Anyone really looking forward to a specific ride or park that they are planning to go to that they haven’t been on/to before?
For me I’m heading to King’s Dominion and Busch Gardens Williamsburg this week and I’m super excited to ride the restored Grizzly… and hopefully, if the gods are willing, I’ll finally get on Pantheon which I’ve been to the park 3 times for and still haven’t been able to get on it.
Finally getting on Pantheon was what I was most looking forward to this season. I think it’s a better ride than Velocicoaster disregarding theming. Unfortunately the operations were pretty bad when I was there, either slow two-train ops, or agonizing one-train ops
I liked Pantheon but… I dunno. I think it was the agonizing ops, the fact that I had visited 3 times prior without being able to ride (one of those was a ticket given to me by BGW specifically so I could ride Pantheon), and the over-hype that knocked it down a bit. It’s really hard for me to see it being above VelociCoaster though… but if you pull VC out of it’s enviornment I’m not sure I’d have the same feeling.
Don’t get me wrong… Pantheon is absolutely the best in the park (Verbolten is closely second) for me… I did very much enjoy it… I just felt like it could have been more with just a little more effort.
