Someone please put this part of the park out of its misery! I hate to be a Debbie downer but it’s so outdated and no kids even know who half of these characters are! This entire section just needs a complete retheme! This ride itself is just a typical water ride that leaves you looking like you took a shower with your clothes on lol.
Pros:
Can’t think of anyCons:

It tells you that you will get wet, and you will. Prepare for the worst, but it is so fun for everyone. Old and young, you can't get better than a nice water ride. It isn't intense, except for the wetness.
Pros:
Cute for the whole familyCons:

Get ready to get soaked! Don't go in expecting the mild wetness you get from Jurassic Park, Splash, or even Disney raft rides. You will get SOAKED head to toe. We were drying off for the rest of the day. Don't get me wrong, the ride is pretty thrilling, and you get that fun communal experience of a group raft ride. But I don't think it's worth the discomfort for the rest of the day.
Pros:
Fun, thrilling.Cons:

Overall, this water ride is pretty good. I’ve been on similar attractions like this, and they were simply better. The ending is disappointing, especially for enthusiasts. I don’t hate this ride, but I’m not too fond of it either.
Pros:
You get soaked, lots of funCons:

First ride, got soaked and was very fun! The second time though... i think it malfunctioned or something because there was a huge turn, we were almost sideways ! It did that twice, i wasnt so sure about doing it a third time. I dont know if it was a weight diffrence or malfunction, but it scared me really bad.
Pros:
Good on a hot day, good ride to meet strangersCons:

The water was really cold when we went on it. The little one with us was very cold and started crying half way though. This seems like a nice ride for kids (and in the summer it is) but you get constantly wet so I’d suggest going when you don’t mind getting drenched in freezing water. I wish we would’ve known just how cold the water was.
Pros:
Would be a good way to cool down in summerCons:

Way more intense than Kali river rapids. You’ll get very wet but there are drying machines you can use!
Pros:
Very fun ride if you like getting wetCons:

A really fun raft ride! The ride itself is great, but this is your standard raft ride, nothing that makes it stand out from the crowd. You can also get REALLY wet, so plan accordingly
Pros:
Fun water rideCons:
You can get soaked Nothing unique about this raft ride versus others of its kind The theme is VERY oldReviewed by lucykate Review Date: 09/25/2020

I love this ride when it's super hot outside. Obviously with every rapids type ride, you are bound to get very wet, and this is no exception. The ride is much longer than most other rapids rides, so there is plenty of time for you to get absolutely soaked. It has some pretty cool theming (even if you're not very familiar with Popeye), and the story is cute and easy to follow. The ambiguity of who will get wet next adds an extra thrill to the attraction. Overall a good choice for a Florida summer afternoon.
