I was thinking about heading up to BGW on Thursday to ride Pantheon for the first time, but all this talk about the wind has me slightly worried. Forecast is calling for a "Northwest wind 11 to 14 mph, with gusts as high as 22 mph." Is that windy enough to shut it down?
I dont know if anyone got a straight answer on what the max gust the ride can take. If it were any other coaster, I'd say you're fine, but at this point, it seems that Pantheon's wind resistance is much lower than the other coasters.

I could blow on the coaster and it shuts down for wind 😂

It's right on the edge of the figure I have heard so it's definitely possible.
 
The first part before the second launch is highly underrated. Not only do you get some great hangtime on the winder but some decent positive Gs with the helix and small pops of off axis airtime.
 
I'd assume you're being facetious, but in case you're not - it's possible, but highly improbable given that just behind the fence next to DVC is the end of the service drive for the adjacent restaurant.
Actually looking at the overhead that is not out of the realm of possibility. I 100% don't think that is WHY it's being removed and don't see why the park would want to do so after they already built the bridge but it would be doable.

Hence possible - I never indicated they can't make it happen, but more make the assumption they won't.
