I feel like Popeye is still a recognizable IP...I wonder how much merch it sellsPopeye is a perfect rapids ride so I’d rather they don’t attempt to change it. Dudley looks great externally but I’d love it if they sort the inside parts out.

Right up there with Betty Boop for them. The men buy the Popeye stuff and the women buy the Boop. they have some great muscle shirts that I bet sell real well.I feel like Popeye is still a recognizable IP...I wonder how much merch it sells
If the land is going to stay as generalized "cartoons" (like it pretty much is), than I think SpongeBob as a straight retheme of RipSaw is a simple revitalization that could really drive traffic. The best part is, tonally, the humor is similar - that allows some of the sightgags (especially the signs) to remain in place.
Rehab of Dudley is underway:
It’s the yearly refurb. I’d be really surprised if we saw anything noticeable when it comes back upCurious to know what he means by "restoration". Hopefully, that means they are also going to go in there, and update the effects to be more modern in use.
I have issues with them as well. My legs are long and last time I rode the woman in front of me jammed her elbows into my legs since my legs have go around the sides of the seat in front of me.I wish they replace the logs with the Spash Mountain ones.
My body just can't get in and out of that thing anymore.
Did you buy her dinner first?I have issues with them as well. My legs are long and last time I rode the woman in front of me jammed her elbows into my legs since my legs have go around the sides of the seat in front of me.
There’s probably a joke here about needing more than dinner before you’re allowed to bruise me. Just not sure it’s forum appropriate.Did you buy her dinner first?

I loved to ride it but after I got arthritis there is no way I can ride it. There was a time there where no dividers and you sat snugly against someone else's crotch and that was weird but at least you had space to get up out of the vehicle.
So please Universal level the ride and build a new flume log ride with a great story and theming and the right ride vehicles.
Their has got to be a solution to this issue....The boats are hard to get in and out of for everyone I feel, especially when they added the lapbarsI wish they replace the logs with the Spash Mountain ones.

Just curious, who manufactured Dudley? Was is an Arrow log flume?
I was never convinced Dudley ever hits capacity so Universal could totally lower the capacity anyways.Maybe reducing the boat capacity to 4 people?
It's pretty busy during summer....And the queue is awful to wait inI was never convinced Dudley ever hits capacity so Universal could totally lower the capacity anyways.
There are some parts of the Dudley queue where my claustrophobia really kicks in. The humidity in there doesn’t help.It's pretty busy during summer....And the queue is awful to wait in
