Popeye can easily defeat Thanos with the power of spinach

My girlfriend told me “this ride isn’t that wet”. We hit our first water fall and I just stared at her while soaked to my soul.

For a "small fee..." zoom in, its $5 for about a minute max. It barely works, on a hot day, it's faster to just walk yourself dry, lol.

This is the BEST water ride ever. Its impossible to not get wet. Its long too

One of the few Raft rides to actually get you soaking wet, most get you slightly wet or just bait you into thinking you're going to get wet. Went on this like 13-14 years ago and I remember me and my whole family coming off soaked from head to toe

Ahh, I remember the days when Popeye characters and Popeye's Chicken used to be together.

Thumbs up for the Cuphead music, it's perfect.

Love this ride! Got on twice in one day, back to back. One of those people dryers and a full day walking around in the sun later, and I was still soaked 😂

I once jumped into a pool fully clothed. I got out dryer than I got off this ride!!!

I’m Popeye the Sailor Man. I’m Popeye the Sailor Man. I’m strong to the finich, cause I eats me spinach. I’m Popeye the Sailor Man!

I used to hate water rides where you got absolutely soaked, because I hated walking around the rest of the theme park with wet clothes. Even nowadays with those dryers that they always have, they never get you completely dry, plus the price to use them is normally extortionate! Yet I went on this ride, got absolutely drenched, and because it was a baking hot Florida day I was dry within what felt like mere minutes of getting off the ride. And I had such a blast that I got right back in the queue to ride it again!

I rode this on my only trip to Islands Of Adventure...and got so soaked that I chose to leave the Dudley Do-Right ride "for another day".

The history of the Sword the Stone show that use to have at magic kingdom or other Disney parks would be amazing.

Thank you! I rode this once at night and I was unhappy for the rest of the night. Btw, can you do Escape from Gringotts when you cover Harry Potter?

Can you do Mickey’s Philharmagic and Fantasmic Also, this isn’t related to the Ride: Popeye is the one to have a restaurant where people like to have a cat fight at for some reason. Look those up

Thanks for the "quiet place" tip, that part of the park gets a little crazy congested at times! I loved seeing the trial runs! I have wanted to be a part of designing and building one of these attractions since before WDW opened!!

Awesome and insightful video. I feel like you’ve done the majority of the e-ticket attractions and more. I don’t want the USF/IOA videos to come to an end. They’re so good. So I guess I’ll give my longtime suggestion of Poseidon’s Fury or better yet a comprehensive video on The Lost Continent-and a new one, Doctor Doom’s Fear Fall? Once again thanks to Jack for explaining the ride story that is missed due to all the chaos on this attraction. Keep up the great content. 👍🏻

These are among my comfort videos! They help my current obsession with Universal lmao!!

An episode about the old Ghostbusters Spooktacular at Universal Studios Orlando would be awesome...

Popeye is the greatest! I love the comics, cartoons and of course the Robin Williams film. The Popeye ride and area is easily one of my favorites in all of Islands Of Adventure.

Please do the history of the universal studios Hollywood studio tour

This is a great ride with excellent theming throughout!

Definitely the wettest water ride I have ever been on, great video.

Fun times on this ride, glad I went on.

Great start to the week!

This is the best episode that has appeared this year so far! Popeye is a world sensation is a very very good comic and I still read some to this day! This channel gets better every day!

Truly one of the best rides at universal and yet one not a lot of people talk about, I remember during my childhood everytime I went to universal I always wanted to ride this and the employees were always so kind and let me ride twice, even if it means it’ll get too busy for me to ride it immediately twice again I hope more people learn about this lovable water ride

I would love to see you cover the history of Dollywood. I grew up going there from 1989-2015. I love that park and no one ever covers it. Love your channel!

Nearly 20yrs old! Its a great way to cool down in that hot Orlando sun though.

Mickey’s Philharmagic and Fantasmic shows next please!

Jurassic Park River Adventure gets you wet. Ripsaw Falls gets you wet. Popeye's gets you SOAKED!

God i love this channel

*I’ll test this rides’ power in 2 days. Wish me luck, sailors.*

I rode this 10 times today and loved every second of it. It was near closing so the TMs just let me stay on and loaded passengers around me lolol

Every theme park can thank Astroworld for coming up with the idea of a river Rapids ride

I love it when you cover Universal attractions, especially those designed by Gary Goddard. His work at Universal is legit one of my biggest inspirations. Great video!!

Yes! I've been asking for this! Thank you Theme Park History!

I don't think anyone can have an unhealthy love of spinach.. just a love of spinach. It's healthy.

As a person who loooooves Popeye but hates water rides, thanks for doing the coverage on this ride! No suggestions from me, just keep doing what you’re doing because I love your channel!

You should do Dueling Dragons from Islands of Adventure for the next video

My wife, son, daughters, mother, mother in law, brother, step brother and my other wife were all tragically, permanently soaked on that ride. The park covered it all up and we never saw a dime.

I love how your channel uploads often

Best ride ever, I love it. Can’t wait to come back to universal

i never actually noticed the story of this ride. we always just had fun bouncing around

Great Job as always!

dudley soaked our front, popeye our back sides... we were quite surprised to say the least. in germany you do not get that wet on water rides... holy smokes that was awesome!

I grew up on Popeye. The Popeye video game was my favorite for years.

The best ride on a rainy day, my family rode this one like 4 times back to back because we were already wet and there was no line.

Your videos are some of the best on youtube! Keep up the good work mate!

Another great video. Keep it up. Love learning about rides, I have never heard of.

LOVEEEE THIS RIDE! Come out soaked every time lmaoo

I rode this in winter. Still had fun.

“Toot toot” great way to end the video, love it!

My family’s favorite ride. To end the week we rode it 15 times in a row continuously over 3 hours. Only stopped because the Sun went down. Highly recommended.

I love your videos keep up the good work!

Like always this video is AWSOME, congratulations Theme Park History, I was missing a video from you, and “Welcome to Theme Park History, the Channel with everything to do with theme parks, old and new, big and small” ❤️❤️

I love how you actually credit your music (and video) sources.

You make such quality videos!

Of all the theme park rides I've ever been on, this is the only one that makes me laugh the whole time. You're constantly approaching a spot where someone will get doused. The anticipation builds so much tension... then you get wet and scream from the shock or someone across from you does and you hoot and holler at their expense. By the time you get off, you'll basically be as wet as you would if you had jumped into a swimming pool but this is more fun!

tysm FINALLY!

I went on that ride. I loved it.

I hope this ride never gets replaced. I love Popeye and I don't know when I'll get the chance to visit Universal.

Thanks TPH!!

I remember that if you go to a bridge over the ride, stick your head out to the side to get a good view of a scene with bluto and olive in a barrel

There's some pretty fascinating history at Lagoon Amusement park in Utah. Specifically the terroride and Dracula's castle. They were made by one of the most famous haunted house ride makers. I think even for yourself you'd like to look into their history.

I'd like to see a video about Blazing Fury at Dollywood in Pigeon Forge, TN.

Do the cat and the hat ride

Nice job on this video man keep up the great work on your videos man

This is definitely my favorite ride 9 months out of the year….because it’s HOT in Florida! 🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡

LMAO, I always love your Wrestling inserts, keep em' coming man!

AMAZING VIDEO!!!! I emphatically enjoy every Theme Park History video - keep up the incredible work!!!! And as a suggestion for the next Theme Park History I would love to see a Theme Park History video on “Tennessee Tornado” at Dollywood as it was the parks first major coaster, it was the spawn for the installment of many more thrilling coaster additions that has made Dollywood a coaster enthusiast destination, and I believe it was Arrow Dynamic’s or Ron Toomers last coaster so I feel it would make a sensational “Theme Park History” video of the month! PLEASE 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Have been waiting for this one, and it did not disappoint.

Love this ride so much

Yesss you did it thank you😎

I have no clue why, but this is my favorite video of yours

Do haunted mansion 🙌🏻🙌🏻

Playhouse Disney/Disney Junior live on stage?

This ride never fails to soak me to the skin when I ride it. When my family and I are in toon lagoon, we do this and Ripsaw Falls back to back first thing, leaving us to spend the rest of our time in the area sun drying. It’s a pretty effective schedule.

I remember the one time my brother and I went to Universal together as kids. We went on this ride multiple times, and had a blast!

My 2nd favorite water ride. It is certainly the best of all the round boat style water rides. We were among the first of the public to ride it - we attended the first pre-opening day at IoA, Popeyes wasn't open at the beginning of the day but around mid-day we lucked up to be walking by when a team member started telling people it would open soon. We went ahead and lined up, having no idea what to expect. We made it onto the 3rd boat!

This is one of my favorite rides of all time! I ride it 5+ times every time I visit Islands of Adventure!

Ahhh, I have such fond memories of this ride! I'm happy to hear it's still there =D when I was younger, it was one of the first 'Thrill Rides' I ever rode. It was great and prepared me for the Jurassic Park ride and now they're my favorite rides at Islands of adventure. Another A+ video! May I suggest Fantasmic for a future video? Not a ride but easily the best and most interesting thing at MGM/Hollywood Studios!

Oh man, I remember Popeye growing up, loved the show and knowing this exists makes me wanna ride it! I love Popeye and water rides! Thanks for this, really, knowing that such a ride exists.

Do a theme park history of Six Flags Over Texas please

One of my favorite memories was riding this with my family. We got on right before the park closed and it was pretty dark out. We didn’t realize how wet you got and we all had to walk back to our hotel room in the dark completely drenched 😂 I’ll never forget that

OMFG OMG YAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS IM IN THE VIDEOOO OMGGGG IK IM OVEREACTING BUTTTTT YEAAAA IM THEREEEEE AHHHHHHHHHHHHH

LOL that darn Bluto!

Nice job theme park history man you are one of my favorite youtubers

I remember on our last day in Orlando in 2005, the park was basically empty at the end of the day, and the ride operator just let us keep on going in the ride. We must have ridden it 20 times in a row. It was the best.

Came here as fast as I could!!!!!! Another amazing video!!!!!!!

The king does it again 🙌🏽

Yay thank you

Nice work and look there’s me lol I’d say Posideons fury or Dueling Dragons/Dragon Challenge should be next on the recommendations

I think this is the funnest water ride. Ever.

I really love the cuphead music in the background

What a great ride. Loved it, great for kids. And wow you get VERY wet.

Great video!!! You should do a video on the closed/ seasonal restaurants and the best kept secrets at Universal Orlando Resort

Such an underrated ride! When I rode this for the 1st time w/ my dad I said he wasn’t gonna get wet. His feet were soaked af

I was hoping this was next!!

I always get soaked whenever I ride this. It was a good thing that I packed a swimsuit so that I could change back to my regular clothes the last time I rode it.
