Get ready to save Olive Oyl from that rotten scoundrel Bluto. Watch out for all the rapids, you just might get wet!

Beware you will get absolutely soaked on this ride, you will also laugh more than you have ever laughed before. This ride is is hilarious and you will have an amazing time, especially on a red hot day. You will get absolutely drenched when on Popeye & Bluto's Bilge-Rat Barges. There's no way to avoid the water and a poncho won't save you.

Despite it being a traditional raft ride, the theming is excellent. Universal have done a great job on the cartoon feel of the ride.

This ride is full on fun and worth getting soaked for, just maybe bring a spare set of clothes with you.
