Alright gang, some good news. BGW is currently planning to open on March 21st according to the
park calendar.

Now, do we think Pantheon is going to try and be an opening day attraction? Or, will it get pushed back until late spring, or worse, early summer?
There's no way to tell what the world is going to look in a few months, and if current capacity restrictions stay in place, it seems like an opening day launch is out of the realm of possibility. It would make sense to hold off on opening the ride until they can drum up the maximum possible hype for the ride. The park is also notorious for missing opening day as seen with InvadR, Tempesto, Verbolten, Mach Tower, Griffon, etc... Intamin is also not known for being the most reliable manufacturer, and this is the first ride that is supposed to break the curse at BGW since Escape From Pompeii in 95'. Also, from looking at photos of the site it does look like there's a ton of work that needs to be completed over the next couple of months. *coughs*
trees *cough*
shrubbery *cough*
Anyways, totally stoked to get back to full operations again after a whole year of only half of the park being open at a time. Either way we're going to be able to ride the Rhine River Cruise again and score some sweet views of Pantheon. Fingers crossed there will be trains flying over that top hat by then.
