This 50 foot (15.25m) tall Intamin shoot-the-chutes water attraction is almost as well known for its fantastic eruption of Mount Vesuvius and destruction of Pompeii theme as it is for the giant splash that soaks everyone at the end of the ride.
This Busch Gardens park is located in Williamsburg, Virginia.

They do a great job with the water treatment. Never seen a water ride where the water looks that clean and blue

As a kid me and my siblings swore this was the best ride on the face of the planet lol we made our parents ride it over and over again. Now me and my husband took our son on it this past weekend, we hadn’t rode it since we were kids. I’m not as adventurous as I used to be and felt instant regret hopping on this thing lol but the nostalgia made it all worth it and we had a blast!

I've been going to Busch Gardens fro over 20 years. There used to be twice as much fire but I'm guessing they toned it down due to complaints. Omg its so hot in there you can't wait for that splashdown.

I'm glad to see this ride is still up! As a little kid that was in love with all things history, I would ride this over and over until my family told me I needed to move on. One time they even left me alone at the ride because I was re-riding it so much lmfao.

I like the idea of warming you up before the splash. They should have a small section after the drop to "dry" you off haha.

@LegendHusky 3 ай бұрын

I really enjoyed this ride. Years ago, I went during my 8th Grade School Class Trip. We ended up riding with some Chinese tourists who kept taking photos on the ride. They finally stopped when the ride stopped near the drop. After someone on the intercom stated no photos during the ride several times. As soon as the ride started back up... they began taking photographs again. One of my friends shouted at them once we got off. One of the tourists didn't like what he said. In the end, we just laughed and moved on.

@@SeaworldOrlandoHistory completely untrue for multiple reasons Escape from Pompeii: There used to be A LOT more fire effects In the building, multiple speakers are now broken completely ruining the surrounding sound. The place actually used to fill up with “smoke” and there used to be more lighting effects Verboten: Most of the theming is completely gone, especially in the show rooms and the cue. Most of the TV’s are out, the preshow is no longer presenting. Ride wise there are multiple black light scenes that are just hidden because the lights for them are broken. The ride audio is actually a pitch lower SOMEHOW you can see the difference if you look at the POV in 2012 and the one in 2023. The audio that plays when you are at the Rhine river drop that sounds like your stepping on sticks and leaves while wind blows is no more. THEY REMOVED THE FREAKING ROOF off the drop and the “vortex” audio that plays before the second launch quietly disappeared aswell. The ride is 10x more shaky then normal
