A familiar Nickelodeon character is getting a fresh new look just in time for opening day.
Universal Kids Resort has revealed that Sandy Cheeks from SpongeBob SquarePants will debut an all-new outfit when the park officially opens on July 1, 2026.
According to reports from @SpeculationMatt on X, the new look will replace the hula-inspired costume that many longtime Nickelodeon fans may recognize from Sandy’s appearances at various Nickelodeon attractions over the years.
While Sandy’s classic hula outfit has become a staple of her character appearances at Nickelodeon destinations, Universal Kids Resort is introducing an updated costume specifically for the new family-focused park.
The refreshed look keeps Sandy’s recognizable personality front and center while giving the beloved squirrel a new style for guests visiting Universal Kids Resort beginning on opening day.
