Written by Austin Hess Readers' rating:
This possibly has the best theming of all the rapids rides. From the moment you hear the "Sailors Hornpipe" you know you are in for an experience that requires you to have eaten at least one can of spinach. Popeye, Olive and the evil Bluto don't disappoint as you twist and turn in a foaming fury. Water and getting soaked is what this is all about and you get that in abundance. Even non-riders get in on the act as their quarters feed the hungry water cannon in two different areas. Three letters sum up Bilge Rat Barges.They are F , U and N. - Rob P Really good my favorite rapids ride in the world its awosome you get soaked. - Giovanny Cruz The wettest water ride ever dreamt into reality. Great setting, atmosphere,theme, and the water tempature is CHILLINGLY perfect on a hot day. 10/10 - Dan Huffman Greatest raft ride at a theme park anywhere in the world. You are guaranteed to get soaked right through no matter where you sit. This ride is much longer than Kali River Rapids at WDW's Animal Kingdom and the Popeye themeing is great. Watch out for the big drop towards the end of the ride, if you're not drenched by then, you will be! 10/10 - Ben Price I dislike this one greatly! I might as well just go swimming. Wrecked my shoes and it was just depressing. 2/10 - D H One of the best rides at the park and you will not get wet but you will get absolutely drenched a drop would not go amiss but still a amazing ride and a must see - Jack Ainslie 10/10!!! This is my absolutely my favorite ride! Be prepared to not be able to find a dry spot on your clothes. Soaked is an understatement! Even with ponchos you will get wet. FUN FUN FUN!!! A must do on a hot day! Great for the whole family! Bring flip flops to change into so that you aren't in wet shoes the rest of the day. Again a 10/10! :) - Bob Liebe I love this ride best raft ride on earth short but you will get drenched that's it not soaked drenched - Manny Rodriguez More attraction and restaurant ratings:
