 Review of Roman Rapids @ Busch Gardens Williamsburg

Roman Rapids is a poorly designed rapids ride. The only chance you have to get wet is if you get caught under the waterfalls, which I managed to avoid. I was nervous at first because they would not let us leave things on the station, but no need to worry after all, I didnt get wet and actually used the mild ride as an opprotunity to photograph Apollos. I should be scared to bring an expensive camera on a water ride, but I considered reriding in hopes of getting more photos, now that is sad The setting is cool and there is some nice themeing here and there, but overall, its a rapids ride, and they are generally the ones that get you wet the most, but I came off of this one dry as a log in a bonfire. In the end though, this is the weakest rapids ride I have been on, and only the scenery, location and pretty brisk pace save it from a 1.

I didnt ride because it was just so cold that I couldnt imagine getting wet. Looking down from AC I didnt notice much theming and judging by your review I am glad I passed.

This is my second favorite raft ride after Popeye. But, whatever.

I may have just gotten lucky (well, unlucky I guess), I dont know, but I swear I got off dry, and usually I get "wetter" on these than flumes or boat drops. It seems to be a "hate it or love it" type ride, just judging from other reviews. Maybe I picked a bad seat, but I missed it all
coaster05, most of the themeing was subtle compared to rides like Bilge Rat Barges where they have the huge ship and such, but it was still good.

Maybe all of the effects werent working. I remember being sprayed by lots of fountains. The theming is not bad for a non-Disney/Universal park.
