What Orlando Informer has to say about it: "What you wish you knew before you experienced it
YOU WILL GET SOAKED."
Ain't that the truth.
Where do I even start? This is such a great ride to go on, especially in Florida's HOT weather. Seriously.
I think it's a very family / group oriented ride because one little "circular boat" can carry a lot of people.
SO even if you are on a field trip with your school, you should go on this !
This is by far the best ride for a few reasons. First, water rides in Florida heat are always a plus and believe me, you will get soaked no matter where on the ride you are sitting. Second, it has a place for you to shoot water at fellow parkgoers. Third, and probably most importantly, it is long and feels long. When you come to a curve on some rides, you can tell it's going to end soon and undoubtedly you get a pang of sadness in your gut (and maybe a little anger that you might have to wait in a long line to ride it again). With Popeye & Bluto's, you turn a corner, feel that pang, and then the ride keeps going! It definitely is the best water ride I've ever been on.
Popeye and Bluto's Bilge-Rat Barges are "THE BEST" White Water Ride. I have been to many Theme Parks across this country and Islands of Adventure's Popeye and Bluto's is without doubt Superior! No matter where you sit, you will get drenched. It is a great family ride. We wear our bathing suits and sandals and look forward to making family memories. We take a 'water proof' camera and get amazing pictures to document each ride. We usually ride about 5 or 6 times because each ride is unique. Popeye and Bluto is a Must Ride from now through September. Have Fun - Get Wet !!
