking the stage next year in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Live on Stage!, to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the original 1987 cartoon series, which helped launch the so-called Turtle-mania.
