Created for Paramount and Sally Dark Rides, RMP had the pleasure of providing all pre-show and interactive media for Spongebob Crazy Carnival. Explore Bikini Bottom in this interactive dark ride features 7 interactive scenes where riders help Spongebob, Patrick and their friends to rescue the secret kabby patty recipe from the hands of Plankton.

Pre-Show

Consisting of 4 sections, the preshow takes you through the story of the ride where the evil Plankton is scheming to steal the secret Krabby pattie formula. Meanwhile, Mr Krabs employs Spongebob and Patrick to run a crazy carnival show.

Each section of the preshow has been produced by our team using characters from the movie “Spongebob: Sponge on the Run”. Each piece of pre-rendered media was developed under the guidelines of Nickelodeon’s Spongebob team.

Ride

The ride consists of 7 interactive scenes developed in Unity where our team developed each games to be a fine balance of fun yet challenging adventure. Featuring unique game mechanic for each scene, the games are always fresh, unique and rewarding with multiple Easter eggs featured in each scene.

The result is a ride that pleases family members of all ages, offering repeatability while not distracting from the fun narrative of this crazy carnival ride.

Adaptability

Adaptability became a critical factor during the production of these games. We knew from the start that these games had to strike a very subtle balance of fun and rewarding. With this in mind, our team developed solution where the game would adapt to the player behavior in each cart. For example, the more active players are detected in a cart, the harder the final level becomes. These solutions offer a ride that constantly adapts to its audience and never offers a dull moment.

These subtle adaptations are always hard to fine tune until the critical onsite phase. Knowing this, our team made sure to include all critical values in a special menu within the games, allowing our team to do live adjustments on site and fine tune these games to create the best possible gameplay in the shortest possible amount of time.
