Toon Lagoon | Bilge Rat Barges | Ripsaw Falls | Islands of Adventure | Universal Studios Florida

Описание: Toon Lagoon is a wet and wild adventure for all ages at Universal Studios Islands of Adventure. Based on the Sunday-morning newspaper comics of King Features Syndicate, guests of a certain age will enjoy seeing familiar friends from their childhood. If you have younger park-goers in your party, be prepared to answer many questions from the youngsters, such as, “Who is that character?,” “Why is that funny?,” and, also, “What is a newspaper?”

Toon Lagoon – attractions
Popeye & Bluto’s Bilge-Rat Barges at Universal's Islands of Adventure
Strap into a 12-person raft and prepare to get completely soaked as you take a ride on Popeye’s river tour. This innocent excursion goes awry when passengers are diverted into the rapids by Bluto in an attempt to kidnap Olive Oyl. If you’re not too busy trying to avoid getting sprayed by the water cannons on the bridges above, keep your eyes open for plenty of visual gags and signage jokes.

Me Ship, the Olive
The perfect place for kids to both cool down and blow off some steam, adults will still want to explore Popeye’s famous ship, named after his one true love. Climb the stairs into this multi-level play area that’s decked out with rope ladders, slides, and water cannons. From the top level, you can shoot at the riders on Bilge-Rat Barges below and take in the amazing views that overlook the park’s lagoon.

Dudley Do-Right’s Ripsaw Falls
If you’re brave enough to line up for this attraction after seeing logs come down the 75-foot drop, then be prepared for a wet and wild ride. Join Dudley Do-Right and his horse (named Horse) as they attempt to rescue sweet Nell from Snidely Whiplash. Trek through indoor and outdoor ride portions with some small drops before you plunge below sea level in the final explosive flume.

Classic comic character meet-and-greets
As you stroll through Toon Lagoon, keep an eye out for iconic cartoon characters coming to life, including Betty Boop and Popeye and his sweetheart, Olive Oyl. (If you don’t see any characters, there are still many photo opportunities among this land’s unique theming.)

Toon Lagoon games
On the walkway between Marvel Super Hero Island and Toon Lagoon, several carnival-style games, like the basketball toss and whack-a-mole, let you take a chance to try and win a prize of your choice.

Toon Lagoon – dining
Cathy's Ice Cream in Toon Lagoon

Comic Strip Cafe is a mixed bag of flavors, with something that is sure to please everyone in your group. Open for lunch and dinner, the cafe has burgers, pizza, pasta, salad, fish and chips, egg rolls, sweet and sour chicken, and more. And your family will be entertained as you eat by all the larger-than-life comics that cover the walls.

Blondie’s (quick-service)
Although this is Blondie’s catering shop, it’s Dagwood who fashions the multi-decker sandwiches that make this worth a stop. All sandwiches are made-to-order, and guests can choose from bread options, meats, cheeses, and all the toppings. If you’re looking for something hot, Blondie’s also has chili and Chicago dogs, with fries, cole slaw, or potato salad on the side.

Wimpy’s (quick-service)
With his claim to fame as Popeye’s best buddy, Wimpy is on a mission to serve the best hamburgers at this quick-service counter. A simple menu features the Wellington Cheeseburger Platter and a Vegan Supreme Cheeseburger Platter, which are both served with curly fries. Guests can also order chicken fingers, a caprese salad, or pineapple Dole Whip sorbet for dessert.

Cathy’s Ice Cream (quick-service)
No one loves ice cream more than Cathy, and she’s happy to serve up sundaes, ice cream floats, and milkshakes at her kiosk of frozen treats (featuring Ben & Jerry’s ice cream flavors).
