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:

It's a cartoonish version of Kali River Rapids, if Kali River Rapids was actually good
Pros:
it has some drops, good surprises where to get soaked. It is the perfect way to break the heat during this heatwaveCons:

This ride is so much fun! Water comes at you from all angles throughout the ride and there are many twists and turns. Be prepared to get soaked...there's no way to avoid it on this ride. If you don't have extra shoes, wait and ride it late in the day or you will be squishing through the parks the rest of the day. There are lockers for rent and a small space in the middle of each boat to put a fanny pack or small purse, but don't count on them staying completely dry. Another fun thing is that you can shoot people from above on Olive's playground, which is just outside the exit.
Pros:
Drops Get to ride all together (boat fits 10) Surprises from all anglesCons:

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:

So many people I’m the review section are like you will get Wet and cons are like wet, wet, wet, well you know what that’s the name of the game people! This is a very good ride for the whole family, for my youngest 7, enjoyed, and my 14 and 11 year olds also enjoyed it, so give it a break, and my dad loves Popeye so yeah.

this is the wettest that i've ever gotten on a ride in my life. the water is never dirty with leaves or anything, like many other river rapids rides. the theming is incredible, but there are some parts that don't make very much sense. i have no clue what the story is, or why there's a beautiful humongous octopus in a cave. also, the "drop" could be so much more fun, if your barge actually went down the drop, instead of hurting your neck, and taking like 20 second to descend 5 feet. i love this ride nonetheless. i always bring a change of clothes to the parks, because i go on this ride every visit. it is definitely a priority, and never has a long wait at all!
Pros:
SOAKING WET!!!Cons:

My family had an unbelievably fun time on this ride. There was a minimal ride so we rode several times in a row. You think you can't get wetter...and then you do. Just embrace it for what it is, be OK with getting sopping wet and have fun. Disclaimer: We planned for the wet rides and after riding Dudley Do-Right's & Popeye & Bluto's (multiple times), we had dry clothes and shoes to change into.
Pros:
long ride fun with the famCons:
It's a water ride. Do what you will with that info. For what it is, it's the best water ride in Orlando.Reviewed by Figarofan2008 Review Date: 05/15/2021

Amazing ride with neat visuals. YOU WILL GET WET. Also, you get to talk to people. Also, they are water cannons and showers to spray people with( must pay with money). On the showers, number 2 or 3 may or may not be free.
Pros:
WATER IN ORLANDO, fun ride and visuals. Also, I love seeing the screams from the people when I hit with the shower.Cons:
Freezing water even during summer, when masks are (or were if this is being read after no mask policy) required are they are not fun to where afterwards, and a bit loud.Reviewed by WDWinMD Review Date: 04/07/2021

My son and I love this ride. We combine this with Dudley Do Right and Jurassic Park River Adventure to make a water Park afternoon if not going to Volcano Bay
