In the not to distant future, the height requirement at Popeye & Bluto's Bilge Rat Barges will be lowered from 48" to 42". This is a result of guest feedback and some great work by engineering to insure the same levels of guest safety.
Previously, there was one large seatbelt for every two guests on the raft. If you notice, each guest now has their own smaller seatbelt. That way if someone who is 42" tall is sitting next to a "larger" adult, they have their own seatbelt and are safely secured in the seat.
Most modifications are complete on the rafts as of this weekend. Final signoffs and signage changes are in the works. Hopefully the 42" height requirement will go into effect in the next 3 weeks.
