Project 2022: Pantheon

[PhantomJB93]

I will add that the Reddit user who “discovered” it literally just created their account today, and my first thought was that it could be BGW doing some kind of viral marketing thing pretending to just be somebody “finding” it

I think it has the potential to be real due to the poor quality of recent SEAS announcements, but it should look something more like this.

I think you were looking for the Project 2021 thread...

As I guessed previously, it may be something Intamin put together at the early stages and added the logo afterward. To me, using the same music as the PA presentation points me to an Intamin creation. The aesthetics (bridge, plaza, etc.) isn't something Intamin would have anything to do with, so they added in what they thought would transpire based upon conversations. Using Vimeo makes sense as it has better video quality and, I believe, you can control access more securely. It could have been sitting there and "Karl" could have just dropped access controls.

i’d say that this was a previous pov that someone made, weather its fan made or by bgw themselves who knows, but they couldn’t even take the time to put the fins and launches and breaks on the track, so that’s kind of sad, id say a bridge over the launch is within the realm of possibility later down the road but this dosent seem like nl2 because nl2 i think dosent have that track type, and nl2 has a worse motion blur than this

When BGW released Griffon's POV animation, there was no lift hill chain, no lift stairs and no platform on the turn around before the first drop, and no brakes throughout the ride. Yet they made the effort to recreate Aquitaine and a horrible rendering of Alpengeist in the background that showed a curvy lift hill with no supports other than the scaffolding structure at the first drop's breakover.

So it's very possible that this POV on Vimeo was created in-house by the company.

Just to add to the above- @matthewcsoup Look at the Intamin presentation for PA on the previous page. Intamin didn't show the fins, etc. in that presentation either.

Since nobody has, I’ll just leave this here.

Did you miss the previous 2 pages of discussions about whether that video is fake or not?

Looking at it again I wonder if it wasn't some sort of early pv that was created to help sell the ride either in the company or by Intamin to sell the ride to BGW. It just feels very early development stage to me.

Well that’s unfortunate

 

[Dylon]

Looks like the Vimeo link is gone...video deleted much?!

 

[matthewcsoup]

Well that video being taken down definitely confirms it's the real deal.

Looks real enough to me. And yes, if taken down, most likely.

 

[Crunchewy]

The thing that's weird to me about the POV is that the launch fins (or whatever they are called) are nowhere to be found.

 

[FoozMuz]

They were not on the parc asterix animation either.

As I said yesterday and @FoozMuz just reinterated ... Intamin didn't use them before.

 

[Dylon]

Yeah it being taken down is leaning me towards it being real...probably early stages like some have already said as the bridge and plaza are in a totally separate area.

I don’t wanna be that annoying nerd guy, but they are called staters FYI.

Wouldn't it be stators?

I would think launch fins is a perfectly acceptable way of describing them since that's what they do (yes, I'm aware that many stators may also be used for braking) and what they look like.
