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 🤣
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 😂
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.
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!
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!!
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!!
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!]
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.
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
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
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.
Like always this video is AWSOME, congratulations Theme Park History, I was missing a video from you, and “Welcome to Theme Park History, the Channel with everything to do with theme parks, old and new, big and small” ❤️❤️
Ahhh, I have such fond memories of this ride! I'm happy to hear it's still there =D when I was younger, it was one of the first 'Thrill Rides' I ever rode. It was great and prepared me for the Jurassic Park ride and now they're my favorite rides at Islands of adventure. Another A+ video! May I suggest Fantasmic for a future video? Not a ride but easily the best and most interesting thing at MGM/Hollywood Studios!
AMAZING VIDEO!!!! I emphatically enjoy every Theme Park History video - keep up the incredible work!!!! And as a suggestion for the next Theme Park History I would love to see a Theme Park History video on “Tennessee Tornado” at Dollywood as it was the parks first major coaster, it was the spawn for the installment of many more thrilling coaster additions that has made Dollywood a coaster enthusiast destination, and I believe it was Arrow Dynamic’s or Ron Toomers last coaster so I feel it would make a sensational “Theme Park History” video of the month! PLEASE 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
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!
Sorry to have kept you waiting, glad you enjoyed it Timtam! I was a bit nervous about the video, as there really wasn't much info about the construction of the attraction that I could find.
Haunted Mansion is such a historic ride at Disney Land and Disney World that it would be the best History of ! Btw love the vids! Just started watching 3 months ago and already seen them all
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.
Awesome video! If you could do something on Poseidon's Fury at some point, that'd be really cool! It's not great by any stretch, but I'd love to see how it came to be.
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 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!
Man this is some good stuff!!!!! As always, of course. Next I would love to see Poseidon's Fury! We all know about the original concept behind TLC started at DAK, but what about this show in particular? Thanks so much!!
Great vid and looks like a fun ride for a hot day. I only did jurassic park last time i was there water ride wise so id like to do this nxt time. Didnt know they had dryers though! How much do they charge for that? And that secret spot for the view looks great, a brilliant photo area
Popeye can easily defeat Thanos with the power of spinach
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🤣🤣🤣
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
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

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.
These are among my comfort videos! They help my current obsession with Universal lmao!!
Ahh, I remember the days when Popeye characters and Popeye's Chicken used to be together.
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!
I once jumped into a pool fully clothed. I got out dryer than I got off this ride!!!
I love how your channel uploads often
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!!
This is the BEST water ride ever. Its impossible to not get wet. Its long too

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

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
This is a great ride with excellent theming throughout!
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.
Your videos are some of the best on youtube! Keep up the good work mate!
The history of the Sword the Stone show that use to have at magic kingdom or other Disney parks would be amazing.
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
I love your videos keep up the good work!
Jurassic Park River Adventure gets you wet.
Ripsaw Falls gets you wet.
Popeye's gets you SOAKED!
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
Definitely the wettest water ride I have ever been on, great video.
Another great video. Keep it up. Love learning about rides, I have never heard of.
Nearly 20yrs old! Its a great way to cool down in that hot Orlando sun though.
Great Job as always!
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.*
An episode about the old Ghostbusters Spooktacular at Universal Studios Orlando would be awesome...
I love how you actually credit your music (and video) sources.
0:03 This Popeye The Sailor Theme Song Is So Funky. Thanks Theme Park History Mate. X
I have no clue why, but this is my favorite video of yours
I rode this 10 times today and loved every second of it. It was near closing so the TMs just let me stay on and loaded passengers around me lolol
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.
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!
Like always this video is AWSOME, congratulations Theme Park History, I was missing a video from you, and “Welcome to Theme Park History, the Channel with everything to do with theme parks, old and new, big and small” ❤️❤️
Came here as fast as I could!!!!!! Another amazing video!!!!!!!
Thank you J Lily!
Please do the history of the universal studios Hollywood studio tour

Fun times on this ride, glad I went on.
Nice job theme park history man you are one of my favorite youtubers
Best ride ever, I love it. Can’t wait to come back to universal
LMAO, I always love your Wrestling inserts, keep em' coming man!
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
Nice work and look there’s me lol
I’d say Posideons fury or Dueling Dragons/Dragon Challenge should be next on the recommendations
LOVEEEE THIS RIDE! Come out soaked every time lmaoo
What a great ride. Loved it, great for kids. And wow you get VERY wet.
Nice job on this video man keep up the great work on your videos man

You should do Dueling Dragons from Islands of Adventure for the next video
Have been waiting for this one, and it did not disappoint.
Sorry to have kept you waiting, glad you enjoyed it Timtam! I was a bit nervous about the video, as there really wasn't much info about the construction of the attraction that I could find.
Theme Park History just couldn’t wait :)
Phenomenal stuff man!, another water ride that'd be great for you to do is Grizzly River run in DCA
I hope this ride never gets replaced. I love Popeye and I don't know when I'll get the chance to visit Universal.
Haunted Mansion is such a historic ride at Disney Land and Disney World that it would be the best History of ! Btw love the vids! Just started watching 3 months ago and already seen them all
Should probably save that ride for Halloween
Great video!!! You should do a video on the closed/ seasonal restaurants and the best kept secrets at Universal Orlando Resort
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.
OMFG OMG YAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS IM IN THE VIDEOOO OMGGGG IK IM OVEREACTING BUTTTTT YEAAAA IM THEREEEEE AHHHHHHHHHHHHH
love your channel, it's so nostalgic for me. Haunted Mansion for a future video please
I rode this in winter. Still had fun.
I came as soon as I saw keep it up live those water rides in the sun
Thank you Jake! You got it right about water rides: great when its hot, terrible when its not 😂
Theme Park History I live in Fort Lauderdale so it Gets even hotter then central FL
Awesome video!
If you could do something on Poseidon's Fury at some point, that'd be really cool! It's not great by any stretch, but I'd love to see how it came to be.
Another good video and can you make The History of Waterworld
Mickey’s Philharmagic and Fantasmic
shows next please!
Another great video! I'd love to see The history of Harry Potter and The Forbidden Journey or Escape From Gringotts!
LOL that darn Bluto!
Love this ride so much
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.
Cool video!
Maybe next video can you do Elitch Gardens' Meow Wolf Kaleidoscope?
Great video! Can you please do space mountain or it's a small world next ? ♥
The king does it again 🙌🏽

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!
The next ride episode you should do should be the Men in Black alien attack ride
I like this idea
Jurassic park river adventure, now Jurassic world

I'd like to see a video about Blazing Fury at Dollywood in Pigeon Forge, TN.
Man this is some good stuff!!!!! As always, of course. Next I would love to see Poseidon's Fury! We all know about the original concept behind TLC started at DAK, but what about this show in particular? Thanks so much!!
9:35 you forgot the detail in the back where bluto is trying to kiss olive in his boat but instead kisses a fish
Great work. Thunderchicken my friend
Love your videos. I'd love to see Gwazi at Busch Gardens Tampa especially since they're currently working on an RMC conversion.
I'd love to see you do Mickeys Philharmagic!
Still eagerly awaiting that Dueling Dragons/Dragon Challenge video. Other than that another fantastic video
Do Harry Potter and the forbidden journey or the gringotts one please! Also thanks for all the great content!

Nice vid! You should do one on The wizarding world of Harry Potter or Hall of presidents
Playhouse Disney/Disney Junior live on stage?
Playhouse Disney/Disney Junior has been added to the list, thank you for the suggestion roger.
Great vid, keep up the good work
Edit: can you do transformers the 3D ride
I went on that ride. I loved it.
