Let me start off by saying that Escape From Pompeii is the best Intamin shoot-the-chute Ive been on. That being said, Intamin ones arent nearly as good as Hopkin ones in many areas. The indoor fire part is excellent and the fire effects work flawlessly. Many of the scenes are extremely well done and theres one that gets me everytime. After the scorching experience inside, the splash at the bottom gets everyone in the boat soaked cooling them off. However, prior to the splash, the drop just isnt that good. Its smaller than ones of Hopkins ones and it just seemed too slow. The theming makes this ride memorable, but other than that it is a pretty weak ride.
