Existing Water Ride Escape From Pompeii
- Thread starter Zachary
- Start date
I can see how somebody who knows the least amount of info about amusement parks would freak out seeing all that fire shooting around. You can definitely tell the technology isn't very new. I on the other hand love it and want to ride Pompeii every time I go when it's open!

Someone send this guy to Uni and put him on the mummy coaster
I'm not sure how someone can ride a ride that is themed after a famous VOLCANO ERUPTING and think there won't be convincing effects. What did they expect? The seven dwarfs dancing around a hokey red led effect? In all seriousness, if they did infact have a panic attack on the ride, I truly do feel bad for them. When I was young I didn't like the ride because of all the fire and even had a panic attack the first time on Volcano at KD because of the fire effect at the top (plus them 90's LIMs are hella scary to an 8 year old).
Him
"They should put a warning sign out front."
some one responded
"at the entrance to the ride there is a brown sign with warnings and ride restrictions. It does mention the effects used in the ride."
him
"Well in bold letters. But then that would give it away. I guess you want genuine screams of death and terror."

This guy should probably seek professional help.
They Finally fixed them the other day so they point forwards and go under the sign.
I had my best ride on Pompeii in a long time. Full soundtrack, every effect and "near-miss" operational, mist was cranked to high at the end.
I forgot how neat it can be when it actually works!

Hope you got your 2021 rides in on Pompeii, the ride along with Log Flume is now listed as closed for the season on the website. There was a time in previous years in the September timeframe where Pompeii was open but only during the daytime before HOS started. Looks like this was a good opportunity for park to leverage this staffing for HOS attractions and to of course save on their natural gas bill! ;-)
This picture (via @AlpenChrist97 ) got me thinking:
How cool would a projection on EfP year long be? In the summer as it get's dark you can do a really cool thing and make the projection get the building to look like new, and every few trips through the outside can "destruct" like the interior. Then during HOS it can be done to reflect the house that's inside. During CT it can be made to look like the light strings, and maybe get a themed show. In the spring it can get a new theme as well.
I think it would make a really great use of technology they have used and liven up a rather "dead" area of the park.
Definitely a better location the the clock.

Brilliant idea. Have lava flowing out and everything. Now i really want this!
I thought they were doing at least colored lights on it for most events.

What the heck for at that location?
Crews appeared to be prepping it to and the boats have been moved out of storage snd ar visible behind the building.
Only reason I can think of placing a camera there is if they have had issues with boats stalling there and want to monitor that spot
