Universal Islands of Adventure
Operating
Popeye & Bluto's Bilge-Rat Barges® sends you swirling down a wild whitewater river in a round raft, surrounded by cartoon chaos inspired by the classic Popeye comic strip. Located in Universal Islands of Adventure, this outdoor attraction is all about big splashes, spinning currents, and surprise water blasts from every direction. You’ll drift past colorful seaside scenery, shipwrecks, and slapstick gags as Popeye races to rescue Olive from Bluto’s clutches. It’s a lively, family-friendly raft ride where getting absolutely soaked isn’t just possible—it’s part of the fun.
