on

From SpongeBob SquarePants to DORA, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles to Star Trek™ and PAW Patrol®, Nickelodeon Land and Nickelodeon Hotels & Resorts Antalya are set to become a playground of fun and adventure for all ages

LONDON, Nov. 12, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — On 15th January, 2025, The Land of Legends will open its doors to its newest attractions: Türkiye’s first Nickelodeon Land, and first and only Nickelodeon Hotels and Resorts in the country. With three brand-new, fun-filled areas, a new hotel and the chance to meet Nickelodeon characters, the new attractions will immerse guests in a Nickelodeon adventure.

The new Nickelodeon Land will open at The Land of Legends, Antalya, which is a one-stop shop full of adventure, offering guests of all ages the chance to experience dizzying heights, thrilling rides, and top-class entertainment all in one place, whatever their age.

The first Nickelodeon development in Türkiye marks a significant step forward for the Turkish tourism industry and The Land of Legends. The brand’s global significance means the new opening – earmarked for January 2025 – is a key project and investment for Türkiye. The collaboration between The Land of Legends and Paramount Global’s Nickelodeon, one of the world’s biggest entertainment brands, reflects the growth of the Turkish hospitality and entertainment industry.

NEW for 2025 – The Land of Legends Nickelodeon Land and Nickelodeon Hotel & Resorts Antalya
Opening 15th January 2025, Nickelodeon Land consists of three unique areas – the underwater Bikini Bottom from SpongeBob SquarePants, intergalactic Star Trek: Wild Galaxy, based on Star Trek: Prodigy, and the open-air Adventure Bay PAW Patrol. Across the new development, guests will experience thrilling experiences, from riding the giant Jellyfish Jam swing in Bikini Bottom, to experiencing an adventure through space in the Star Trek: Wild Galaxy 5D cinema and flying high in Skye’s Flyers helicopter-style ride.

At Nickelodeon Hotels & Resorts Antalya, each guest will live out their own legend and have the chance to expand and exercise their imagination with a range of interactive experiences with Nickelodeon friends, including the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Dora. As soon as guests check in to the new Nickelodeon Hotel & Resort, they’ll be treated to a feast for all the senses. Bright colour schemes, innovative designs and kid-friendly facilities will ensure each member of the family feels at home.

The hotel rooms have been specially designed in one of five concept themes – DORA, PAW Patrol, SpongeBob SquarePants, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Star Trek – continuing the fun-filled family adventures.

Younger guests will be amazed with an array of experiences, from Character Dining to Club Nick, where kids can play, learn and develop with their new friends. The outdoor pool area features an Aqua Tower, Spray Area and in true Nickelodeon style, a chance to be Slimed. Away from the fun and frolics, parents can find the time to switch off at Anjana Spa, which will offer holistic therapies, massages and traditional Turkish Hammam or let off steam in the hotel’s fully-equipped gym with yoga and Pilates studios.

The vibrant park experience begins at the iconic Chateau in The Land of Legends Shopping Avenue, the centre of nightly entertainment, where guests will mingle with their favourite Nickelodeon characters and shop for special mementos to remind them of their magical trip, from plushies to clothes, mugs, keyrings, toys and accessories.

About The Land of Legends
Designed for families, friends or couples who love adventure, adrenaline-inducing rollercoasters and creating unforgettable moments, The Land of Legends is perfectly placed for an action-packed thrill-seeking adventure, whilst being close enough to the beachside resort of Belek with sister properties, Rixos Premium Belek and Rixos Park Belek, for a day relaxing by the ocean.

The Land of Legends Theme Park offers holidaymakers an exciting adventure, whatever their age. With highlights including one of the world’s longest water slides, Turtle Coaster, the 62-metre-high Hyper Coaster and the legendary WaterMania, this is an adventure-seeker’s paradise.

The fun doesn’t stop when the sun goes down as guests enjoy nightly evening entertainment, with musical boat parades, leisurely experiences at Marinart, a choice of innovative restaurants and over 170 international shops. Away from white knuckle rides and exciting amusements, the expansive resort also boasts a 401-room hotel, complete with an award-winning spa, Turkish bath, and swimming pool for guests to truly relax after a fun-filled day.

About Kingdom Hotel
Situated in the holiday hotspot of Belek on the Turkish Riviera, lies Türkiye’s first and only kids concept hotel, Kingdom Hotel, located in The Land of Legends. Families here are front of mind; all hotel rooms have been specially designed for younger guests, from the vibrant décor to the removal of sharp corners and views of the rollercoasters from each balcony. And the best part of staying at The Kingdom Hotel is the proximity to the theme park, which is just a short stroll away.

This is a hotel with kid’s entertainment a number one priority; from PlayStations in every room, a sweet bar in the lobby, dance machines, air hockey, and dedicated PlayStation zone with gaming pods where they can play with their newfound friends – kids will be mesmerised from the moment they walk through the door.

In the main restaurant, children will be able to dine next to their parents but at their own dedicated table, which is at the perfect kid-friendly height and can enjoy special themed breakfasts with some of their favourite characters. Plus, with the hotel group’s ALL-IN concept, parents needn’t worry about any extra or hidden costs.

In addition, guests of The Land of Legends Kingdom Hotel can enjoy complimentary access to the facilities at Rixos Premium Belek hotel for one day during their stay, only a short drive away via complimentary shuttle, to enjoy the luxury spa and private Belek beach.

Virtual and in-person event, Bridging Basic Science and Liver Disease, brings together hundreds of leading biomedical scientists and physicians from across the globe 

FAIRFIELD, N.J., Nov. 14, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — American Liver Foundation is excited to host its 33rd annual Irwin M. Arias Symposium, Bridging Basic Science and Liver Disease, on Wednesday, November 20th from 9AM to 5PM ET. Hundreds of leading biomedical scientists and physicians around the world will come together for this prestigious hybrid, in-person and virtual, one-day event. Each presentation highlights remarkable scientific advances in basic biology and engineering while also providing cutting edge research for a better understanding of liver diseases and the best treatment options available today.

Bridging Basic Science & Liver Disease brings together leading biomedical scientists and physicians from across globe

This informative symposium features 10 unique plenary talks from renowned researchers such as Presidential Medal of Freedom recipient and physician-geneticist Francis S. Collins, MD, PhD, who led the Human Genome Project and discovered the genes causing several genetic diseases. He also served under three Presidents as the Director of the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH), the largest supporter of biomedical research in the world. He is currently leading a bold effort to eradicate Hepatitis C throughout the United States. Anne Carpenter, PhD, is the Senior Director of the Imaging Platform and an Institute Scientist at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard. She was included on the Top 100 list of AI leaders for her team’s open-source CellProfiler software that is used by thousands of biologists worldwide and their Cell Painting assay that has been adopted throughout the pharma industry to accelerate drug discoveries. There will also be a collection of three-minute ‘MicroTalks’ delivered by trainee scientists.

“This unique one-day annual symposium is a must-attend event for scientists interested in exploring innovative, groundbreaking research conducted in labs and the therapeutic treatments eventually delivered in clinics across the country,” said Lorraine Stiehl, CEO, American Liver Foundation. “Over the past 33 years, research presented at this event has led to many advances in the diagnosis and treatment of virtually all liver diseases in children and adults. Dr. Irwin M. Arias, recognized throughout the world, has devoted his life’s work to advancing liver disease research, treatments and cures and we’re so grateful for his expertise. Liver patients everywhere have benefited from his preeminent work.”

Symposium co-chairs include Sangeeta Bhatia, MD, PhD, John J. and Dorothy Wilson Professor, Electrical Engineering and Computer Science and Institute of Medical Engineering and Science Department at MIT, and Wolfram Goessling, MD, PhD, Chief of Gastroenterology at Massachusetts General Hospital, Director of the Harvard-MIT Health Sciences & Technology at Harvard Medical School and a Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School. The overall programming has been designed to honor Dr. Arias’ founding commitment to ‘bridging’ the gap between the academic, industrial, and clinical research communities – even across disciplines.

“The burden of chronic liver diseases affects over 100 million people in the United States alone and is rapidly becoming a public health crisis,” said Dr. Goessling, Chief of Gastroenterology at Massachusetts General Hospital. “Unfortunately, we currently lack effective tools for prevention, diagnosis and treatment for many liver conditions, so it’s vitally important to connect basic science research with the ongoing needs prevalent in many clinics and the Arias Symposium provides this opportunity.”

“Significant gaps remain in the understanding of many liver diseases and the fundamental systems involved in normal and pathological liver function,” said Dr. Bhatia, John J. and Dorothy Wilson Professor at MIT’s Institute of Medical Engineering and Science Department. “This scientific conference bridges basic science and liver disease while also nurturing successful careers in basic and translational liver research. The Arias Symposium allows us all to come together to share our research, encourage new trainees to learn more about liver disease and offers everyone one-day to learn what’s new and engaging in the world of liver research and science.”

The symposium is open to researchers at every stage of their careers, and they are encouraged to share perspectives from their academic, industrial, and clinical research settings. In-person attendees will benefit from a poster session and networking opportunities with plenary speakers and other attendees. Breakfast, lunch, and a networking reception will also be provided to in-person attendees. Registration is free for all trainees (postdocs, fellows, grads, students, undergrads, etc.). Registration is $50 for in-person attendees other than trainees. Virtual attendance is free but does require registration. Register here for this informative event.

This one-day virtual program will include topics such as:  

It’s Time to Eliminate Hepatitis C in the U.S. Francis Collins, MD, PhD – National Institutes of Health (VIRTUAL)Post-Transplant Alloimmune Hepatitis – What do we know and What’s New Udeme Ekong, MD, MPH, FAASLD – Georgetown University Detecting Liver Phenotypes and Toxicity Using Cell Image Data Anne Carpenter, PhD – Broad Institute of MIT and HarvardSpatial Clonal Tracing in Solid Tissues Fernando Camargo, PhD – Massachusetts Institute of TechnologyHolistic Multi-Scale Molecular Imaging of Human Organs Kwanghun Chung, PhD – Boston Children’s HospitalCell Identity Conversion – Liver Regeneration and Cell Therapy Lijian Hui, PhD – Shanghai Institutes for Biological SciencesDeveloping Cirrhosis Therapies: The Three Grand Challenges Quin Wills, MD, PhD – Ochre BioPediatric Liver Tumors: Clinical Context and Opportunities for Collaboration Allison O’Neill, MD – Dana-Farber Cancer InstituteUnderstanding How the Organism Monitors Liver Sufficiency to Properly Time RegenerationKristin Knouse, MD, PhD – Massachusetts Institute of TechnologyCellular and Molecular Drivers of Liver Cancer Response to ImmunotherapyMiriam Merad, MD, PhD – Mount Sinai School of Medicine
