According to @Dylon, Pantheon just reopened with single train ops.
It appears that the other train was removed because of restraint-related issues.

I have said ot before all new Intamins should be required to have a maintenance team stationed at tge Station for at least the first month.
Glad I skipped the park today and went Friday instead.
In my experience, they usually sit just out of sight in their UTV's ready for the call. Having maintenance in the booth during all hours doesn't display confidence to unsure guests. Gives the appearance that the ride is unreliable (regardless if it is or not) to the GP who doesn't know any better.
Can confirm. The guy was there on the scene about 2 mins after the shut down.
We also had a guy standing right behind us in line who works for BG coaster maintenance. He was narrating what was happening to the others in his party and we got to listen in.
He also said what you said ControlsEE.We (husband & I) were the lucky ones to board the train, only to be asked to step back into the queue. Never had that happen to me before.
Waited a total of 3 hours (for 2 rides on it). Drove 6 hours in one day.
My official, professional, thorough review of the ride:
… Meh.
Curious to see how this change works out, especially for those who previously RSVP'd for either Saturday or Sunday and want to also take advantage of attending a day (or two) earlier. Once booked, RSVP's could not be changed, so will the kiosks be updated to allow members to redeem their vouchers a day (or two) earlier? I had tried to print my voucher when I was at the park this past Friday in order to save time this coming weekend, and the kiosk told me it could only be printed on the day my reservation is set for, which in my case is Sun 3/20.Just got the below update (note the change in RED) on next weekend's VIP event, which I already RSVP'd for...
Party Bonus: RSVP to one day and get access to all three party dates (March 18, 19, or 20). Plus, you’ll get UNLIMITED RIDES on Pantheon! (You just need to hold onto your wristband.)
The Pantheon Passport to Thrills celebration includes:
- Entry for all three party dates
- Unlimited rides on Pantheon
- One complimentary cupcake
- One commemorative Pantheon pin
- First opportunity to purchase exclusive Pantheon merchandise
- Live entertainment and much more!
RSVP is required no later than March 11 to be a part of the excitement!
I'm sure it will work out just fine because BGW operations are so reliably well organized and communicated........
Not!
Ride system isn't everything..... Also, everybody isn't an enthusiast.
I get a lot more "WHOA" reactions from non-thoosie friends on S&S Free Spins than you'd realize honestly. Certainly more than Pantheon has received. Average park goers don't give a rats ass about "backwards launching ejector airtime."
Exactly.... and when you add in the theme of Tumbili it really looks a lot more impressive than Pantheon to an average park guest. Pantheon really struggles from a theme perspective -- especially when it's in a park where everything seems to be well themed..... To an average person it might look like they don't think much of it.
I rode Pantheon with several different groups of people I met in line last Friday night. The 3rd group were of the 'had no idea what was going to happen' camp and were definitely surprised based on the comments and amount of screaming I witnessed.
"I don't think we're going to make it!"
"It goes backwards?????”
"Omg! We're upsidedown!"
They seemed to be pretty impressed when it was over! Had me rolling in my seat while they discussed it when we were waiting to get back to the station
There was also an adorable elementary school aged boy that I shared some coaster facts with that went on and on about the ride going backwards and how the launches worked once I explained it. The adults seemed impressed too and asked a few follow up questions.
I have no idea what people think of Tumbili cuz no one knows what I'm taking about when I mention it

This post made me think, I miss those days of not knowing what's coming on a coaster.I rode Pantheon with several different groups of people I met in line last Friday night. The 3rd group were of the 'had no idea what was going to happen' camp and were definitely surprised based on the comments and amount of screaming I witnessed.

That was one of my favorite things about my trip to Universal Orlando last month. I was only kind of familiar with Hulk and Hagrid's layouts, but everything else was completely new to me. Most of all, half of Velocicoaster is hidden in the paddock (I had seen a pov or two but I wasn't familiar with the layout) so that was an amazing thing to experience firsthand, live.
Having a coaster out in the open like Pantheon and just looking at it before riding is very similar to going to a concert but looking at the band's setlist from last night before you get there. Ruins some of the fun.
I hope that makes sense.
