This flume was okey, but nothing too spectacular. The ride broke down 5 times when I was in the cue, and when we got on, it broke down on the hill, and then we were off. But the inside was how this ride got its grade. The themeing was great, with pillars smashing down towards you and the statues threatening to smash you, and then.... You fall into a wave of wonderous H2O ( a great relief from the pyrotechnics inside). But that was it. They should do more with it, sort of creat a Splash mountain set up, with multipul drops.

This was neat, but sort of a let-down. The inside part was a little short for my liking and the splash was pretty mild. The pyrotechnics were cool though (I cant lie about that) and the theming outside the ride is wonderful.

A pretty cool water ride. I was thankful to receive a hot day (making a very comfortable splashdown) and a walk on ride (or two). However, the fire effect was not working the day I went which was rather dissapointing. It really took away from the experience seeing the statues and buildings crumble without any fire. However Im sure the ride would have been kick ass if had the fire effect though.

One of the best flumes. The fire is intense, and the splash was a relief from the firey inferno in the building!

It was fun, my only complaint is that there were some parts that you could guess were gonna happen, like the statue falling, but it was still cool, and the fire is a nice touch as well!

Awsome! The effects are great, the splash is really good. And that drop is a releif to get out of that firey building!

This ride had a nice drop and a good splash. The theming was good, and the special effects were decent. It didnt have as big of a splash as BG Tampas Tidal Wave, and I liked Tidal waves drop better, but Pompeii still has a great drop and excellent theming. Overall it was a fun ride with very little waiting time.

Great effects. Fire was very very hot so getting wet on the drop was worth it. Just too short of a ride and it was only that one drop and that was all. When i went i was online for about 3 minutes.
