Romus et Rapidus (Latin pronunciation: [ˈroːmus et ˈrapidus]) is a river rapids ride operating at Parc Astérix, in Plailly, France. The ride evokes the Roman mythology tale of Romulus and Remus, the mythical founders of Rome. In 2006, a young boy fell from his raft and drowned in the ride's roaring current.[1][2]
