RollerCoasters
A place to talk about roller coasters and parks that have them. Everyone is welcome here to both learn and to celebrate these magnificent machines designed to scare you.
Here are some important resources:
Images are welcome if they are of high quality and it doesn't get out of hand. Please use PostImages to upload your image and then use that link in the URL field of your post (other image sites are permitted but Post Images has the best policies and compatibility).
Some basic rules:
-
Opinions, theories, and facts are all welcome – but be clear about what you’re saying.
-
Back up facts with sources as much as possible
-
No spam or sell-promotion. Linking to your own media or site is permissible only if it’s specifically related to a topic/post that someone else created.
-
No photos or videos taken on the rides. This is dangerous and shouldn't be encouraged.
-
Limit political discussion. When discussed it must be park related.
-
No fictional coasters (models, no limits, planet coaster, etc)
-
No posting personal information.
-
No shaming of anyone. We all can continue to learn and not everyone knows everything -- and that's ok.

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.
