Ohhh, for some reason, I don’t remember ever seeing it when I rode it last year, but i probably just didn’t notice it. Yeah, hopefully they put some theming on there!

The employees were in the station testing it today. It’s still missing the inspection from Hanover county though. I got a decent shot at the beginning of this video showing the employees in there today.

Jesus it flew over that airtime hill
No state inspection sticker yet but there were about 10+ supervisors/ride operators in the station, it looks like they were just sending trains for training and not non stop testing like yesterday
Apologies if this is spam or something, but im genuinely curious, how long does inspecting a ride usually take? not even something like pantherian just in general. always wanted to know
Well at least they’ve already prepared the wait time sign for what it’s going to be on the day this thing opens
An hour or two.
The county/state just likes to make sure the thing has restraints, wheels and any buildings involved with the ride are in acceptable condition for guests. I'd be more concerned with Kings Dominions standard procedure on this particular commissioning. They may be treating it as a new ride given the work done, but doubtful. Water dummies are kinda a giveaway for that though, which I don't believe we've seen.
Biggest thing they look for is maintenance logs and other records. Watch it go around a few times. Bada-bing bada-boom, sticker.
According to this reddit comment, people were spotted riding today

No fucking way... That means it's approved by the county! People can't ride if it's not approved!
LFGGGGGGGGGGGGG

I think @CoasterBroCam just peed their pants a little...
How’s the queue and station? I don’t expect too much change but the theming effort looks more significant than I305 had
How much will the ride be swarmed this weekend from everyone that has been deprived of riding it?
I hope the content on the forums doesn’t dry up now that it’s open. I’d hate to lose the deep discussion that has resulted from the autistic fanboys bemoaning the lack of a mediocre Intamin.
Well…I guess this is a goodbye for the forum…no more discussion if it will reopen in 2026
