Project 2022: Pantheon

[JohnD]

Imagine if they painted the white supports to resemble columns.

Great suggestion. Air brushing the supports using stencils and some shadowing techniques isn’t rocket science.

@Crunchewy tell him to take lots of pictures so you can share them with us!

For what it is worth, @Zachary and I will be at the ACE event, and plan to put pictures on BGWFans social media.

Considering how just terrible the painted stone work is F. Flier I would not encourage them to that kind of thing.

Construction moving along for Busch Gardens' newest coaster, Pantheon

How's the Pantheon coming along? 13News Now Philip Townsend has an update on the construction of Busch Gardens' newest roller coaster.

Not the most enlightening story ever.. but hey, publicity.

Time to call in the Finnegan's Flyer rock painter!

You could do several throughout the ride for cheap. All you need is leaning columns strategically placed.
Also, this caused me to think of a cool theming element they didnt use. Imagine if they painted the white supports to resemble columns.

I imagine that's why they chose the off-white color... to resemble columns.

I just looked at the membership plans on BGW's website. Their was no mention of exclusive ride access for Pantheon on the membership page. Was this just added?

It's still mentioned multiple times on the benifits page.

They also mentioned ride times for it repeatedly last fall when they started hyping it.

I'm hearing a rumour that BGW had allotted this week and next week to have the power off in Italy to connect Pantheon to the power grid and power was restored already yesterday. So either it went incredibly smoothly hooking it up or something went really wrong and they had to change plans.

 

[Jonesta6]

Curious based on previous power grid discussions how having Pantheon hooked into an existing grid will affect the rest of the park?

Unless I'm mistaken, without a significant upgrade and/or expansion the current grid system is running low on capacity?

New unofficial pantheon pov that looks pretty great. It's the best one I have seen so far.

Epic.

Whoever made this did a good job staying true to what we are visually seeing.

That outward bank airtime hill is so wild.

Somehow the scale feels pretty far off. Also not sure why they chose that track type since there's one available in NL2 that's a lot closer to the real thing. I think Intim305's precreation is still the best, by far.

I can confirm from people that I know that are employed year round that they turned it off to a decent amount of the park at least through Wednesday and said it was related to Pantheon work.

I don't think that there is a track type in NL2 that looks like Pantheon's. I think it's just the old school track design in the game at the moment. I could be worng though.

The "Rocket Coaster" style has the single and double spline options, plus the Rocket Coaster train is a lot closer to pantheon's train. Despite having OSTR's, it is nearly identical. IMO they should have used that style for their recreation.

 

[basseyfish]

Any thoughts on where were at on construction?

 

[DC High Heat]

Yep exactly what ControlsEE said. Neither the track nor the train are exact, but they're a lot closer and would've been better suited for this purpose.
