I’m not sure where to post this, but Pantherian now has a hospital under 2 hours away. Maybe this is the last of the long delays when it needs a part.

I believe this has been there for a while, but it appears they have expanded their space.
Looks like you are correct, my bad.
Intamin Ltd. (USA) offers new services and expands - Intamin Amusement Rides
Intamin Ltd. recently completed a major facility expansion at its Glen Burnie, Maryland location
www.intamin.com
It does seem like they are making a concentrated effort to be more responsive.
Isn't the whole problem, and the reason this seems to spend a portion of the year closed every year, the fact that I305 doesn't use "components commonly used across multiple ride systems?" Seems like this means very little for I305, maybe for other rides it could mean less downtime though.
I hope not
Looks like the theme work is complete now
I genuinely can't get over how much I hate how bright those letters are, ugh...
If we’re complaining about the color of the sign matching the color of the track, I think we may have truly lost the plot…
Do you also hate how vibrant orange the track is?
They mention that it includes components commonly used across multiple ride systems, which is probably just to cover 95% of their clients’ use cases, and I read that as in addition to other key parts. I bet Intamin considers it very strategic to have a backlog of their more specialized components used by SF, and are realizing how much more important it is to keep SF as a whole happy now that it makes up so much of the domestic market share. Especially after last year’s exodus of problematic rides.
This expansion might even be a direct response to the merger, who knows, but given the current state of affairs, SF could have said that this was the last time they’ll repair Pantherian if the repair necessitates months of downtime and is incredibly costly. At the end of day, it’s up to Intamin to decide what belongs in their “strategic inventory”.
No, but the letters just look like a bit of an eyesore. I liked how it was more faded and looked more natural with jungle X.
If were going technical like a jungle then shouldn't you also think the track should he a faded orange?
1. Pantherian is now listed as SBNO on RCDB, wonder what took them that long to list it as SBNO since its been down all year
2. Calling it now. They're gonna open it during haunt and say "well technically it's still the summer season"

The track is fine to be as bright as it can be, but I feel like the buildings/signs and stuff should be faded like a jungle.
This sorta reflects a fundamental misunderstanding of Jungle X's lore.
In lore, things like stylized attraction signage is something that has been added to the temples in the "present day" by the Whey Foundation to aid in guest navigation of the Jungle X site. The glyphs and whatnot are parts of the ancient ruins as discovered in 1935 by Gerald Winston Whey—those should look ancient. Ride signage is a new addition added to the site ahead of its public debut in 2022—it should look new.

It’s one guy running the site who occasionally has odd criteria for SBNO. Kingda Ka was marked SBNO until the top hat came down, Road Runner Railway doesn’t have a former status of “In Storage” for 2020, and El Toro wasn’t SBNO after either of its season ending incidents.
There was a time when Premier Rides was just mere miles from Intamin's US offices. Intamin is in Glen Burnie, MD while Premier was in Millersville, MD. They've since moved into Baltimore.

If the spool is still not on, I feel no amount of theming work can give tells about when it'll open. :/
