Water Rides at Universal Orlando

After being in the sun all day if it always fun to cool off. Universal Orlando, specifically Islands of Adventure, is home to three great water rides. But not everyone is happy to get completely soaked, so it is important to learn about these three rides before you go.
Note: Wear ponchos if you want to enjoy the rides, without being very wet!

  • Jurassic Park River Adventure - Jurassic Park
For any fan of Steven Spielberg's hit movie, this is a must-do ride.
You will definitely be wet, but not completely drenched.
The first half of the ride is a calm boat ride through Jurassic Park. Then you take a wrong turn and begin to ascend, where you see dinosaurs invading the area.
The ride finishes with an 85 foot plunge and a big splash! Lots of fun for the whole family, if they don't mind a big (quick) drop!


  • Popeye & Bluto's Bilge-Rat Barges
I honestly have no idea what "bilge-rat" means, but the ride is really fun! Passengers sit on a circular raft and float down a path of rapids. There is no drop, but you will spin around.
Everyone will be completely soaked! I advise only riding if you don't mind staying wet for a hour after the ride is over.

  • Dudley Do-Right's Ripsaw Falls
This a basically a classic log flume ride, and also very similar to Splash Mountain at Magic Kingdom. The ride is calm and has two small drop before the 75 foot final drop. The plot is not interesting for me because I am not at all familiar with Dudley Do-Right.
You will not be soaked but still sort of wet, about the same as Jurassic Park.
