Popeye & Bluto's Bilge-Rat Barges

 

Bluto's swiped Olive Oyl and Popeye's getting steamed. There's outrageous chaos in store for everyone when you hop aboard Popeye and Bluto's Rat Barges on a marine misadventure that takes you through the unmistakably wacky portwater town of Sweethaven.

A bumping, churning, twisting, turning white-water raft ride. Before the whirling is over, the raft and all 12 of its occupants, have been squirted with water by guests firing from water cannons aboard Popeye’s Boat, spun into an Octopus Grotto where they encounter an 18-foot tall, 14-foot wide creature with five 10 – 12 foot long tentacles bulging with water, and whirled into a fully operational boat wash, where they may become completely soaked.

"this ride was very fun.I rreally reccomend this. When you read the warning signs and reviews that say You may get wet do not trust them. You will get soaked!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is a ride tht I would really credit the design for. the lift hill was really fun.I loved this ride so much that I went back to it that night in 50 degree weather.I did not use express pass because the wait was 5 minutes ( it was a school day) My rating for this ride is a (1-10) 25!!!" (3/05)

"This was one of the best water rides by far. It is so fun and you totally get soaked. There was only like a 1 minute wait for me to get on so that was awesome. This ride can make even my grandfather be silly and laughing. It really is a great ride. Put on a water resistent jacket or something if you dont want to get wet. Or else every part of your body is soaked and that is not a lie. This really is a great attraction and really fun. I wish that i would of had enough time to go on it 2 times." (11/04) Kell
