Circus Circus Las Vegas has announced plans to unveil its brand-new SpongeBob SquarePants-themed Dark Ride on March 1.

The $6 million "SpongeBob's Crazy Carnival Ride" attraction was created by Sally Dark Rides and inspired by Nickelodeon's hit animated series.

According to the family-friendly Vegas hotel, the immersive ride will utilize vibrant sets, special effects, animatronics and vivid integrated projections to bring Bikini Bottom and its characters to life.

SpongeBob's Crazy Carnival Ride begins when Mr. Krabs invites guests to play his ride-through carnival midway games, prompting his enemy Plankton to devise an evil plan to steal the Krabby Patty secret formula.

Each vehicle seats five people, each of whom will experience the sensory-engaging journey through SpongeBob's world.

"We are thrilled to add the globally recognized characters of SpongeBob SquarePants to Circus Circus," the hotel's senior vice president of operations, Shana Gerety said in a statement. "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."

In addition to SpongeBob's Crazy Carnival Ride, families visiting Las Vegas and staying at Circus Circus can look forward to kid-friendly attractions such as rock climbing, video games and water slides at The Adventuredome, Midway and Splash Zone.
