@BGWnut you’ve repeatedly said that they need an attendance level that would justify Pantheon opening to pull the trigger, so I apologize if this comes off as interrogative but could you clue us in to what that number would be?
Project 2022: Pantheon

I'm pretty sure that the current restrictions actually exclude the park from using theaters in capacity calculations.
Could you imagine the outrage, if BGW did that?
But also I think you would find that BGW would make more money off of it by being open and getting people to spend $90 on a single day ticket and then buy food while at the park.
@BGWnut the issue is we don’t know when they will be able to do that.
Also on the outrage part: it’s usually the vocal minority that are the problem. I’d bet more people would pay an up charge for something like that. Even if they just did what @Zachary suggested of members only can ride; and non-members seeing it run will wonder how to get on it.

I wish I had a specific number but I don't have one. I just know that the current restrictions aren't high enough. My guess would be somewhere in the 10,000-12,000 range. But that's just a guess.
Indoor theaters are banned, not outdoor ones.
From EO: Any ride, attraction, or theatre at an amusement park that is located indoors, or has queue lines indoors, must remain closed. The amusement park mayopen indoor restaurants, concessions, gifts shops or retail spaces, and restrooms. On site retail, recreation and fitness, cabins, and food establishments must follow the requirements and guidelines specific to those establishments.
i was gonna drive up to bgw tomorrow and try and catch testing, but the weather isn’t favorable for it and i doubt it will occur if we saw weather similar to today, so this weekend is a possibility for testing, depending on how cold it gets, hopefully we will catch some soon
If they can test in this weather, that's a good sign for the ride being available in colder seasons.
Technically, a rollback on the top hat should happen every ride.
If Pantheon is only available for memberships, I definitely wouldn't go to BGW. To go, have it be open. and not be able to ride it would be super disappointing. If it had a soft opening, I certainly wouldn't go on the soft opening dates knowing that I couldn't ride it, so if that's the case for a longer period of time than your normal soft opening, then I'm not going that entire time. Seems like doing that would reduce their revenue, not increase it, because I'm sure others would also choose not to go for the same reason. Lost single day ticket sales. I'm too far away to get a membership. I'm looking at maybe one visit in a season. Now, having said that, I'm also definitely not going until I have the full vaccine, so I suppose it's moot.
looks like not much going on today, looks like an off weekend, this week i’ll be stopping by the park a lot and try and catch some testing from the ramp, fingers crossed
Back and forth the crane goes... wonder what it’s doing ??
