Project 2022: Pantheon

[rswashdc]

I don't think they BGW opening Pantheon on the same day that KD opens would be anything more than a well-timed marketing event, certainly not a death blow.

If anything, that'd probably encourage KD marketing to ramp up their efforts - assuming that happens, there's still a net positive.

Opening on the same day would have roughly zero impact in either park's bottom line. Few attendees are making plans solely on what the opening day of a new ride is, and even the ones that are won't change their medium and longer term plans based on such an event.

From a pretty good source, expect some testing to begin again next week as it warms up. By the end of the month there will definitely be some visible testing going on.

Currently on the train. There’s an employee in the station by a big white panel. And there’s someone on the launch track (I assume it’s the first launch?)

Right before the “Minerva” portion.

Where is the train at—still in the maintenance bay?

It was uncovered & appeared to be on the track in the station. I’m not an expert, but this is what it appeared to be for me.

When I rode it was still in maintenance. But at like 6:10 I was on Alpengeist and definitely saw some movement over at the site.

Just left the park. Train was in the maintenance bay. But did anyone notice the work being done to drachen fires station? Looks like panting/ clearing out

I never realized until now how much space there is between seats. You're really gonna feel free-flying on this thing ?

It's following COVID protocols.

So, looking forward to this weekend, will we have eyes on the site each day? My current intention is to be there on Friday—definitely expect some #PantheonWatch coverage then. Will others be there Saturday and Sunday to keep an eye on things?

I probably will

So the more I look at Pantheon, the more I think it will have a longer ride duration than a lot of the other coasters. What do you guys think? Then again, it is supposed to be really fast...
