Destruction
- In "The String," the island was destroyed when SpongeBob unraveled all of Bikini Bottom and the Milky Way with the string.
Trivia
- The episode "Mrs. Puff, You're Fired" includes the footage from "No Weenies Allowed" where SpongeBob is flung out of the water and back in again.
- Bikini Atoll was an island that was used for nuclear bomb testing in the 40s and 50s.
- Starting with "Lame and Fortune," a CGI model of the island is used instead of the filmed island.[2]
- This is because the original model island is buried somewhere deep within the Stephen Hillenburg Storage Facility, where he rents to pile things that he doesn't have room for in his house.
- When the island is shown at night, a human finger is visible in the water to portray a reflection of the moon. According to the "Christmas Who?" audio commentary, Stephen Hillenburg filmed the Bikini Atoll island at Steve Belfer's house in his friend's pool in California[3].
