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

Perception definitely matters in interpretation as I would have guessed that Pantheon was much shorter. I guess the time Pantheon spends Tempestoing back and forth adds up quite a bit.
 
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.
48 inches to ride i305? DAMN I coulda ridden that when I was 8 then lol (if they had chosen the 48 in height)

Velocicoaster is more coaster; steadily moving forward.
Add in the immense theming and over/along the water trek, especially among the night lights of Universal and it takes a big dump on Pantheon.

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.

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.

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???

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.
