Just speculation on my part, but I would bet that they'll keep on opening the coaster up for rerides in the evenings barring any long lines. Theres no point for them to not fill up the trains and it looks a bit weird if every person on social media is posting this coaster that only has the front and back few rows filled. Yesterday I, along with what seems like everyone, didn't want a middle row because we all assumed we could only get one ride. After they started letting rerides...what do you know... every row was filled.
 
BGW today we are going to busy so no rerides on Pantheon. Also BGW today let's run one train on Apollo and let the line backup.
 
Yeah, they really didn't start the re-rides until they noticed the line/queue. I think our problem is BGW is the home SEAS park for a lot more people than Florida (though Northeast families may opt for Sesame Place for littles), so they're probably thinking/thought that they'll have consistent trains like we had yesterday once we all got re-rides. Who knows. Hopefully that make this experience more enjoyable as the event goes on...


Just saw a photo of the kiosks out front with some nice size lines...glad I decided to go yesterday. Geez.

yeah but the station line didn't go pass the individual row hand rails on anything but the front or back row. Also they are running tours through the quick queue line that appear to include non members.

I keep asking myself if I made the right decision to come yesterday. Despite the temps, I think I did chose wisely

To put in perspective the wait time I got in the FRONT row line for Pantheon at 1130 and with a 20 minute shutdown was through by 1240. I got into Apollo's line at 1250 and am still have at least 3 trains in front if me for a middle row. Retide restrictions make little sense when it is the shortest ride line for a coaster.

it's my understanding that rerides have the potential of starting around 3pm. we will see if this happens or not. if i had to guess, probably not but im hopeful for the people at the park today
 
Couldn't they feed those yet to ride through QQ/exit once rerides start? I'm really not planning to rope drop this thing, if I can even get down there, so I would both get worst and best impact from allowing rerides.

I didn't go yesterday, as I am a legacy premier with a lot of Platinum benefits (11 park access), and didn't feel like taking a chance on not being able to ride.

As for today, I am not at the park, but if they start rerides, I may show up around 5:30. My thinking is thay by then, most folks will have had it with what sounds like a total shitshow today.

They are feeling none pass member tours through the QQ today

What is the process for getting on during previews? Is it just someone is collecting the vouchers outside the entrance, or do they also require you to show your membership in addition to the voucher to get on?
 
Do you have actual confirmation that they aren't members? Or just assuming because they are in a tour. A lot of members book tours.
Agreed. That said, wish I would have bought a tour for this weekend (they are sold out until near the end of the month). $55 member price for the tour combined with quick queue access, including Pantheon, is a steal!

Can't say for sure but it's hard to believe that every member of the dozen or so that I personally witnessed was a member.
 
Planning to head to the park tomorrow. Main goal is to ride Pantheon, walk around and enjoy the weather, and let our kiddos ride a few smaller things (depending on what is open). Based on what is happening today... should we go at open (and risk the rush to the kiosks?)... or wait till later in the afternoon (around 2pm) to head to the park? They are only open till 6. I kind of figured the "majority" of the people heading to the park for the coaster this weekend would be there today... but tomorrow is looking like nice weather.

I’m planning on doing the same, but riding other coasters first before those lines get long
 
Kevin just arrived on seen hoping that means rerides might start soon.
