Meh. I want more stats. UI thought it was meant to be 76mph?
And I thought the drop was meant to be like 100 degrees?

If you think this ride looks meh then your standards must be unbelievably high.
Pantheon will literally be better than every coaster in your country lol
He's part of the Gerstlauer Appreciation Society. He wouldn't know a good ride if it hit him in the face.
And yes, @CrashCoaster before you say - I'll rename the topic and move it across to the construction area.

Just like I said a few pages back and everyone disagreed.

So is it Pantheon or is it The New Pantheon?
What a weird name for a coaster, like calling a launch coaster “Notre Dam” or “St Pauls Cathedral”.

I didn't see anyone disagreeing with the idea of an airtime hill launch on the past few pages. Hell I even explained why it would most likely be one as well.
You can also tell by the footers here that there will most likely be an airtime launch section instead of a flat launch.
Anyways we have more stats now

At first, I thought the rumored name choice was rather odd; however, it's grown on me quite a bit since the announcement came around. Fortunately for me, Busch Gardens Williamsburg is a bit over 6 hours away by driving; I can't wait to get on Pantheon in the next few years! I've been fascinated by the concept of a swing launch, and Intamin's involvement makes me even more excited for this new coaster.
Well, no.
The word "Pantheon" also refers to a group of gods, and it seems from that massively detailed layout that each element is named after a Roman god.
You're all welcome.

OK. I am going to post 3 thoughts about this ride:
- Who said BGW didn't want to work with Intamin and that's why they got Verbolten and Mach Tower from Zierer?
- That name sounds cool but the random bits of track associated with each god is just ridiculous. Like, it doesn't make sense?
- I was kind of expecting 3 trains: after all, 20-people trains are not large, and this will get a lot of people. I would think they could manage to have one train in the station, one on the course and one at the brakes...

I asked on a tour why they went with Zierer and they said it was because they already built the kiddie coaster from them they knew they could provide a good family attraction. Also Mach tower is Moser not Zierer.
I quite like how each element has to do with a different god. The swing launch being Mercury running messages back and forth between Jupiter and Neptune is a very creative idea. I was expecting 3 trains too but hopefully the throughout is good enough with 2.
