Pantheon is my #1 at the park and my #2 overall coaster behind Fury. This thing rocks. That's the best way to sum it up. Between the airtime you get on those little bunny hills after each launch, to the whippy hangtime you get on the 2 inversions, this ride has it all. I remember going to the park back in June 2019 and riding Roman Rapids. While up there, I noticed piles of dirt on Fiesta Field. Little did I know, that would soon be the site of one of the greatest coasters of all time. Let's go in-depth into the layout. That first launch completely took me by surprise, even though I already saw it coming. It was so abrupt and so short. Before you can count to 3, you're already in that Zero-G Winder, and you get WHIPPED into it. On my first ride, I got ejected to the side. After the little outer banks, you go into the first of 3 launches to come. You get some nice floater over the bunny hill, for now... As you come back down, you go through that bunny hill. That bunny hill...
THAT BUNNY HILL. I would argue it's the best airtime moment on that ride, in that park, and out of all my credits. Fight me. The spike is awesome, it's probably my favorite part of the ride. At the top of the top hat, you get really good views! I was so surprised, I wished I could've stayed up there all day. The drop is amazing, followed by that huge outer bank. I didn't really know this was here but right before the top gun stall, there's a turn that elevates just before banking, so as you are already getting ejector before your butt touches the seat, you get thrown to the right. And that stall is awesome. I love the support work on this ride! The little switchbacks made me feel like a Nascar driver, and that final outer bank was fun. As soon as I hit the brakes, you can see me in udder shock. (
