Coronavirus: Florida and Texas reverse reopening as US cases pass 2.5m

Florida and Texas reverse moves to reopen business amid warnings hospitals may soon be overwhelmed.

But yes, you're right. I think this is a blip rather than the end-of-times for SeaWorld.

Apparently, though, they’re not reconsidering Disney World’s opening on July 11th, so I don’t see why SeaWorld would shut if Disney & Orange County are still planning for WDW to reopen. Universal are also still open with no plans to shut.

No, since these companies are taking the measures they need to, there is no reason for them to shut down again, it was just because of the beaches where everyone was being irresponsible

New quarterly earnings report seem to point to this and the other SeaWorld 2020 coasters being delayed to 2021.

I guess they just didn’t need to support that first zero G

Such a cool pic! Makes the ride look small/short but still looks like a blast of a ride

 

[Peter Immelmann]

Actually, it makes the near-ground turn after the big outbanked airtime-hill look really tight. Anticipating greyout there... But maybe it's just the perspective.

Yah, this ain’t opening till 2021, sorry guys. But their is still a lot more to do

 

[JJLehto]

Superb! It is a shame it wont open till next year but I aint going to next year anyway so works out?
I still can't wait, looks like a phenom ride and the one I am perhaps most excited about.
That picture does make it look much smaller than expected but yeah could just be the angle and what not and hey, I'll take a more compact ride any day

Any construction happened on Pantheon recently?

The latest I saw was they started the pull-thru, so testing may not be very far away.

Nice shots and all, but looks exactly the same as it has for months.

You're not wrong (when are you ever ?) but I needed to keep the coaster junkies satisfied.

Do we know exactly where the queue is going to go? From what I can see there is no actual queue line yet

 

[MLDesigns]

This should be the entire thing. Old plans had a queue house right before the stairs to the station, but newer ones depicted a straight shot to the station.
