My friend and I were wringing our socks out after this ride, soaked head to toe and anither guest stopped with a look of absolute horror on her face and wanted to know which ride we went on so she could avoid it 🤣
One of the few Raft rides to actually get you soaking wet, most get you slightly wet or just bait you into thinking you're going to get wet. Went on this like 13-14 years ago and I remember me and my whole family coming off soaked from head to toe
I hate this ride because there’s no element of chance to it like other raft rides. There are just waterfalls that soak you no matter what every time it’s not actually anything to do with the movement of the raft that splashes it’s just waterfalls and jets.
Love this ride! Got on twice in one day, back to back. One of those people dryers and a full day walking around in the sun later, and I was still soaked 😂
Popeye is the greatest! I love the comics, cartoons and of course the Robin Williams film. The Popeye ride and area is easily one of my favorites in all of Islands Of Adventure.
Thanks for the "quiet place" tip, that part of the park gets a little crazy congested at times! I loved seeing the trial runs! I have wanted to be a part of designing and building one of these attractions since before WDW opened!!
Truly one of the best rides at universal and yet one not a lot of people talk about, I remember during my childhood everytime I went to universal I always wanted to ride this and the employees were always so kind and let me ride twice, even if it means it’ll get too busy for me to ride it immediately twice again I hope more people learn about this lovable water ride
I used to hate water rides where you got absolutely soaked, because I hated walking around the rest of the theme park with wet clothes. Even nowadays with those dryers that they always have, they never get you completely dry, plus the price to use them is normally extortionate! Yet I went on this ride, got absolutely drenched, and because it was a baking hot Florida day I was dry within what felt like mere minutes of getting off the ride. And I had such a blast that I got right back in the queue to ride it again!
Can you do Mickey’s Philharmagic and Fantasmic Also, this isn’t related to the Ride: Popeye is the one to have a restaurant where people like to have a cat fight at for some reason. Look those up
Awesome and insightful video. I feel like you’ve done the majority of the e-ticket attractions and more. I don’t want the USF/IOA videos to come to an end. They’re so good. So I guess I’ll give my longtime suggestion of Poseidon’s Fury or better yet a comprehensive video on The Lost Continent-and a new one, Doctor Doom’s Fear Fall? Once again thanks to Jack for explaining the ride story that is missed due to all the chaos on this attraction. Keep up the great content. 👍🏻
Isn't Florida getting a revamped Jurassic Park [World] update? Or is that in California? That would be a good time to revisit the ride maybe? [so tired of the old animatronics!]
I would love to see you cover the history of Dollywood. I grew up going there from 1989-2015. I love that park and no one ever covers it. Love your channel!
This is the best episode that has appeared this year so far! Popeye is a world sensation is a very very good comic and I still read some to this day! This channel gets better every day!
As a person who loooooves Popeye but hates water rides, thanks for doing the coverage on this ride! No suggestions from me, just keep doing what you’re doing because I love your channel!
I love it when you cover Universal attractions, especially those designed by Gary Goddard. His work at Universal is legit one of my biggest inspirations. Great video!!
My family’s favorite ride. To end the week we rode it 15 times in a row continuously over 3 hours. Only stopped because the Sun went down. Highly recommended.
dudley soaked our front, popeye our back sides... we were quite surprised to say the least. in germany you do not get that wet on water rides... holy smokes that was awesome!
There's some pretty fascinating history at Lagoon Amusement park in Utah. Specifically the terroride and Dracula's castle. They were made by one of the most famous haunted house ride makers. I think even for yourself you'd like to look into their history.
My wife, son, daughters, mother, mother in law, brother, step brother and my other wife were all tragically, permanently soaked on that ride. The park covered it all up and we never saw a dime.
My 2nd favorite water ride. It is certainly the best of all the round boat style water rides. We were among the first of the public to ride it - we attended the first pre-opening day at IoA, Popeyes wasn't open at the beginning of the day but around mid-day we lucked up to be walking by when a team member started telling people it would open soon. We went ahead and lined up, having no idea what to expect. We made it onto the 3rd boat!
This ride never fails to soak me to the skin when I ride it. When my family and I are in toon lagoon, we do this and Ripsaw Falls back to back first thing, leaving us to spend the rest of our time in the area sun drying. It’s a pretty effective schedule.
One of my favorite memories was riding this with my family. We got on right before the park closed and it was pretty dark out. We didn’t realize how wet you got and we all had to walk back to our hotel room in the dark completely drenched 😂 I’ll never forget that
Of all the theme park rides I've ever been on, this is the only one that makes me laugh the whole time. You're constantly approaching a spot where someone will get doused. The anticipation builds so much tension... then you get wet and scream from the shock or someone across from you does and you hoot and holler at their expense. By the time you get off, you'll basically be as wet as you would if you had jumped into a swimming pool but this is more fun!
I remember on our last day in Orlando in 2005, the park was basically empty at the end of the day, and the ride operator just let us keep on going in the ride. We must have ridden it 20 times in a row. It was the best.
Oh man, I remember Popeye growing up, loved the show and knowing this exists makes me wanna ride it! I love Popeye and water rides! Thanks for this, really, knowing that such a ride exists.
I always get soaked whenever I ride this. It was a good thing that I packed a swimsuit so that I could change back to my regular clothes the last time I rode it.

The power of the infinity spinach could never be beat

Lol good one
My girlfriend told me “this ride isn’t that wet”. We hit our first water fall and I just stared at her while soaked to my soul.
I can think of only one time where I got off that ride not soaked...
...I was also wearing a poncho
My friend and I were wringing our socks out after this ride, soaked head to toe and anither guest stopped with a look of absolute horror on her face and wanted to know which ride we went on so she could avoid it 🤣
😂
I remember it was so wet I saw lady risingnit in a chrochet bikini.
My family kept murmuring about how odd it was.
Been years but yooooo this same shit happened to me when i was about 7 but it was my mom who told the lie🤣🤣🤣
For a "small fee..." zoom in, its $5 for about a minute max. It barely works, on a hot day, it's faster to just walk yourself dry, lol.
I have never seen anyone use it, lmao.
Thumbs up for the Cuphead music, it's perfect.

Thank you! The plan is to incorporate more video game soundtracks if possible. It has worked out really well for our Popeye and Spider-Man videos.
does any still play the game?...no?...................................um...........ooooooooooook
@@zomboss9242 Considering that it just got released for the Switch, I would assume quite a few people are playing it. 😅
Actually Bluto reminds me of that pirate boss from the game

This is the BEST water ride ever. Its impossible to not get wet. Its long too
Love this ride! Got on twice in one day, back to back. One of those people dryers and a full day walking around in the sun later, and I was still soaked 😂
I went for a field trip one time and we went on it 3x in a row. 😂 let's just say that we were soaked for the rest of the day
Ahh, I remember the days when Popeye characters and Popeye's Chicken used to be together.
I’m Popeye the Sailor Man. I’m Popeye the Sailor Man. I’m strong to the finich, cause I eats me spinach. I’m Popeye the Sailor Man!
TOOT TOOT
ashleyofoz TOOT!
Toot toot
*Toot.*
I rode this on my only trip to Islands Of Adventure...and got so soaked that I chose to leave the Dudley Do-Right ride "for another day".
Dudley Do-Right is the worst for getting you wet believe me it gets you soaked
Mr Critical Popeyes is far worse
Why? Might as well ride Dudley Do-Right, it's not like you can get more wet than you do on Popeye. Then pay for the people dryer
I once jumped into a pool fully clothed. I got out dryer than I got off this ride!!!
Popeye is the greatest! I love the comics, cartoons and of course the Robin Williams film. The Popeye ride and area is easily one of my favorites in all of Islands Of Adventure.
These are among my comfort videos! They help my current obsession with Universal lmao!!
Thanks for the "quiet place" tip, that part of the park gets a little crazy congested at times! I loved seeing the trial runs! I have wanted to be a part of designing and building one of these attractions since before WDW opened!!

Can you do Mickey’s Philharmagic and Fantasmic
Also, this isn’t related to the Ride:
Popeye is the one to have a restaurant where people like to have a cat fight at for some reason. Look those up
The history of the Sword the Stone show that use to have at magic kingdom or other Disney parks would be amazing.
Thank you! I rode this once at night and I was unhappy for the rest of the night.
Btw, can you do Escape from Gringotts when you cover Harry Potter?
OML yessssss
J Terry TV i mean there’s not much history since it’s new
Awesome and insightful video. I feel like you’ve done the majority of the e-ticket attractions and more. I don’t want the USF/IOA videos to come to an end. They’re so good.

Oops he already did Poseidon’s fury :((
yoonginfires No, he hasn’t.
@@morethanthrills1616 I must have confusedwith another youtuber then
Doctor Doom’s Fear Fall would be a good one
Isn't Florida getting a revamped Jurassic Park [World] update? Or is that in California? That would be a good time to revisit the ride maybe? [so tired of the old animatronics!]
An episode about the old Ghostbusters Spooktacular at Universal Studios Orlando would be awesome...
This is a great ride with excellent theming throughout!
Definitely the wettest water ride I have ever been on, great video.
Great start to the week!
We switched up the release schedule this month to see the results. Whether it's the start of the week or the end, we hope you enjoyed the video!
I would love to see you cover the history of Dollywood. I grew up going there from 1989-2015. I love that park and no one ever covers it. Love your channel!

Mickey’s Philharmagic and Fantasmic

Please do the history of the universal studios Hollywood studio tour
As a person who loooooves Popeye but hates water rides, thanks for doing the coverage on this ride! No suggestions from me, just keep doing what you’re doing because I love your channel!
I hope this ride never gets replaced. I love Popeye and I don't know when I'll get the chance to visit Universal.
I love it when you cover Universal attractions, especially those designed by Gary Goddard. His work at Universal is legit one of my biggest inspirations. Great video!!
Best ride ever, I love it. Can’t wait to come back to universal
You should do Dueling Dragons from Islands of Adventure for the next video
“Toot toot” great way to end the video, love it!
Nearly 20yrs old! Its a great way to cool down in that hot Orlando sun though.
Yes! I've been asking for this! Thank you Theme Park History!
You asked and we delivered! Once again thank you for the suggestion The Skull & Spooky Channel.
Do haunted mansion 🙌🏻🙌🏻
Yes! Alongside Snow White’s Scary Adventures.
No. Theres a MILLION haunted mansion vids online
Quite possibly my favorite Magic Kingdom attraction
*I’ll test this rides’ power in 2 days. Wish me luck, sailors.*
Jurassic Park River Adventure gets you wet.
Ripsaw Falls gets you wet.
Popeye's gets you SOAKED!
LOVEEEE THIS RIDE! Come out soaked every time lmaoo
The best ride on a rainy day, my family rode this one like 4 times back to back because we were already wet and there was no line.
I love how your channel uploads often
You should do Hollywood Rip ride Rock it at Universal Studios
Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit has been added to the list, thank you for the suggestion Jonathan.
cover the whiplash i always get lol
I don't think anyone can have an unhealthy love of spinach.. just a love of spinach. It's healthy.
I mean too much of anything is bad
My family’s favorite ride. To end the week we rode it 15 times in a row continuously over 3 hours. Only stopped because the Sun went down. Highly recommended.
Same. The ride is seemingly never crowded.
dudley soaked our front, popeye our back sides... we were quite surprised to say the least. in germany you do not get that wet on water rides... holy smokes that was awesome!
Your videos are some of the best on youtube! Keep up the good work mate!
Do the cat and the hat ride
The Cat in the Hat has been added to the list, thank you for the suggestion Time_Nerd 1
Theme Park History thank you
Another great video. Keep it up. Love learning about rides, I have never heard of.
I'd like to see a video about Blazing Fury at Dollywood in Pigeon Forge, TN.
There's some pretty fascinating history at Lagoon Amusement park in Utah. Specifically the terroride and Dracula's castle. They were made by one of the most famous haunted house ride makers. I think even for yourself you'd like to look into their history.
I agree. Please cover the rides at Lagoon including Cannibal!!
i never actually noticed the story of this ride. we always just had fun bouncing around
0:03 This Popeye The Sailor Theme Song Is So Funky. Thanks Theme Park History Mate. X
Playhouse Disney/Disney Junior live on stage?
Playhouse Disney/Disney Junior has been added to the list, thank you for the suggestion roger.
I remember the one time my brother and I went to Universal together as kids. We went on this ride multiple times, and had a blast!
I grew up on Popeye. The Popeye video game was my favorite for years.
Can you do Dr. Doom ride at universal studios
Yes, Disneyland will probably be cool with that.
After they killed iron man, they better
My wife, son, daughters, mother, mother in law, brother, step brother and my other wife were all tragically, permanently soaked on that ride. The park covered it all up and we never saw a dime.

I love how you actually credit your music (and video) sources.
Every theme park can thank Astroworld for coming up with the idea of a river Rapids ride
LOL that darn Bluto!
This is one of my favorite rides of all time! I ride it 5+ times every time I visit Islands of Adventure!
This ride never fails to soak me to the skin when I ride it. When my family and I are in toon lagoon, we do this and Ripsaw Falls back to back first thing, leaving us to spend the rest of our time in the area sun drying. It’s a pretty effective schedule.
Do a theme park history of Six Flags Over Texas please
Never knew Popeye had a ride. Very interesting. I used to watch Popeye a while back.
One of my favorite memories was riding this with my family. We got on right before the park closed and it was pretty dark out. We didn’t realize how wet you got and we all had to walk back to our hotel room in the dark completely drenched 😂 I’ll never forget that
Love this ride so much
I remember that if you go to a bridge over the ride, stick your head out to the side to get a good view of a scene with bluto and olive in a barrel
The king does it again 🙌🏽
Steven Gutierrez Long Live The King!!!
I rode this in winter. Still had fun.
Of all the theme park rides I've ever been on, this is the only one that makes me laugh the whole time. You're constantly approaching a spot where someone will get doused.

By the time you get off, you'll basically be as wet as you would if you had jumped into a swimming pool but this is more fun!
Nice work and look there’s me lol
I’d say Posideons fury or Dueling Dragons/Dragon Challenge should be next on the recommendations
What I’d love to see is the history of the Iron Rattler at Six Flags Fiesta Texas
What about some legoland stuff there is'nt much content on the parks
I have no clue why, but this is my favorite video of yours
I remember on our last day in Orlando in 2005, the park was basically empty at the end of the day, and the ride operator just let us keep on going in the ride. We must have ridden it 20 times in a row. It was the best.
This is definitely my favorite ride 9 months out of the year….because it’s HOT in Florida! 🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡
Such an underrated ride! When I rode this for the 1st time w/ my dad I said he wasn’t gonna get wet. His feet were soaked af
9:35 you forgot the detail in the back where bluto is trying to kiss olive in his boat but instead kisses a fish
What a great ride. Loved it, great for kids. And wow you get VERY wet.
I’ve never gotten as wet on another ride than I have on this one. I love it
I think this is the funnest water ride. Ever.
Great Job as always!
I went on that ride. I loved it.
I really love the cuphead music in the background
This is one of my favorites. During one trip to universal my step mom and I rode this ride 13 times because it was empty
I love your videos keep up the good work!
I'd love to see you do Mickeys Philharmagic!
Oh man, I remember Popeye growing up, loved the show and knowing this exists makes me wanna ride it! I love Popeye and water rides!
Thanks for this, really, knowing that such a ride exists.
It's really fun. If you like popeye you'll love it.
Amazing ride. My family has a dedicated water ride day just because of how wet you get. I've easily ridden the ride at least 100 times.
Was it me or did I hear music from Cuphead in the background at one point.
Your not the only one
I know neither of the Fleischer bros got to ride this, but I wonder if Tom Hatten did? ;). Lovely vintage footage. Thanks.
I always get soaked whenever I ride this. It was a good thing that I packed a swimsuit so that I could change back to my regular clothes the last time I rode it.
I’m not sure what’s going on at 0:42, but hearing that guy make the boat noise and seeing him in that outfit is pretty funny.
For your Express Series, you should do Dr. Doom’s drop ride
That's the plan Classy and Jazzy, should be out sometime this summer. Thank you for the suggestion.
I’d love to see you do the Hollywood rip ride rockit
