- [HD] A Full ride-through of Popeye & Bluto's Bilge-Rat Barges white-water rapids Ride in Islands of Adventure at Universal Orlando. After riding the rapids several times over the course of several years, it seems that you will get SOAKED no matter where you sit on the ride.
This is an extremely wet ride, so be prepared to get SOAKED!
"Set sail for uncharted hilarity as you help Popeye the Sailor Man rescue Olive from the clutches of that big blowhard Bluto. Brave white-water rapids as this twisting, turning raft ride makes you wish you'd have brought your spinach... and a towel." - Universal Orlando website
Video shot in June 2016
This ride is such a bonding experience too, for those 5 mins you’re completely invested in who’s ending up the wettest.
omg i know right, it doesn’t matter who you go with you just laugh at everyone or they laugh at you for the whole ride😭
So true ✊🏽😖
How is this soo accurate!!!
Every single time I go with my friends we make it into a competition to see who can and gets the wettest
Ur so right 😂 my mum hates getting wet and she only goes on these to keep us happy but somehow she always ends up the most wet 😂😂
This ride is definitely a life saver when it’s 90+ degrees out. Whoever came up with this ride is a genius 💯🙌🏾
Noone could survive 90+ degrees. When will you Americans ever learn the correct measurements
Joey A. Are you talking about Fahrenheit or Celsius? Because 90+ Fahrenheit is definitely survivable
@@jennamedina9492 uhm.... Celsius? The only sort of measurement that actually makes sense....
I will never get how people make sense of Fahrenheit... It doesn't even start at 0°
Say what you want about the temperature and ride, another form of entertainment for this ride is up on the big boat with the water guns.
Amour Mani there is a version of this ride in every park on the planet...lol
Seeing everyone laugh at and with eachother is making me happy. This is a good ride to bond with other people that you don’t know.
This is why I like going to parks by myself. I get to meet new people, and sometimes even make new friends.
true
@@PlatinumEagleStudios i made some new friends at hhn . It was awesome!
@@og9393 Nice. Good for you! See, that's exactly what I was talking about. Talking with other random people is a great way to make friends, and theme parks are some of the best places to do that.
I remember when we went to universal we rode this ride, and we joked with the employee loading us up that he should come on the ride and join us. Well when we got back, the employee was wearing a full water suit, jumped into our ride, and went a second time without getting off. good memories
Now that right there is wholesome at its finest
That's amazing
Wet isn't the word to describe how much water is dumped on you.
Adam Chanley I know I've been on it many times lol

australia's dreamworld one got shut down on that round tube ride as it went up the belt that leads to a room it bumped another tube with people and both flipped killing them it was closed down last year
This is the wettest ride I have ever been on hands down. I love Disney, but they could take a LOT of notes about how to improve Kali River Rapids from Universal.
ya kali river rapids at disney world sucks
Jim Schuck You may not get completely drenched on Kali, but you feel like you are on a river journey, not just at a theme park.
Yes, because the logging truck looks so real. Disney's ride may be more "environmentally conscious", and like I said, I love Disney, but Bilge Rat Barge's is just a better water ride.
Jim Schuck yeah kali river rapids is pretty boring the only time you get wet is from the drop
Jim Schuck exactly that ride has 1 drop and it’s not big
I for one went backwards every single freaking time and YOU DID NOT JUST GET WET YOU GOT SOAKED
Just went on this a month ago and that's exactly what happened to me. Loved the people dryer lol!
Thats awesome
Yup if you are the people that goes backwards you get completely soaked
Hello Jonathan
Getting wet is an understatement, might as well as got out and swam round
Hello Ant H
I still don’t understand why nobody has built a rapids ride at a water park...
there is a water park in Brazil with a rapids ride actually, search for Rio Selvagem at Thermas dos Laranjais
Ye
Probably because it isn't very safe to load people onto these boats barefoot. The turntables could lead to crushed toes if not careful. Universal enforces a strict no barefoot policy on this ride for the same reason.
@@ma9c what about sandals?
ma9c Cedar Point’s thunder canyon allows you to ride barefoot
Guest about to ride Popeye: "How wet will I be on the ride?"
Employee: "Yes"
Really wet bruh 🤣
QUESTION SHOULD BE is there somewhere to dry off
@@rob235ioa1 there is a dryer machine for your whole body, but you gotta pay for it. I think it's around $5
@@rob235ioa1 there is across the ride exit, but you have to pay for it but it's like a human blow dryer
For stuff like this we bring sandals in our bag. At least you won’t have wet shoes cause that is the worst. We may bring an extra set of clothes for our son too who is 10. I don’t want to hear that all day. 😂
Looks like one of the best rapids rides out there in general, but the level of detail and theming really sends it over the top.
Joshua Rexrode kali rapids at Disney animal kingdom is great too
Kali is probably one of the weakest raft rides out there. Super short and calm, but it does have a drop.
No
I disagree
جميل
This and Dudley do rights are insanely soaking
Maxeeyy. Yes Dudley's ripsaw's falls is even worst.You get Super soaked 😀
Marcelo Rodriguez yg
I like Dudley do the drop is super fun
Yes and I made the mistake of going on them both in a row
Doing this in cold weather doesn't help either.
I'm not joking, this is the scariest ride there. This ride is the definition of evil and i've never seen anyone get off it without being 100% soaked. The lines for the dryers are always extremely long.
jurrasic park is probably worse
Jurassic is hell
@@shim64 it is worse not because of the water but because of the drop….. but don’t make the jurassic river ride (if that’s what you’re talking about) the first water ride you go on! do dudley do rights ripsaw falls or this first 😇
@@hello_k1tty_z03 that was actually the first water ride i went on tho ngl
@@shim64 the river ride??? wow!! when i went, i had to ease myself in, starting with this and then ripsaw falls, and then jurassic, cause i knew it had a big drop
I went on this once. We waited half an hour, got stopped for 15 minutes, got soaked, and then got stuck on the conveyer belt to go up to the big drop. To make matters worse, storm warnings were playing over the radio.
M well, I went on this ride last Wednesday, I didn’t know about this ride. I had little time to prepare myself to this trip actually, but you see, I was at the park, there was rain announced for that day, I started my day at the park going to Jurassic Park ride. A little wet, it was still sunny, yay, I dried really quick. Went on more rides and at a certain point started to get windy, and then pouring. I went to the Spider-Man ride. All fun and games, inside thing, then I looked at my map and noticed this Popeye ride. I tightened my poncho, that I had put at that time and made my way to Popeye ride. No lines, which I expected because of the rain. Well, you know what happened. There was no piece of my skin that remained wet. The temperature in Orlando started to drop quickly after that. But I have no regrets. On the summer that ride must be the best thing.
4:21 guy in blue shirt gets slaughtered by water 😂😂
You could have chosen a grammatically correct word because he was not slaughtered.
best part of the video
This is the wettest ride I have ever been on hands down.
Went to universal for 3 days last summer. On the last day we brought clothes to change into and literally went on this thing for 3 hours straight. (wasn't crowded so we never had to wait longer than 10 minutes^^) Amazing ride! :D
Universal is known for getting soaked on rides
i,m strong to the finach cause i eats me spinach i,m popeye the sailor man
Geometry Dash DisneyKing you done even have to be on a ride to get soaked I stood by a fence in front of a roller coaster and when it came down going through the water I got soaked and it was nice because it was really hot out
toot toot
That's the idea if you ask me...
my favorite ride lmao, we always put my mom in the spot where you get the wettest it's hilarious
LOL
Where's the wettest spot?
@@abbycollins I need to know😏
yara where’s the wettest area?
D.L.C. The wettest area u can get is in the back. When you entering the raft go to the far left seat. It’s the wettest u can get. Always get soaked in that spot
One of the best water rides ever.
I would imagine a wet splash is a welcomed relief during the hot summer months in sunny Florida!
ICE BLADE believe me, it's not just a splash!
Yeah you’d think. You get 100% wet everywhere. Spare clothes are a must. Ponchos do nada.
@@basesspace3012 SPLASH? HA
You'll get off that ride in tears and not know if it's tears or water that fell on u
Definitely the best raft ride I've ever been on - great themeing, fast, and soaking wet!
I tricked my girlfriend into going on this promising she wouldn't get soaked.
Clearly she wasn't happy afterwards 🤣
Did she break up with you?
@@mrcritical6751 Nah, she ended up moving in.
Get her a poncho next time 🤣😄
@@faolanstar1587 Oooooooooo
You got to leave her
Love the diversity in this video 💖
Yes I was thinking the same, the seating is a little mixed up 😁
One love, one splash!
Wow this ride looks awesome, its really themed great as well. That one poor guy got soaked over and over, had me laughing good. The video quality is real clear as well. Great video.
Josh Huffines I rode it like 5 times! Great ride.
Maddie awesome, lucky you 👍🏻
If you go, wear a swimsuit and bring extra pants. Or at least wear athletic shorts. Denim and khakis don’t dry well.
I don't think it's themed well at all
@@blah7983 completely agree.
Honestly, I say skip this one.
4:21 OOOOH that’s gonna leave a mark......
Why does everyone in the raft look like they are at jury duty hoping not to be called.
😂
Good description. I thought the same. Only a few laughing along with it all.
🤣🤣🤣
If u ride this, prepare to get SATURATED!!!!!!!!
Hello Jack
Rode this last year and loved it. Don't think I could've got any wetter if I'd just jumped in!
I LOVES THIS RIDE!!! When I went to universal studios my boyfriend and I got to ride it 8 times in a row without getting off :)) it was dark out and we walked right on . Definitely my favorite especially at night
Ewwwwwwwww
@@gemstoneprincess2890 ur ugly
The first time I was on here I was terrified and water bothered me because I didn’t like it in my face but I got super drenched my first time and I yelled at my parents 😂 but now I love it and if I ever get kids I’m making them do this lol. I always aimed for the water when it had the small waterfalls just dropping in places
went on this when it was cold, never again
LMAO I’ve made that mistake too
The memories!!!!! I want to go back so bad 💔
It feels great to see a ride I went to from a vacation
I love the dry storage in the center of the boats on this ride. I wish all of these type of rides were built that way.
I remember when I really wanted to fire the water cannons but I never could, such vivid memories.
Wow you really do get soaked! I would definitely save this ride as the last one or bring an extra set of clothes haha.
We always go all water rides between 11am and 2pm. That is the hottest part of the day and in Florida that can get into the 100's so the water rides feel amazing and it takes no time to dry out. You will need to reapply sun block after water rides to avoid sunburns!!! Also wet denim is Very Heavy and can irritate your skin or cause a rash. Athletic wear is best because it's loose, light weight and dries quickly.
I just wear quick-dry clothes - surf shorts and t-shirt.
I'm so excited to ride this again in march
gamingwith Evan i will be there in march too
yonathan persky nice
yonathan persky I love the feeling you get when you go on a ride like this it's like butterflies
Wearing sneakers on this ride is not a good idea. We always bring a change of clothes and make this one of our first rides. We love it!!
You guys have THE BEST ride experiences ... Keep the great videos coming!
This ride is so amazing!! It was so worth the wait, and you WILL GET SOAKED!! My sister got stuck under one of the Jets and was leaning on my laughing 😂. She later said it felt like a back massage 😂
Love this ride ♥
I like water rides better than roller coasters.
Not because coasters are bad, they just scare me.
Water makes me feel calm, therefore water rides are calmer for me.
I remember going on this Ride 4 Years ago. It was honestly the best Universal Ride out in the park.
I so LOVE your videos!
Thank you,.....thank you,......thank you, for taking us along with you.
A big hug and a BIG KISS!
Me and my family went in this ride last time we went and let me tell you that you will get SOAKED.
this ride is the best
Thank you for bringing so many good memories from this ride
The best is when you go with a good group of people and you're all anxiously waiting to see who is going to be the one who gets it the WORST.
容赦なさすぎて思わず笑っちゃった😂
ミ だな
This is the BEST rapids ride I have ever been on. The speed theming etc. I haven’t been to this park in 20 years and still remember this ride fondly
I was there in a cold day. I have never gotten such a bad cold!
Oh yeah and the dryers at the exit door dont work and cost 5 bucks
Only been to IOA once and I remember this ride VIVIDLY. You get absolutely DRENCHED in every seat! They have those full-body dryers after you get off but none of them were working that day an it was so hot. Couldn't tell what was water and what was sweat! Fun ride though!
Super pumped going to universal this summer! This is my first time going. I’m graduating with my masters in May so I wanted to treat myself!💙
I smiled this entire video
I LOVE THIS RIDE SO MUCH
It's so tame at the beginning!! I've been on it so many times and either got drenched or others in the cart with me have got drenched, fro, the very first dip
"You will get wet!" the ride says. That's an understatement.
BEST DISNEY RIDE EVER
This looks like one of the more fun Rapids I've ever seen. Great theme
I was in the park in November 2015 and there was monsoon conditions. Everybody with any sense ran for cover. Not me. I went on this ride time and time again on my own. It was like being Lieutenant Dan on the top of the ship. But the best bit is always when some damn moron gets on with stonewash jeans and his wife is wearing a veil or something and the whole floor floods and then they get drenched. The dryers eat dollars but they aren' t miracle workers.
Mark Rammond I did the same thing when I was there during a rain storm! You’re already soaked so just enjoy it!
Highly recommend u bring flip-flops and put ur shoes in a bag, cause u will be walking with soggy shoes the rest of the day
Try riding this during summer. Universal turns the water on FULL BLAST. They are relentless.
I love this ride so tricking much. It's a great ride without the theming but the theming truly makes this one of the best rides of it's kind
Great ride. Really fun to be honest, as long as you don’t care if your clothes get wet and that you will get soaked. You will get wet either way and some may get drenched but trust me. I learned it the hard way. But this is one of the best water rides I’ve been to and it’s really hot usually so it’s good to cool off
I broke the record for most consecutive rides in a row which is 43
Love watching these videos, keep filming them.
Just went and this was one of the best rides and refreshing!
Amazing video.
Lucky Surprise ToysReview you suck
Pp
You suck little baby
My family and I went on this ride thinking it was an innocent riverboat of some sort...oh were we wrong...we were soaked...and I left my glasses on the ride
I went on this ride and some of family friends had been on this ride before and they literally wore ponchos and still somehow got wet! This ride is probably know for soaking people. Even though you get soaked the first time I ride it we went on it two times and it was amazing! Although they said not to take our shoes off we did the first time cause they let us but the second time we had to sneak them off right when the ride was starting. I have to say hands down to Universal you have ultimately reached the point where that when anyone is burning or wants to get soaked they will go on this ride🙌
I loved the rapids ride, This is way better than the Thunder River Rapids which Is closed in October, 26 2016
I Loooooooove this ride.
Warning: u don’t get soaked u get drenched with water it’s unbelievable ⚠️😂
The best water ride ever. Love it every time my family and I are in Kissimmee,Orlando
Greetings from Oslo,Norway
I rode this thing many, many years ago, and it's still my favorite rides. A lot of fun and great way to cool off. Just be prepared to be drenched by the time you get off.
When I saw 4:05 for the first time, I was like, “Universal doesn’t play around.”
My family and I went on this twice and we were soaking wet!😂 Me and my cousin were dumb enough to go on Rip Saw Falls after.
UGH! I loved going here for summer, this ride, the mummy ride, and the dinosaur one were all very amazing! loved it. Oh and of course harry potter land!
I love river rapids rides, they are relaxing and exciting at the same time. :-)
nice!!!!!!!!
During a thunderstorm they lets us go round twice
Josh Brown at night time I went around 8 times in a row before getting off
Love this ride so much , great video
The Theaming for this ride and Dudley’s is awesome, so much good detail in everything
These raft rides always make me nervous after the Dreamworld deaths a few years ago
Seriously i wouldnt mind working in a theme park.
Me, too! I also wouldn’t mind you working in a theme park.
The best Universal Orlando water ride ever made
Ooohhhh thanks !!! Good memories :) i.liked so much when I went to universal studios
Most of you should know after watching this. Never go on this for the 1st ride. Take your shoes off if possible cause if not you'll be walking around with wet socks all day and it isn't fun at all .
when i went on this it was raining so that was a fun extra lmao
Insanely fun ride! Went here four or five times over the course of my childhood...first time everyone in my family had to buy dry clothes from the park (dryers didn't exist back then). After that we brought dry clothes and stored them in a day locker, middle of the day heat meant time for this and the log flume ride then change clothes and back to the dry rides lol
A really great water ride
I went on this one like 20 times and I'm a kid it is AMAZING IF U GO TO UNIVERSAL DO THIS RIDEEEEEE
Also I'm a real wimp so plz take my word 4 it :)
Shleapord Gurl any wimp can go on this ride lmfao it's a WATER RIDE
haha
Shleapord Gu
Shleapord Gurl I love this ride as well it is so fun!!:)
This is soaking! Do not go on Popeyes then ripsaw falls in a row like I did, you’ll regret it!
My family as been going here for a while now and I'm telling you it's the best experience ever .We got on this ride and it was so much fun we are going again in July. This time we are going to lots more parks than we normally do I most definitely recommend going with friends and family or just by yourself it's an amazing experience
Going in august of this year, I’m so excited for the water rides because I love log flumes and rapids
Here's a tip for women and girls: do NOT wear white linen shorts or pants on the day you visit this park. There will be absolutely no mystery to what you're wearing underneath after this ride.
got soakin wet for hours......but fun it was !
i soaked for the entire day when i got home it was like midnight and i was still wet
Hands down THE best rapids ride at any park I’ve been to anywhere.
Amazing theming all the way through!
