rode rapterra several times at ACE spring con last weekend and could not believe how bumpy it was in the back row, outside seat. it wasn't uncomfortable or painful, just jarring. big, pronounced bumps/jolts throughout pretty much the entire ride. if i was KD i would be looking to fix this.

Yeah, we rode front but noticed a definite "rattle", and several other attendees talked about it. Nothing terrible but noticeable for such a new coaster. I could see how it was worse in the back.

Does anyone know if Pantherian is open yet?

"Pantherian

This attraction will open summer 2025"

From the website. So no.

Thanks John. I did see the website posting from the park. I've been hearing it's getting close to opening. When I check it out on "ride times" all it says is open. For the other major parks I go to this site the times have been accurate. Normally if it's open, there would be a time. I was just looking for someone that has been there or a local...

There is another theme park forum which has a thread dedicated to following the status of Pantherian, but I don't think I'm allowed to link it here.

Thanks Amy, I'll check that out. I'll be there soon, so I'll post an update. Just wanted some advance info.

The latest from that thread is "close to opening but still actively working on things."  I realized that I could have said that in my other reply LOL.

Went to the park on Saturday, August 2nd for the first time in 7 years. Park was busier than I've ever seen it but again, I haven't been in 7 years. When I used to consistently go down, the place was almost always deserted. Wait times ranged from 15 minutes to 1.5 hours, we selectively avoided rides due to their wait times (Skipped FoF, Tumbili, Backlot, Apple Zapple, and Reptillian) Longest wait was Raptera of course. Grizzly is incredible with the re-track, Twisted Timbers is still incredible, Dominator has developed a pretty severe rattle in the back row, and Raptera shook me in a way I've never felt any other coaster do. I was in the back row, right side outer seat. Everyone else I rode with raved about it, said it was forceful and smooth. I walked off with a massive headache just asking myself "How in the hell is a brand new B&M this shakey?" I figured it was just a bad seat, and reading through this thread, yeah, seems like the back row outer seats are just not the place to ride. 


Pantherian did not test at all, I also did not see any work being done.
