Circus Circus Announces ‘SpongeBob SquarePants’ Dark Ride

Circus Circus Las Vegas, a family resort, has announced a new “SpongeBob SquarePants” Dark Ride will be added to the property and operational this winter. Created by Sally Dark Rides and inspired by the Nickelodeon animated series, the new $6 million amusement ride named SpongeBob’s Crazy Carnival Ride will be an interactive attraction sending guests through seafloor scenes brought to life through vibrant sets, special effects, animatronics and vivid integrated projections, fully submersing riders in the world of “SpongeBob SquarePants.”  

The ride starts when Mr. Krabs invites guests to try their luck at his collection of ride-through carnival midway games, and his arch-rival Plankton hatches an evil plan to steal the Krabby Patty secret formula. With five people seated per vehicle, guests can experience the sensory-engaging journey through SpongeBob’s world.  

“We are thrilled to add the globally recognized characters of ‘SpongeBob SquarePants ‘to Circus Circus,” says 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.” 

“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,” says Marie Marks, senior vice president, themed entertainment, Paramount.
