For a coaster announcement this has all still seemed a bit vague. All we’ve gotten is some stats and a teaser.

180ft drop is what we were told.
No idea. Trains weren't talked about at all.
I'm collecting questions that weren't answered and will be trying to get answers to ad many of them as possible.
Personally Gold track and silver supports look pretty good to me
Today was sort of like a Xmas morning. You'd already figured out what was in a box that's been under the tree for a couple of weeks. Bam! Xmas morning and you open it and you were right! Still excited but sorta anti climatic.
I wonder if they decided to cut back after realizing the same day at the president in town woopsies and end up doing a full media packet/release in a week or so.
Minor nitpick but it seems to me like BGW should've taken the time to spell and fact check their materials before producing them as signs.
Found this; not my video
edit: basically just boring construction area views and a bunch of incorrect info in this vid

For the record, we confirmed with Marketing that the sign that says it's a 90° drop is wrong. It is 95 degrees.
For what it's worth, Amusement Insider ”updated" their projected POV from last March. The only change I see is a new paragraph in the description, not in the POV. So some heights are certainly off. But, for those that haven't seen it, here it is...

For members of this group, yes.
I’m happy for the park, and grateful that my family and friends will have the opportunity to experience.
What do you guys think we get in regards to theming elements?
(Keep in mind I doubt they do any of these)
(Keep in mind I doubt they do any of these)
- Jupiter-fog machine with thunder noises
- Pluto-Dark tunnel maybe?
- Mercury-no clue
- Minerva-also no clie
- Neptune-water feature with ruined Spartan ship plus Kraken?
I find it weird that they clearly went through the trouble of having a decently-high quality rendering of the coaster made and then didn’t release anything with it except the heavily-distorted teaser video where you really can’t even see it that well.
I think there will be some sort of water feature in the Neptune element area.
I think there will be a head or statue of Jupiter (Zeus) atop the top hat element.
I think there will be a garden of sorts around the Mercury launch and finish area, perhaps with on-ride photo.
That gold track / silver support scheme is s e x y
Wasn't mentioned or described as a feature. I don't think they'd opt for one with Griffon in the park already.
So, looking back, Pantheon looks to be what's depicted in that "leaked slide" we saw ages ago. Which leads me to believe they'd shelved "Madrid" prior to September, 2018 (when @amusementleaks published them).
I'm guessing whomever did the slide wasn't sure how to describe this new design so they used "shuttle coaster" (similar but no cigar) but they got "multi-launch” correct. We got screwed out of 4mph and Apollo is a 1/2mph faster ?. Not sure the drop to the river is the "final drop". But cool how close it ended up to be...
