Could they have done a Pantheon+ option where it’s largely what Pantheon is plus another lap around the infield and actually theming the ride to a decent extent.
Pantheon hits the top hat and brake section not too far apart from Velocicoaster. I’m sure Pantheon will run faster with a full train but the difference will still be minimal
For an extra 8.99/moCould they have done a Pantheon+
48 inches to ride i305? DAMN I coulda ridden that when I was 8 then lol (if they had chosen the 48 in height)Yes however, atleast when I was there, this was never enforced on I305 or any other ride besides Volcano. We didn’t have a way of measuring max height at any of the rides I worked at, and the rule for Volcano was that as long as their feet weren’t flat on the floor in the station they were good to ride. Interestingly, per Intamin, the minimum height requirement for I305 is actually 48” but the park feels that 54” is more appropriate.

While I really wish Pantheon had more themeing I also never really understand the need to compare a ride at what is extensively a big regional park to that of a major international vacation resort park. The production quality is always going to be vastly different.Velocicoaster is more coaster; steadily moving forward.
Add in the immense theming and over/along the water trek, especially among the night lights of I.O.A. and it takes a big dump on Pantheon.
While this is absolutely true, we’ve seen how Busch has been cutting costs everywhere for basically no gain, so we know there is the money for any theming at all and Busch just sucks.While I really wish Pantheon had more themeing I also never really understand the need to compare a ride at what is extensively a big regional park to that of a major international vacation resort park.

They’ve added major attractions 4 out of 5 years leading up to the pandemic.While this is absolutely true, we’ve seen how Busch has been cutting costs everywhere for basically no gain, so we know there is the money for any theming at all and Busch just sucks.
Well they’re running out of time to do it. When does this thing open again?A very small percentage of coasters match up to Velocicoaster’s theming. Plus, the station is technically not complete yet.
March.Well they’re running out of time to do it. When does this thing open again?

I had thought about going this weekend given the forecast, but may hold off because of the new promotion. The forecast by itself likely results in the park being overrun this weekend, so I can only imagine the nightmare park ops are going to be over the next few days.They really must want people in the park this weekend... a free quick queue to use next summer... for every day you visit between now and sunday... are they trying to overrun the park???
