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 booked a time to ride the EJ Hill coaster at MassMOCA.
How’d you score that? Def let us know how it is after you ride 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.
also El Toro reopening
Honestly my goal for this year is just to actually get on a rollercoaster, and it’s not looking like even that will happen!
Wish we lived somewhere with better access, but it is what it is. Next year, baby.
What region are you in if you don’t mind me asking? I know there are parts of the US that have a severe lack of coasters and I’m sure other countries have the same.
I’m North East England, so there are a few places we could visit (although no easy new credits). But the parks are getting pretty expensive here (transport even more so) and given that we just got married and went to Eurovision it’s hard to justify. You know how it is!
Hoping to start venturing across into more European parks from next year though. Sadly it’s no longer quite so easy these days.
Certainly… I haven’t quite hit that point here but I have already cut some specific parks out of normal plans because of unjustified costs and I am also no longer that person who just automatically clicks renew on season passes each year with the prices going up all over the place. As for getting to parks I am lucky to be in a region where I have lots of parks that aren’t right by me but easy to do in a day so I consider that a huge blessing.
