Popeye & Bluto's Bilge-Rat Barges

[tracyh]

I just heard a nasty rumour that this attraction will be closed during September this year, that would be awful :cry:

This is a brilliant water ride.

Anybody else heard the same rumour?:(

[spider]

Oh that would be such a big shame for those visiting in September :( :( :(

It's one of my favs, and makes me laugh sooooooo much, we were drenched when we got off, went and got a burger after and when we got up after eating, there was a massive puddle where we were drip-drying!!!!!!!!!!!:D :D :D

Hope it isn't down for long for those out there then:confused2

It was closed end oct begining of nov last year for major rehab, so hopefully it wont be down for too long this year

...sorry to be selfish, guys, but as long as it's running over Easter 05, I'm relieved... it's my DS favourite attraction and he would be devastated if it was down!

Nothing on IOAcentral about this yet.

Hope it's open when we go, as it was closed last October. We did get to ride one day though - they opened it when Dudley Do Right's was down for the afternoon.
