Ride Description: As the Splat Karts pull away from the loading area, they move closer as they drive through a gate labeled “Hammerhead Arena”. They head down a metal hallway as a monitor turns on, with Pearl and Marina on it. They eagerly announce, “This is it! The colors will clash, as we find out what’s the better amusement park ride! Let’s hear them scream, ‘cause it’s time for a Splatfest!”. With that, the vehicles hang to the left and enter the arena.

The first portion of the arena is modeled after the Urchin Underpass, as the vehicles navigate around railings and grate walls on straightaways with light turns. At several points are walls and slopes that riders can paint over, adding points to their team’s side. There is not much danger here, except from your opponents trying to shoot your Kart’s Ink Regulator (a squid-like orb up over the back row of the Kart) and spin you out. You’ll still be moving forward, but spinning out will throw off your ability to aim. A few Inklings will appear and might send your Kart spinning, unless you shoot them first and stop them. Over the speakers, riders can hear Marina say, “Good work, but let’s add just a little more competition."

Leaving the walls of the Underpass, riders enter a more constrained space inspired by the Sturgeon Shipyard. Plenty of sharp turns will take riders around the girders and walls that offer the painting opportunities for them here, but the more constrained space offers plenty of traps. Splat Bombs can offer additional points if they’re painted before they “explode” and send riders into a spin, while Inklings armed with Splatterscopes hide out on platforms above as they paint and strike. Eventually, both vehicles find themselves facing a cackling Inkling who preps a Killer Wail. If its target points are painted over in time, the powerful weapon is stopped and the scoring team gets a solid point bonus. If not, the Killer Wail blares and both Karts are sent spinning. Taking a swing to the right, riders hear Pearl call out, “This fair play is BORING! It’s the final round! Let’s drift Karts and splatter ink!”.

Both Karts split away from Judd, heading down their own hallways. If the blue team wins, they hear Marina say, “Yay! Dark rides always know how to tell a story, and you guys told a winning tale out there”, while a loss has her saying, “Oh, well. At least the dark rides get us out the heat”. If the red team wins, they hear Pearl say, “Boo-YAH! Coasters are awesome, and we sent those fools in a loop de loop!”, while a loss has her saying, “What was that?! I had more thrills out on the kiddy coaster than what I saw out there!”. In any case, after the respective quote, riders hear them say, “Thanks for playing! Remember: don’t get cooked…stay off the hook!” as the vehicles leave their hallways and pull up to the unloading area. Departing guests will head up a flight of stairs, bringing them down a hallway into Shell Surplus.

Ride Description: Hopping aboard their Battle Barge, riders move past a platform with an open sewer manhole. Agent 3 stands next to the manhole, giving riders a thumbs-up as they sail past. They emerge from the boathouse, and enter the Manta Marina Channel on a lift. It all seems quiet…too quiet. Then, Tentakooks pop up from their hiding place. “This Marina’s our territory now!,” they call out, as pipes along the lift’s sides start to burst water upward. At the lift’s top, an Octocommander trains his gatling gun on riders as he calls out, “Saddle up, boys! Inkling goons ahoy!”. Before he can fire on them, they reach the top and drop into the raging rapids, making a quick right.

Sailing past a waiting ship, riders drift along a series of harbor platforms, where Octotroopers open fire with water on riders as they head down the straightaway. An Octotrooper operating a control panel sends riders sailing to the left on a snaking path, with the raging waters and guide walls making big waves to splash the riders. Eventually, they drift along a wide circle around the Octostopper, which resembles a big stopper with an octopus tentacle poking out the top. Sides of the Octostopper are covered in green ink splotches, while Agent 3 stands atop as he sprays the octopus tentacle with his Splat Dualies. Geysers of water occasionally burst around the Octostopper, soaking any unlucky riders as they make the circle around it.

Taking a left as you reach the top of the lift, the waters rage as the Battle Barge gets sent roaring down a snaking path of turns. Weaving around ruined ships and through old boathouses, rough waves splash riders left and right. A quick pass through one such boathouse briefly reveals Agent 3 standing over an ink-covered DJ Octavio, as riders come to one final lift. However, the waters pouring from its top bring riders into a gentler cruise. They ride along an oval-shaped path, around an island where DJ Octavio angrily sits inside a snowglobe prison. Agent 3 gives riders a thumbs-up as they sail back towards the Manta Marina Interior Dock. Before they enter, Cap’n Cuttlefish stands on a dock platform to say, “Great work, buckos! You really stopped those octojerks!,” as they pass, while a leaky pipe over the Interior Dock entrance gives one last soak for riders before they reach the loading and unloading dock.
