We got off about 10 to 15 minutes ago and they announced there was another delay. Hopefully it gets back up and running again. Just before it happened though, it had a pretty decent line. Nice to see guests are excited that it's back open.

I was waiting in the station, it busted a wheel bad lol, classic 305. They switched it out and then checked the other train and also cleaned the wheel misters off but only down like 50 minutes.
Contrary to what you may think, this ride pulls lines of that length more often than you may believe it to. Wait until Haunt when this thing has a line all the way back to FoF on Saturdays. Trust me, it’s not always a walk on…
I know it pulls lines during haunt, it’s just weird to see this ride with lines on a day during the summer.
It’s more common than you think. Matter of fact I’d be willing to bet that with yet another Saturday of comfortable weather in store, this thing will hit an hour plus wait tomorrow. Enthusiast consensuses aren’t always the truth; there may be some validity in them but to say it never has a wait and is always a walk on is a misnomer.
Also I looked at the other sides of the pillars, the only thing that stood out to me other than the Timekeeper one was this one that says “Eclipse” on the side
On flat rock it has what I thought was phases of the moon but maybe it’s phases of an eclipse? It’s right next to the snake, actually looking at flat rock going clockwise from the eclipse the animals are in the order of spider, reptile, monkey, bird, panther, and snake, which is the same order they’ve been added in so maybe a hint for the snake temple? (I know I’m reading way too far into this I’m just like the resident crazy ass conspiracy theorist for jungle x)
Here is a quick video I made today sharing our first impressions of Pantherian! Overall, we were both super pleased without much to complain about. The operations team was killing it too!

Hopefully just a simple fix if true, would suck if this goes down for a while again
Every ride has a ton of extra wheels on hand and this is a known thing for Pantherian since it’s inception so Im sure they got a shitton on hand, they can resurface the busted up wheels so it’s not a total loss when this happens.
If the lights are ever on in reptilian’s brakes before the station look down, there’s always a pile of wheels down there, the other rides have similar stockpiles but that one is more easily visible.
From what I saw earlier it seemed the paint may have clogged some of the holes for the misting tube, they were going at it with a metal bristle brush dremel thing but it overall seems like something not too difficult to fix
That's good. Figured it likely wouldn't be some multi-month issue again or anything, but thought there's a chance it may be down for a few days depending on the exact issue and how hard repairs are. Not sure how something like this wasn't discovered prior to the ride opening to the public, but good thing they're already working on fixing it
I went to try and get a night ride in and it's down again. Orange train was on the transfer with maintenance working on it. At least I got 6 rides today.
I gotta say though, the plaza looks great at dusk/night.
I gotta say though, the plaza looks great at dusk/night.
The last time I got a night ride was last haunt. It was the last ride of the night and they ended up shutting off the plaza lights to keep people from coming down. We got a ride in complete darkness, you couldn't see anything. That was single handedly one of the best experiences. There is nothing like a night ride on this beauty! So happy this beast is back!!
The same as night ride on i305
Mmm, melted urethane
Definitely felt a bad wheel on my 2nd ride in the front row, didn't know they were already doing this. Really hope they don't put trims back on the drop..
