Existing Water Ride Escape From Pompeii

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

Most of the overgrown plants and vines are gone!!

They usually fill and drain it at least once pre season to clean it out and test all the equipment before adding the boats.

It is going to go below freezing the next two nights, so that might have driven the decision to drain it pretty quickly.

I was in Tweedside and I saw a couple of Pompeii boats back behind Pompeii from the station so they’re at least prepping to get the ride open.

To my knowledge, that's where they usually store them when not operating. They will get put on the ride and stay on until the ride is shut down for the season. If one had a major problem, they will pull it off, otherwise they are all on all the time

There are boats on EfP.

Yeah, they were testing last week, on the 1st and 3rd

 

[Coasternerd]

It was testing yesterday too.

Looks like employee training. I'd expect this to open within the next few weeks. They usually have 4 days of training before opening, though that may have changed now that they are on a year round schedule.

Rumor has it that it's opening today.

Can confirm it opened. I was NOT expecting that.
