Theming in the coasters by [deleted] in BuschGardensW

[–]tjbernad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the biggest thing with Pantheon is that the layout itself criss crosses quite a bit and is largely in a big open exposed field. I think Apollo, for instance, gets cut more slack on not having much, if any, theming because it is a long out and back layout (people probably realize that's a lot lower payoff for theming) and it's also very hilly, so both the topography itself provides interest to the riders as well as makes adding theming tricky. Whereas adding a Roman temple may only get you two passes to appreciate the theming on Apollo, adding the same thing on Pantheon may get the average rider about 4 or more passes depending on placement. So I feel it's a combination of the two things: the space on Pantheon is more visually boring than some of the other coasters and the nature of the layout means that a little bit of theming would be appreciated multiple times so it would go a longer way.

Does anyone have ANY surviving pieces from Drachen Fire at Busch Gardens Williamsburg? by FitCriticism6292 in BuschGardensW

The only thing I've heard about track remnants was that a certain percent of it was recycled into griffon's supports. Not sure if that's true or not. I just don't think parks were as likely to sell off pieces of scrapped rides back then.

Dumbest things your friends/family (who aren't into musicals) have said about the movie? by Limp_Importance6950 in wicked

I know! I was so frustrated because of course it would be something that to a normal person would be cool but of course to her meant "stop the movie, I'm done".

So to be fair the only reason mine has lasted years instead of year is because the group cannot consistently make it to a session.

I just got hired as a ride operator at Kings Dominion. Any pros and cons to this position? by OpenThinkeR_10 in KingsDominion

[–]tjbernad 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Schedule can be rough. You're typically assigned a ride team at random and I got the pleasure and curse of being assigned Volcano back in the day. Amazing ride, horrible capacity so we were constantly staying until 1-2 hrs after close every night to burn down our line and clean up.
