JoshC. Posted March 14, 2019 Report Share Posted March 14, 2019 BGW Fans the real MVPs here. Absolutely mental - 4 launches, 300ft odd drop, airtime. Packs so much into what is a reasonably short layout in fairness. For those who can't be bothered to go through the whole thing... (launch 1 in section 3, then the remaining 3 are semi shuttle in style in section 9, and also has an airtime hill in it) This is very much like Parc Asterix's Intamin coming in 2021, but more about size than inversions and airtime I think. Still, MENTAL Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mark9 Posted March 15, 2019 Report Share Posted March 15, 2019 I worry about the pacing on this and the Parc Asterix ride. Taron and Helix (and potentially the new Finnish coaster) is they build up and up and they have a really good flow. I don't really like the slowing to a stop then falling back down feeling.

JoshC. Posted August 9, 2019 Report Share Posted August 9, 2019 So this was officially announced a little while back; slight differences to what was posted previously: https://buschgardens.com/williamsburg/roller-coasters/pantheon/ Key stats: 3 launches (including swing launch) Maximum speed of 72mph 95 degree drop Maximum height of 178ft 2 inversions True testament to how much roller coaster engineering has developed recently that rides like this are possible and becoming more of the norm.

JoshC. Posted January 15, 2020 Report Share Posted January 15, 2020 Construction of Pantheon has been coming along nicely, and there's a very crazy-looking outside banked airtime hill type thing: Nice to see some different elements from Intamin, with hints of inspiration from RMC.

Martin Doyle Posted February 16 Report Share Posted February 16 *blows cobwebs Trains are now on track for Pantheon. So guessing that translates into expecting hype building footage of the coaster testing real soon. It has also been confirmed (well a while back actually) that this will indeed break Tarons record as the fastest multi launch coaster in the world. It's quite amazing really how forgotten this coaster has been amongst the mix of new for 2021 coasters especially compared to the other two major new intamin coasters Kondaa and Velocicoaster. This looks to be a terrific coaster for the park and looks to give them that "stand out coaster" Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Benin Posted February 17 Report Share Posted February 17 Given the line up at the park already, to say they don't have any "stand out" rides would be a strange viewpoint. I mean Griffon is a bit meh but Alpengeist still exists! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
