  • 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.

    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.

    This was one of the best themed water rides I had been on. Yes it is short, but those fire effects were amazing, and you felt it too! There were collapsing beams too! Great ride. Amazingly my wife and I didn't get very wet on it. I think we went on it only twice. The second time we did get more wet, but luckily it was one of our last rides of the night before we left the park.

    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
