Escape From Pompeii

The beginning of the season...
...and the end.
Oh how some things change over six and a half months. Close to the same angle; almost the same time of day (1 1/2 hours apart).

Six and a half months can have an odd effect on the sun, the second picture makes Pompeii look a little more aged.
There is some neat-looking art at the top of the lift. Problem is the awning is blocking us from seeing the whole picture...
The best I have seen thus far is this pic Zachary linked to earlier in the thread:
You can see somewhat if you zoom in, but does anyone have pictures of this area so we can finally see the entire thing clearly?

Just sayin' Pompeii looks amazing in that picture. Like the landscaping is just mindblowingly awesome and beautiful.

From a college trip back in 1997...Alpengeist's opening weekend.
Have always loved the water rides; whether they had water blasters/sun dials or not!!
Anyone see this video this morning posted on Screamscape?

Made me think of the indoor fire elements in Pompeii. Oh the possibilities.

I have been thinking for a while about the possibility of finally getting a good POV of this ride. I know the basics of the park rules about filming on rides, such as wearing a chest harness camera, and getting permission. Many people have tried to get a good POV of this ride, but that is very hard to do for several reasons. For one thing, getting permission to film is one thing, but on this ride, they have to tell the person in the control tower that you have permission to film, Because otherwise, they can stop the ride if you start filming without permission.
Does anyone have any other advice for filming the ride, such as camera settings. I think it is most important to have the lighting right, and to get a wide angle view. Also, I wonder if you could ask a ride operator if one of the special effects are working. That way, you won't have to waste your time aiming the camera at something that isn't working.

Look at the freshly painted pool of water. A nice bright dark blue that really pops.
I love opening weekend Pompeii rides. No water Cannons and a clean pool full of chemicals and chlorine. Just like Riffle Rapids..... Did anybody see if they changed anything like shut off an effect?
I wont ride this again until they get rid of those stupid cannons, ruin the entire ride.
I honestly think that those water blasters are hurting the ride's attendance. Pompeii was never designed to get you drenched, but misted. I lose all desire to ride when I see some idiot standing at a button with a handful of tokens.
That is absolutely true, at least in my case. I haven't ridden Pompeii since they first added those hoses.
