I was a little underwhelmed personally, but I only got one ride and it was in row 2 and it had just opened and very cold out. The beginning section was fun, and the swing launch was very intense every direction, but I was disappointed with the force/airtime on the rest of the ride. But this could be very different under different conditions.
Asked a supervisor about the reride policy going forward and was basically told we make it up as we go.

Can’t even be mad with an answer that honest.
No but when I pressed him as an angry Unlimited Member pointing out that the quote on the event was that "Platinum members receive ONE ride before others" and I was watching people walk over the bridge turn around and be immediately passed back in the answer from a PR perspective should not be be we make it up as go.
This ride is incredible. Easily the best ride in the park and it's between this and IG for best ride at a SEAS park. 100% worth the wait in my opinion. Not happy about the wait but totally worth it.
I would have loved to ride more than twice, but the cold makes it less enjoyable
Lembke was there and saw that only the first and last cars were being filled, so after his interview with Coaster Studios they started letting us back on. That's when the trains really started filling up. Hopefully they realize their initial set up was hot garbage and start adopting the same policy as the sister parks, otherwise I imagine it'll be more of the same. Long lines and empty-ish trains. I ended up getting 7 in and I agree with most - this thing is amazing.
Looks like Sunday could be fugly at the park if they have to shut Pantheon down in high winds. Forecast below is for Williamsburg, and wind speeds are at ground level...
Sunday - Mostly cloudy, with a high near 80. Breezy, with a southwest wind 10 to 15 mph increasing to 16 to 21 mph in the afternoon. Winds could gust as high as 31 mph.

Ride won't shut down unless winds are sustained around 40mph, shouldn't be an issue
Do you think they will let people get rerides at some point tomorrow?
Like most things, it really all comes down to the supervisors' discretion. If they see the line is getting short, they probably will let people ride again for the rest of the night.
Optics wise changing policy on a whim is opening a can of worms the policy needs to either be rerides are allowed or they are not and PR wise when they opened that door tonight changing it back is shutting the door after the cow is out.
Not sure if anyone has mentioned this yet, but I am EXTREMELY not looking forward to standing in the initial queue after the sign during the hot summer months. It smelled horrible today and it was cold and I briskly passed by.
I rode twice, in daylight and after dark. They are like two different rides. I personally enjoyed day better. The night ride seemed so much faster and way more intense. It's very dark over there! Really is a great ride though. Very smooth. I really enjoyed the spike. Very surprised by the number of ejector spots. Wish i could have ridden more since no wait, didn't even have to get off sometimes, but too intense for my motion issues to repeat.
