I don't think ive ever waited more than 15min for it. How long is a full queue line with 2 trains running?

Full queue is about 35-45 minutes. I waited in the first switch back today. Which was 35 minutes which also included a 10 minute delay. So it would have been 25 minutes.
With fast lane, we only waited 15 minutes (not including the delays) but the regular line looked about 45 minutes.
It's a shame this ride is still having quite of bit of downtime. I wanted to get a night ride in tonight, but it was down for the last two hours according to the ride ops. I waited until 8:50 before I gave up and rode Rapterra instead. Hopefully they can get the issues solved during the week and even more so this offseason.

I got in before it filled the queue up and it was about 25 min but I’d guess it was 35-40 by the time I got out. I’ve been riding it since opening weekend and I’ve never in my life had more than a station wait except for holidays or busy haunt evenings, so that was a suprise. Like I said though, glad to see the ride getting the love it deserves finally. Guess that coat of paint and new name may be paying off?
So, I am excited to say I made it to Kings Dominion for the second time this year on Saturday 8/29. I really love this park a lot. Its got a great selection of coasters, nice shaded areas, good theming and charm all its own. PLUS I rode Pantherian for the first time ever. This coaster lives up to the hype!! That first drop is great but my 2 favorite parts of the ride have to be 1; greying out coming out of the first large turn and 2; the first hard banked transition from left to right after the camelback hill. (minute marker 0:47 in the POV below). This ride really packs a punch to say the least. Also, I was expecting the ride line to be at least an hour especially considering the crowd this weekend and the fact that it has been closed all season, but the line, to my great surprise was only 15 minutes! I got some re-rides. The theming looks really great in person and there are some nice touches to the train. Good job KD.

Some sunset photos of Pantherian tonight (Sunday), from various vantage points... where the new color really "pops" at sunset.
God I’m so excited to finally see and ride this thing in 13 days. First time I’ll have ever taken a flight just to ride coasters, hopefully it’s far from the last and the weather holds out.
Definitely, definitely ride it first thing in the morning, or as soon as you see it running. It had some problems this weekend. I got to the park late tonight but it was listed on the scheduled ride closure list for the day. Apparently it ran only a couple trains with guests in the beginning of the day before shutting down.
Rode this last weekend, absolutely rips. No roughness, just constant pressure on your body lol. I loved it as 305, I adore it as Pantherian.
Backseat on this is a whipfest.

Because the conversation has now, sadly, had to take a turn back to extended downtime and away from the long-awaited re-launch of Pantherian, I just locked this thread and moved recent posts over to the Pantherian attraction thread:
