- [4K] Escape from Pompeii is a semi- dark water flume ride at Busch Gardens Williamsburg, Virginia.
Tour of ancient ruins flume experience with plenty of fire special effects. It's kind of reminds us of former Backdraft show at Universal Studios Hollywood with all those cool fire effects.
Ride video is filmed with permission from Busch Gardens Willamsburg, Virginia. Gopro has to be secured tightly onto the wrist or a chest harness and must be approved by park management.
Such a cool concept for a ride. Loved this when I was there in the 90's. Only wish it was longer.
I don't know why everyone's complaining, usually these rides don't have any themeing at all and this one has probably the best fire effects on a ride I've seen
Probably the worst ride in the park. Always feels like its closed or only one boat going during peak season.
@Schizo Tazer what are you talking about
njdotson How many rides have you seen?🤔
Fast Forward Videos BGW is not a “cheap theme park”. They have consistently gotten awards for best landscaped and best looking park and is really well themed for its budget, including rides with great stories, sets and lighting and also really nice looking themed areas. You’re not gonna get much more themed besides Disney and Universal. You think this is a cheap theme park look at Six Flags parks, where almost all of the rides have no story and the “themed ones” are just Justice League Superhero names and a few cheap cutouts most of the time. Most of them have below average appearance and are borderline amusement parks.
This video showed more than the other one I saw, which was nice. I just wish they had added more to the ride. It's a great concept.
That was a short ride.
Long u mean
Im sure that propane budget is crazy.
the music for this ride is awesome
I almost lost my hat on this ride Luckily A Lovely young woman seated behind me caught it
One of the shortest rides I have ever seen.
they had one in Tampa that was pretty much the same but they used part of the old Jungle Cruise wanna be ride instead of some Pompeii on fire something. it closed a few years ago, the whole thing is the drop, not very exciting.
The music’s all wrong and no effects at the end ? 👀😐🔥
I love this ride! Not sure why people call it boring, but trust me it’s a lot better in person and also the reason there’s not much before the drop is for worker safety, if you look on the left you can see a door that is a control room and evacuation route so there can’t be a lot there for safety
I remember going on this and freaking out about the fire, about a month later the ride caught on fire😟
ただ暑くなって落ちるだけでワロタ
Thanks for sharing this - always enjoy your videos!
There was a statue that would topple over above the boat.. i dont see it in action any longer here
How are you complaining that this is boring? It’s an absolute classic with actual theming unlike most of these flume rides which are just as long with no theming.
Try a new Theme Park. Pick a Disney Park or Universal Studios. Then compare.
@@RabbitsInBlack then again this isn’t neither and doesn’t have anywhere near the amount of money
I was expecting more and it was a short ride 🤔🤔🤔
1:31 cooooool
Were you all there today? I was, would have been cool to see you! Pompeii wasn't working today when we went passed it. It use to be better when it was newer, a bit outdated now, but the drop and splash can still be exciting. Refreshing too on a hot day if you really get wet. Lol There is always the splash zone for none riders. Lol😜
Rare sight to see the statue actually work
Went on this when I was in high school
That's it??
I LOVE this ride! God, some of you complain a lot!
I remember there being a lot more stuff on fire when I was a kid. Maybe they toned it down for safety?
Yes like an overhead drop of something on fire
Are there any older videos of the ride?
The only ride my ex gf would ride back in 2000...lol can't believe this is still there.
We are going to falling!!!!!😱
All the scaffolding/metalwork ruins the ride and there being no pay off before the drop is pathetic.
@@Bfdifan6969 Those aren't small things....
The idea is that they were doing an excavation on the historic site. It is scenery. Not the best ride, but enjoyable in person.
I was just here! I wonder if we were there the same day?
That looks fun but it'll be hot with those fire effects lolp
Hhaha the music!!! Cool ride though
Maybe it's better if there is something like surprise fall. Looks boring 🙄
I was on this when I was younger, it is actually more entertaining when you are on it.
I been there it's fun
Greetings from Naples
Valhalla is where it's at.
My number one favriot water ride at busch gardens💜
why?
Better than Roman Rapids, you get more soaked on that? But I guess if it's the drop you like on Pompeii, I understand. 😀
I love Escape from Pompeii also
Now that's fun! :)
I went to Busch Gardens once!
(It's actually related to my closest amusement part which is Sesame Place LOL)
Needs more fire!!!! Especially at the end
Am I crazy or did there used to be a big statute that fell over top of the riders?? I seem to remember that pretty vividly from when I rode it as a kid
Me too. It scared the crap out of me.
Yeah, it's dark, but it falls at about 1:39.
I literally just went there is it reading my mond?
I want on it
I don't get this?
I need to talk with whoever did maintenance on this ride, and show them that putting that cap on the vehicle the correct way isn't difficult.
fiaier on th water

I thought the outside looked amazing but that's it, the sign said warning earth tremors there was a beam that quietly broke the fires were good but there should have at least been more models of people running and maybe some screams? Not just some pirate's of the Caribbean rip off music, and the splash I'm glad you caught it on the first part of the video, as from the ride view, 100% let down.
み、短え…
What happened? I blinked and it was over. Lol
wait thats it?
Ehm...
No :/
Admit it ... it sucks!
Admit it.. it’s more fun in person
It turned into a hunted house cuz it burned down
This ride is still open
Boring en 😍💪👍
Boring.
Let me explain. BGW is extremely cheap. I don’t mean the entry price. I mean they would spend as little money as possible on a ride and then advertise the heck out of it to increase gate attendance and sales. They are very cheap. This was when they were owned by Anheuser Busch. I don’t know if the company that bought them puts more money into their rides or not. But Anheuser Busch / Busch Entertainment division was so cheap. Look at their white water rapids. It is a joke. Pathetic low budget when they put it in the late 80’s. I heard the Park Director complain to his staff that people were leaving with money in their pocket still. So they had to do everything possible to sell cheap junk to guests before they left. He said we needed to churn the people more and get every dollar out of them. That told me everything I needed to know. Sure you are supposed to make money and be profitable. But can’t you actually make quality rides and not be so cheap?
It’s not cheap they are very expensive rides by 10$ million or higher and it’s been the most beautiful theme park for 32 years in a row and they still get awards for best theming and crap don’t complain about it
Someone had a really Small Budget.
That looks SO BORING!!!
What a short disappointing ride for probably a Forever Wait in a line!
That was a dumb ride lol
That’s the dumbest ride EVER!
I feel like this was a lost opportunity. Perhaps they had bigger ideas and ran out of money? I don't know. This is definitely too short and underwhelming. I could make a crude joke here, but let's just call it a nice effort and save ourselves the embarrassment, lol.
