They sent the “riders” home at about 11:15 (with a promise of a free pass for their trouble), but they did bring media in to do interviews, etc. and it’s possible they ran the ride at some point during a window in the early afternoon.

This is correct! I was in the 2nd session at 2:00 and we still went through our session with plenty of starts and stops due to weather and a more “stripped down” event.
They are continuing with running this evening should the weather keep cooperating.
Has gone down 2 times so far lol but they are trying and have been trying to run it
As I hoped it’s not very crowded but as mentioned lots of technical difficulties
So can we expect BGWfans coverage of tomorrow's opening?

Yesterday night was the perfect ending to member previews. Virtually a station wait all evening, an expected amount of Intamin ride faults, and overall good weather. Time to marathon everything else while Pantheon has all the lines for the rest of the Summer

Since @Zachary is chickening out I am here to wrap #Pantheonwatch crowds are light with parking currently limited to England and France lots.

It IS in your Title, after all! Thanks for taking one for the team.
...T-minus 1 hour till opening, then we can make a whole new thread about it in the attractions tab

With all of these various pre-opening rides, when is the actual public opening? I thought that was today?
We've actually taken to waiting even longer. We now try to wait until opening-related discussions die out before we open the structured thread. The justification for that is that we don't want the first 20 pages of an attraction's thread to be nothing but discussion of initial crowds, downtime, etc. Tumbili doesn't have a thread yet for this same reason.
Not sure if that was mentioned anywhere yet. Last Saturday someone slipped on the stairs at the Pantheon exit (right turn, instead of going down the ramp to the left).
He slipped down like 2 or 3 steps with his feet and then hit the corner of the steps with his back. Looked like he was in quite a bit of pain as it took him a while to get back up.
They blocked off the stairs with 2 employees afterwards.
Not sure if they implemented any long-term corrective action for this, but the steps are quite steep and don't seem to feature much in ways of slip protection.
I could see this causing more issues down the line.

It was not blocked yesterday but there was a typical yellow "CAUTION slippery" sign there. The steps do feel awfully small there, I will add.
