Scaffolding is visible at Popeye & Bluto’s Bilge-Rat Barges in Toon Lagoon at Universal Islands of Adventure.
Popeye & Bluto’s Bilge-Rat Barges Refurbishment
Popeye & Bluto’s Bilge-Rat Barges is temporarily closed through March 15, 2025 for routine maintenance. Near the Islands of Adventure lagoon, scaffolding is around a pole holding a bird’s nest. This is next to Me Ship, The Olive, which is also closed for the refurbishment project.
Crew members were working on the ship’s deck Thursday morning. One was standing on a ladder, working underneath the stairs. Another appeared to be working on the stairs.
Being a water raft ride, it’s normal for Popeye & Bluto’s Bilge-Rat Barges and subsequently Me Ship, The Olive to close for a few weeks at the beginning of the year for regular maintenance.
