/ themeparkstop A Bikini Bottom themed land was originally planned for Universal's newest theme park, but it was cancelled and replaced by Kung-Fu Panda instead. Here's the UnBuilt story of the SpongeBob SquarePants land we almost got.
A whole new theme park opening next summer, Universal Studios Beijing will feature seven themed lands. Some of these lands are ones we've seen before, like the Wizarding World, while others will be all-new, created just for this park, like the Kung-Fu Panda Land of Awesomeness. But, the plans for this park changed many times while in development. Instead of a land based on Po the Kung Fu Panda, it was going to be based on someone who lives in a pineapple under the sea.

Just put it in KidZone territory. The franchise never dies. Also, even if you don't like Spongebob or know nothing about it, the locations lend themselves easily to an immersive theme park land.

Agreed. It's been around long enough to span generations of fans at this point. Can't seem to go a day without seeing an internet meme using spongebob. Lol. And it's still been churning out new episodes and multiple films. I think it's very comparable to the Simpsons in a lot of ways and universal did a nice job with that "land" in the studios park. It's obviously much more relevant than Popeye and the like.

Okay the carousel being all bubble creatures is such a good idea. The boat ride for the driving school... Yes. And who doesn't want to try a Krabby Patty? They missed a huge opportunity. It's not too late though. Bulldoze the kid zone in Orlando and put SpongeBob there. Both kids and adults love it. Plus the SpongeBob store is already there. AND they don't have any water rides in that park. That's what they're missing!

i have drawn my own spongebob dark ride, in which you board a tour vehicle that looks like the bus vehicle from the show, then are taken under a real body of water that is held in place by a gungan hydrostatic field (if you don't know what it is, it keeps water out of the underwater gungan cities in star wars movies). however, the majority of the ride is not submerged in water, as there are animatronics which will not work in deep water unless you use the materials and movement method as the avatar in the cryochamber in the queue of avatar: flight of passage at disney's animal kingdom, which might not work.. anyway, the vehicle has a screen where things like the fish reporter are seen. i didn't draw all the ride's scenes, but i did draw one, in which a jellyfish stings spongebob
