SpongeBob SquarePants Rock Bottom Plunge is a roller coaster located at Nickelodeon Universe in the Mall of America, Bloomington, Minnesota. It is the shortest Gerstlauer roller coaster to date, standing only 67 feet tall; yet it has a 97 degree drop. Rock Bottom Plunge was part of the park's expansion, new theming, and new name: Nickelodeon Universe. It is the first roller coaster themed to SpongeBob SquarePants. The ride is based on the SpongeBob episode "Rock Bottom" (from season 1) and features a prominently placed statue of SpongeBob and Patrick riding an orange bus down a 90 degree angle while holding a rubber glove over his head.
