POPYE & BLUTOS BILGE RAT BARGES

When we first did this ride could not work out why everyone had ponchios? We soon found out. There was a very smug looking lady sitting opposite us who managed to stay relatively dry for most of the ride. We got to the last pouring pot and it looked like the water was coming straight for us, suddenly we changed direction and she got the full force. She did not look too impressed[msnwink]

Never understand the ponchos, myself. The fun is getting wet and trying to dodge the water.

Can't understand that either. Why try to stay dry on a "wet" ride ?

Definitely favourite water ride. Remember first time we did this ride, had to buy new t-shirts for the boys, they were so wet !

Best time of day ? I'd say early, then you have time to dry off in the Florida sun [8D]

Great water ride, get absolutely soaked but great fun with it. Ponchos ? Come on ! The whole point is to get soaked, soak your neighbour if possible, enjoy it and enjoy dryiong out in the Florida sun, then go again.

I always laugh when I see people who wear the ponchos. The whole point of the ride is to get soaked and then dry off. I remember this lady next to me who had one on get drenched as the water went up under the poncho. classic gold moment!

I agree guys you expect to get wet, but there is wet and there is WET!!! WET!!!
The last time we was on this ride there wasn't a cat in HE**S chance of us drying off in the sunshine.
We was soaked to the skin,in fact my red canvas shoes dyed my feet red and Bruce's denim blue shorts were so wet the dye run down his legs.To say the least we was in a mess [grin][grin]

We take a spare pair of clothes with us. There are some lockers just next to the ride and when we have done both water rides we get changed. We always get soaked. My kids did this ride 5 times after one another last November and they were soaked when they came off.
You can get away with walking around wet in the summer months but in the winter months it can take an hour or two for you to dry off.

We take old clothes for the wet rides and an old towel and then trow them...
