This winter, the Las Vegas resort will add the interactive SpongeBob SquarePants ride, created by Sally Dark Rides, that combines special effects, animatronics, and vivid integrated projections to fully submerse riders in considerable nautical nonsense.
The Circus Circus Las Vegas resort has announced that it will add a new SpongeBob SquarePants Dark Ride this winter. Created by Sally Dark Rides and inspired by the hit Nickelodeon animated series, the new $6 million interactive amusement ride, “SpongeBob’s Crazy Carnival Ride,” sends guests through seafloor scenes brought to life through vibrant sets, special effects, animatronics, and vivid integrated projections, fully submersing riders in the nautical nonsense of SpongeBob SquarePants.
With five people seated per vehicle, the ride begins with Mr. Krabs inviting guests to try their luck at his collection of zany ride-through carnival midway games. Then, his arch-rival Plankton hatches an evil plan to steal the “Krabby Patty” secret formula once and for all, sending guests through the sensory-engaging journey into SpongeBob’s world.
“We are thrilled to add the globally recognized characters of SpongeBob SquarePants to Circus Circus,” said Shana Gerety, Senior Vice President of Operations, Circus Circus. “Guests from all over the world will love how the over-the-top optimism and humor that SpongeBob SquarePants embodies is integrated in this exciting new attraction.”
Marie Marks, SVP, Themed Entertainment, Paramount said, “We couldn’t be more excited about our collaboration with Circus Circus Las Vegas to bring the first ever interactive SpongeBob SquarePants dark ride to life.”
