HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. . new signs going up today, to warn that the Railroad might not operate consistently due to how close to the tracks the construction work is: OMG. . I love this park & Park President.

Management *hates* this park. .we never get anything. (Mgmt spends lots of $$ repainting and repairing areas of the park) Management *hates* this park. . .we never get any new rides. (Mgmt announces new ride, a very unique one in the Six Flags chain) Management *hates* this park. ..it's not a coaster, and it's not the largest version of this ride avaialbe (Yes, but it's a unique ride in the Six Flags chain, and will give thrill seekers another specific reason to come to THIS Six Flags park) Management *hates* this park. . the queue is going to be boring.

^ and to add, in that picture it certainly looks like the seats are front/back on each arm. . so a total of 16 riders per cycle (8 per arm). in other words, the *exact* same capacity that Wonder Woman Golden Lasso Coaster has at Fiesta Texas, when it's operating with two trains (as it often does).

I have a decent job with good pay, so no, I won't drive 10 hours to visit Six Flags St. Louis. I'll fly and rent a car. not only do I have good friends that live in St. Louis (I'm flying to St. Louis in May, actually to visit with one of them, and we're going to hit several parks on our way to King's Island), but St. Louis also has: An absolutely *incredible* zoo A pretty amazing Museum of Fine Art (just up the hill you can walk to from the zoo) City Museum (which is worth a visit to St. Louis on it's own) Grant's Farm (that has FREE BEER samples) and that's not even looking at the Arch, or the historical sites near it. oh. .and yeah, a pretty decent Six Flags there too. so sorry, all I hear is whining and complaining.

Still better than Pantheon's theming.

It all started when STL Leadership denied Disney to build a Park here in the mid 60s

Valleyfair, Great Escape, Frontier City, Worlds of fun, MIA, and Dorney say Hi

Even into the early-to-mid 90's the A/C worked. Not just in Eagle's line but many other rides at Six Flags. The good old days. They left those A/C's there for many many years.

I love how low to the ground it is. More coasters need to be that way.

Well that’s subjective. But if that’s the case then someone better tell Universal that their marketing would be more effective for Velocicoaster if the track was neon orange

Pantheon is fantastic! Rode it Friday during the previews six times. It was cold but very worth it after all those years waiting and looking at that intamin beauty sitting in its field. The backwards section is not to be downplayed. I had never quite encountered "backwards launching ejector airtime" before until Pantheon and now it's all I want. But yeah the ride is great, the Zero G Winder has nice hangtime. The small outer banks transitioning to the launch track are pretty fun and funky, then when it gets to the swing launch it really picks up the pace and when you start going backwards from the top hat the ride just starts going bananas for a minute. The spike is really tall and you certainly realize that in the back car. The small airtime hill on the backwards pass and the final pass is FANTASTIC with ejector air time. Some minor air at the top of the top hat. The drop is great nothing too wild but still fun and steep enough. The large outer bank turn is very floaty and funky but not quite what I was expecting in terms of forces when I first saw it, I chalk that up to the fact it was in the 40s when I was there but I still found it really fun which is really all that matters. The stall is fun feels more extended and sustained than VelociCoasters and has head choppers but in terms of forces largely the same. Then the head chopper under the drop is a very cool visual and the small wave turn at the end is a great way to end the ride with a bang. I certainly enjoyed Pantheon, new BGW king for me for sure. The ride is rather bare bones in terms of theming/presentation and there is certainly a smell of cow poop as you cross the bridge but at the end of the day in the grand scheme of things I didn't consider it much different than Apollo's Chariots set up and just let it go. I prefer VelociCoaster personally but as an attraction that ride is tough to beat. You could make the argument if you stripped both coasters bare that Pantheon is better for sure but unfortunately for Pantheon, VelociCoaster is not stripped bare and covered with Comcast $s. Overall Pantheon is fantastic and worthy of a visit to BGW alone. I can't wait to ride many times this summer.

It's a war crime. Tatsu, presented by Nickelodeon Slime Time Live. I also noticed that Medusa's repaint is going to be bright orange and green too. I think American Dream Mall had a crap load of Nick Universe paint left over and sold it to Six Flags for cheap.
