More About This Ride
Ride Restrictions:
Minimum height restriction:   42 in.

Features:
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.

You WILL get soaked, there's no way around it. Don't go on this ride unless you are ok with walking around for the rest of the day dripping water. You may as well just jump in, that's how wet you're going to get.

You get soaked, but it's the best raft ride ever.

This is the single most fantastic, and soaking rapids ride ever concieved. I love it. The theming ins a blast, and the ride gets everyone soaked. Five stars is definitely appropriate.
