Why are we complaining about 15 airtime hills versus 9th and Apollo's Chariot has...... Let's focus on this next two years bomb or Bank
pantheon has large scale higher elements while asterix has quicker and lower to the ground elements
Why are we comparing the when one is gonna open in 2022 and be ridden by far less people?
Basically just to tick you off. I can't go a day without @madmax going off about something. ?
Wow, since they're hurting for cash, thank goodness that employee bake sale came through!
The wall color doesn't match the trashcan lid. I'm offended.
I know a little about construction. Emphasis little.
But I'm a little perplexed why this coaster seems to be progressing a tad slower than other 2020 coasters that were announced/started construction after Pantheon. I'm assuming the number of piles driven might be an issue (in project shots of other coasters I've not seen the amount of pipe as here). Also, I recall the permit the the crane was to commence a couple of weeks ago. Yet, no track or supports on site.
I know construction projects hit snags. Just more an observation...

I think most of the other 2020 projects don't have the added hassle of being built on a hillside, I assume that after the piles are driven and footers complete, it can go up fairly quickly.
The permit for the crane didn't mean that they would start crane work on September 1st. It just meant that was the earliest they could start crane work. It just depends on the park and the manufacturer as well. Gwazi, Orion and Candy have all been under construction for at least as long as Pantheon if not longer. In the case of Orion and Candy they will reach a point where there's too much snow to work. So it's likely that they are getting track and placing them as they build the footers. It seems that with Pantheon they are waiting until they place all the footers first. It's just a different style. With Pantheon though when they begin to install supports and track the project will go up very quickly.
Edit: Also another note is that B&M's normally have fewer supports pieces than Intamin so there would be less footers to build.
Pantheon pov was recently shown at a crew member meeting, if I remember correctly we may be getting it in a couple weeks.
