Synopsis[]

The ride begins with Painty the Pirate about to sing the theme song as usual, but he instead pops out of the painting and throws the riders into Bikini Bottom. The audience ends up in the Krusty Krab, where SpongeBob welcomes them and shows them how to make a Krabby Patty by pointing at the ingredients with his spatula. When preparing a Krabby Patty for Sandals, SpongeBob accidentally loses the last pickle he had. The pickle bounces away, then Patrick, on a pogo stick, steals it. SpongeBob, while confused at Patrick's apparent betrayal, sets out to rescue the pickle, bringing the riders along with him on his bubble bike.

SpongeBob rides out into town, wreaking havoc in the process, and eventually rides through Jellyfish Fields, where he is stung by a horde of jellyfish. Suddenly, SpongeBob falls into Rock Bottom, where a fish bites the bubble bike and pops it. The pop's force hurdles SpongeBob into the air, landing in the Chum Bucket.

It is revealed that the real Patrick was kidnapped by Plankton, who used a robotic Patrick called the Pat-Bot 3000 to steal the pickle. The robot pursues SpongeBob, only to be unplugged by Patrick, who is looking for an outlet for his toaster. Plankton is then crushed by his robot and SpongeBob recovers the pickle.

Sandals enters the Chum Bucket to eat his patty, but it turns out that he's allergic to pickles, causing him to swell up and explode. His head, eyes, and mouth land on his shoes and he runs out of the restaurant, at which SpongeBob laughs, ending the ride.

Errors[]

• Right before the camera crashes into the Krusty Krab, the order of the 122 Conch Street houses is wrong. Squidward's house is on the left, SpongeBob's house is on the middle, and Patrick's house is on the right, when usually, Patrick's house is on the left, Squidward's house is on the middle, and SpongeBob's house is on the right.
• Like many episodes, the Chum Bucket is not across the street from the Krusty Krab.
• When the camera crashes into the Krusty Krab, it ends up into the back of the kitchen, when it should have crashed into the dining room or the front of the kitchen because it was crashing through the front of the Krusty Krab, not the back.
• The Galley Grub reads "Krabby Pattie" instead of "Krabby Patty." It also reads "Krabby Conco" instead of "Krabby Combo."
• When SpongeBob leaves the Krusty Krab on the bubble bike, downtown is to the right of the Krusty Krab. However, in the beginning of the ride, Downtown Bikini Bottom is down an intersection, which to the left of the Krusty Krab.
