Sally Dark Rides has celebrated the opening of its newest interactive adventure SpongeBob’s Crazy Carnival Ride. The zany underwater world of SpongeBob SquarePants and his friends has come to life at the family-favourite resort Circus Circus Las Vegas in Las Vegas, Nevada.

The themed-interactive ride stars SpongeBob SquarePants and friends, and features ‘zany antics, competitive game play and hi-jinks from the characters of the Nickelodeon series.

Riders are immersed in the world of Bikini Bottom, complete with themed sets, special effects and vivid integrated projections.

The fully interactive new ride includes six of Sally’s animatronics, bringing the iconic SpongeBob characters to life in a whole new way.  

“We’re so proud to be here,” said John Wood, president of Sally Dark Rides. “This incredible project has excited our entire team from day one. We thank Circus Circus, Nickelodeon and Paramount for trusting us to create this original tale with SpongeBob SquarePants, Mr Krabs, Patrick and their friends. 

“Sally is known for bringing beloved brands to life and it’s been an honour to develop an entirely new experience with these lovable and silly cast of characters.” 

Throughout the interactive attraction, Mr Krabs invites riders to try their luck at a collection of midway games as they move through his new money-making carnival. SpongeBob and Patrick, who are trying to assist him, accidentally grab boxes of Krabby Patty ingredients instead of the carnival game equipment.  The devious Plankton sees an opportunity to steal the ‘Krabby Patty’ recipe and the result is a hilarious experience for guests of all ages.

  SpongeBob’s Crazy Carnival Ride is Sally’s first new ride opening in 2024. Later in the year, Sally is set to debut a second SpongeBob-themed ride at Land of Legends Theme Park in Turkey.
