Romus et Rapidus
Romus et Rapidus is the rapids ride in the Roman area. In round boats you're sent down a wild river towards Rome. On the park's Dutch-language website it's called Romulus en Rappedus.
The concept
According to the park, the river is the best way to travel in Rome. But the Gauls have thoroughly sabotaged the journey. What should be a gentle little trip turns into a soggy affair.
The Experience
You sit with a small group in a round boat that spins in the current and the waves. Who gets the wettest depends on how the boat turns. Laughter and splashing guaranteed, or so the park promises.

Bring a poncho
The Gauls have rigged the route with traps. According to the park, the trip quickly turns into a shower.
Not in winter
In 2026 Romus et Rapidus closed for the winter on 11 October. Check the website for the 2027 dates.
Shorter queues
This attraction is part of Filotomatix, the park's paid queue-jump system. You buy it online or in the app, on top of your ticket (as of November 2026).
Visitor information
From 1.00 metre you can ride accompanied by an adult. From 1.40 metres you can ride on your own. This attraction is part of Filotomatix, the park's paid coupe-file (queue-skip) system. You buy it online or in the app, on top of your ticket (as of November 2026). With Baby Switch, parents don't have to queue twice: one parent rides, the other waits with the child and then boards without queuing. Ask a member of staff. Wheelchair users take a lift to the station.
Winter scenery in the queue
During Noël Gaulois, the Romus et Rapidus queue becomes the setting for les jardins merveilleux du Père Noël, an illuminated walk with snowy scenes and Father Christmas's village.
