SpongeBob’s Splash Bash was the one of the first Mack Twist ‘n’ Splash rides to open in the world, and combines a spinning “tea cup” attraction with the Splash Battle rides that have become increasingly popular in recent years. As with all Splash Battles (such as Battle Galleons at Alton Towers), riders are equipped with water cannons to soak other boats and spectators on-shire. The circular boats rotate on their own axes, and float free on the water, but are otherwise part of a fairly typical tea cup ride.
