==Plot==
At night, while Max drives the Rustbucket, Ben and Gwen play table football in the back of the RV. Gwen flicks it into Ben's head, and celebrates her victory, declaring herself the "game master". Max tells her she'll love where they just pulled into, and excited, the two exit the Rustbucket. Initially happy upon seeing that they're at Adrenaland, Ben's mood dours upon finding out it is specifically Adrenaland Junior. Though Max is disappointed in himself for thinking he was "the cool grandpa", Gwen is ecstatic, since it means she can complete her Adrenaland pin collection. She runs into the amusement park, knocking over an employee in a police bear mascot costume. Max runs to get here, having not bought the tickets. Ben tries to convince himself it won't be so bad, and the three all arrive in the park. Ben and Max tell Gwen they're going to experience some of the rides, leaving Gwen to her own devices. She spots another employee in a bear costume, and tells him she wants a pin. He says he doesn't carry pins, but redirects her to an employee running a booth.
Meanwhile, Ben and Max ride a very slow rollercoaster, which plays patronizing messages over a speaker. Max asks Ben if he's having fun, but Ben tells him he was expecting more out of a ride. Max counters his argument, pointing out the younger kids having fun, but Ben says it's because they've never been on a good ride before. He decides to improve the ride, and slams down on the Omnitrix
At the booth, the employee introduces himself as Stewart. Gwen asks what she has to do to earn her pin, and he explains to her she just has to knock over the bottles behind him. She confidently chucks a ball at them, but completely misses them. Stewart gives her some encouragement, but she asks not to be patronized.
At the rollercoaster, Max tells Ben (as Diamondhead) to sit back down. Max tries to free himself from the ride, but he is stuck. Diamondhead goes along with his plan anyways, and uses his crystallokinetic abilities to terraform the ride. Max tells him to stop, since it isn't safe, but Diamondhead ignores him, speeding the ride up with the lever. After a successful ride, the passengers exit, some about to hurl. Diamondhead tells Max it was may more exciting, when all of the sudden, an employee walks up to him, telling him he can't alter the rides. She gives them a warning, and Diamondhead promises to stop. 
Max and Ben later ride on spinning cupcakes cups. Ben, however, transforms into XLR8 and runs around the cups, speeding them up far more. Later, he disturbs some guests on a safari ride, rising out of the water as Humungousaur. Max arrives in the next boat, glaring at him. As they exit the ride, Max scolds Ben for his behavior, giving him one last chance. The employee chimes in, also giving him a final warning. Max assures her he'll stop.
Meanwhile, at the booth, Gwen has still not succeeded in knocking down any of the bottles. She laments, but Stewart continues to encourage her.
At a ride dubbed the "Sock Tower", Ben and Max hang out in a pit of socks. Max uses one as a sock puppet, thanking him for listening to his grandpa. Behind them, the tower is covered in blue circuitry, causing panic. They notice the tower now swinging around two flails, and Max gets mad at Ben. Ben defends himself saying he didn't do anything, and upon one of the flails almost hitting some kids, he transforms into Shock Rock. Shock Rock hits away the flails and shocks the tower, reverting it back to normal. Max calls out to him, asking if he's alright. They hear more screams, and spot Kevin as Bootleg atop a Ferris Wheel, spinning it rapidly. He stops to taunt Ben and Max, calling them "Dweebyson" and "Dweebysenior". He makes fun of them for being at "the baby park", but Max and Ben can't hear him from the ground level. Max believes Kevin likes the park, and affirms it is cool. Ben correctly assumes he's here to cause trouble, and transoforms into Heatblast. 
Heatblast suggests Max gets people out of the park, which he agrees to do. Heatblast launches himself to the top of the Ferris Wheel and tackles Bootleg, landing on some rollercoaster tracks. He lands some more hits, prompting Bootleg to transform into Undertow. He creates whips out of water and tries to hit Heatblast, but misses. Heatblast taunts him, but is interrupted by the rollercoaster slowly passing by. Undertow resumes the fight, eventually throwing Heatblast onto a lily pad in a pool. A kid points out to him that he's on fire, suggesting he can help him. The kid pulls out a water gun, causing Heatblast to panic.
Meanwhile, Gwen iterates that the pin should be hers, since she's the game master. Put off, Stewart tries to end his shift, but she pressures him into staying
Back at the pool, Heatblast evades the kid's squirts of water. Undertow then leaps down onto another lily pad, and yells at heatblast, telling him to stop messing around. Heatblast questions what's up with him, but Undertow only says he doesn't know him, and retaliates with a wave of water. Heatblast gets the kid out of harm's way, and prepares to fight Undertow, only to find him missing. He tells Undertow to stop hiding, unaware that he's swimming below the water. He spots the top of his head, but Undertow dips below and attacks from behind with two streams of water. Heatblast attacks with a massive fireball, which Undertow counters with another massive wave. The two attacks collide.
At the booth, Gwen prepares a shot. She throws it, and both her and Stewart anticipate it hitting the bottles. At the last second, the booth is hit by Undertow's water, knocking the ball out of the air. Depressed, Gwen stands solemnly as Heatblast and Undertow continue to trade attacks. They both stand atop a lily pad each, and launch themselves at each other, yelling their opposition's name. Gwen then yells Ben's name, and the two time out in mid-air., landing in the water. They see Gwen, furious at them. She yells at them for not letting her get her pin. She then questions Kevin's motivations, given he usually targets Ben.
In a flashback, Kevin is seen walking down the hallway of his school, where he overhears someone talking about having gone to Adrenaland. At his home, he sees an ad on TV for Adrenaland, watched by his father. His father then changes the channel to an advertisement for a beverage dubbed "beverage", the "last beverage [he'll] ever need". Kevin walks upstairs. He explains to Ben and Gwen that he never got to go to Adrenaland. Ben pulls himself and Kevin out of the water, taking him and Gwen to the rollercoaster he had modified.
Once they get off the ride, Gwen announces she has a pin to win. However, the trio are stopped by Stewart and the police bear employee. Using teddy bears as batons, they force Ben, Gwen and Kevin out of the park. Max waits for them at the Rustbucket, where they then find out they are all banned from Adrenaland. Gwen receives the banned pin, which she cherishes. Kevin says he thinks the park's only for dweebs, which Ben retorts with a picture of Kevin having fun on the rollercoaster. Embarrassed, Kevin grabs the photo and crumples it, before walking off. Saddened, Gwen tells Ben she thought they got through to him. Ben thinks they did, and Max tells the duo to come along. Gwen looks back at Kevin as he walks away, before joining her family. Once the Rustbucket leaves, Kevin uncrumples the photo, and smiles.
