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 I hate to be a Debbie downer but it’s so outdated and no kids even know who half of these characters are!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:

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
Pros:
You must want to get wetCons:

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:

Expect to get wet. We combine this ride with Dudley Do-Right's and Jurassic Park in the afternoon to make our own little water park when we don't have time for Volcano Bay
Pros:
Fun, very wetCons:

Attention to detail is superb. It’s an attraction where you will get wet and very possibly absolutely soaked! You get in a circular “boat” with 11 others. There is no front and back - it’s pot luck which way round the “boat” goes. Anything you have that would be damaged by water should be stored in the lockers before you ride. Great attraction.
Pros:
You can chat to other people not in your party (social distancing permitting). Attention to detail. Lots of things to see and hear.Cons:

Khali River Rapids squared on the 10th hence the fact that YOU WILL GET SOAKED! When it´s super hot in Florida it´s a must go. Plus the Popeye theming it´s just really fun: your boat ride goes on a super fast river trying to rescue Olive from Blutus and on the way you can hear her cry for help just like in the cartoon! LOVE IT!
Pros:
FUN, even with the "get totally wet part". If you enjoyed Kahli this one is your next challenge. PRO Tip: Make sure to pack a magic towel or another shirt to change AND do those three attraction in a row: Jurrasic Park, Popeye and Doodley Do RightCons:
Too bad that a ride that can SOAK you does not offer free storage for your personal bellonginsReviewed 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.
Pros:
Very fun. Not too intense, so younger or more timid riders will still have a good experience. A tried and true way to get cooled off, see some cool set pieces, and have a laugh.Cons:
If you aren't into getting soaked to the bone, sit this one out. The wait can also get pretty long in the summer.Reviewed by Morganne Review Date: 09/22/2020

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:

My absolute favorite raft water ride. Even if you don’t know Popeye, the ride and story are so much more detailed than other raft rides. I go on this ride specifically to get wet and enjoy the ride itself, and always come out of it laughing. When the weather is right, it’s one of my favorites!
