What's up with the fence piece that looks like it's blocking the ramp? Assuming it's a gate so only disabled folks requiring the accommodation use the ramp?
^Based on the exact same fence piece blocking the bridge, it sure looks like a temporary "hey don't cross this" fence...
For any one wondering this is what the new map looks like (Via bgw_enthusiast on Instagram)
"Anticipated Opening 2021" is such awkward and noncommittal wording. So bizarre.
SeaWorld is doing it with all their upcoming coasters
Of course accounting for the fact that these are unusual circumstances and the park having a plan for when to open the ride, do these delays do anything to further damage intamin’s spotty reputation among American parks? Perhaps I’m overthinking it, maybe it’s a nonissue, and maybe it’s too early to tell, but are they hurt by yet another late opening?
I think that'd be a far easier question to answer if there wasn't a shutdown for the pandemic both in park operations and all of the financial woes between the park and the contractors.
Additionally, we don't know if the lack of testing at the moment is an Intamin having issues thing or the park holding off until it's clear they know they can open it.

Am I the only one who always expected a series of delays and technical difficulties, simply because it is an Intamin product? I thought was part of the brand experience.
With you there. Being only the second mid-course switch means a LOT of testing in our future. The fact that the train is still tarped is not a very good sign for those looking to ride soon.
i don’t think any of the issues i hear they are facing right now are caused or at fault of intamin, covid really, and i mean really screwed this ride functionally and thematically
I’m waiting for the new track to show up.
I have been informed with fairly decent odds of the info being good that the plan at least as Thursday is to have ride testing on Pantheon by the middle of this week. Fingers crossed that info is good.
I’ve heard the same thing.
