my exact thoughts! it's not going to be a very scenic ride through a field... hopefully they put some trees or something eventually.

Fun to note the 3 very small lsm banks on the ride (highlighted in red). Even the moderate acceleration across the swing launches may be pretty punchy across those short bits of track.
Look at this beautiful roller coaster.

It’s in the plans, granted those could have changed.
Sadly, most of the replanting seems to be focused on the hillsides... presumably for erosion control. The large field in the middle seemingly will be left open from what I can tell. It's very possible that the other areas of the ride will see smaller-scale planting that wouldn't need to be reported such as grasses and flowers. I believe only trees and large bushes are featured on these documents.
It appears that they did a lot of land "smoothing", etc. since the hardhat tour. So, (I assume) they had to finish the ground transformation before they could set the last tracks. But, won't they have to remove them to get that crane out?
I hope they follow those landscape plans (see @Thomas , I knew there come in handy). If not, while other parks have "parking lot coasters" BGW can have a "pasture coaster".

I believe that they are only required to outline the planting that is need to meet the requirements put in place by the water board I cant imagine anything that would cause them out have to file planting plans beyond that.
How expensive could it be just to keep it decently landscaped with a couple faux Roman columns. My dream though is still a full italian gardens look with hedgerows/flowers, statues of the ride's gods, fountains, and columns/arches.
Surely such a marquee ride deserves some solid theming, but hey at least the station has a roof...?

Since they were talking about themed music in the Iron Gwazi thread: it would be amazing if Pantheon had an original soundtrack. If that’s too expensive, though, I wouldn’t mind if they use the unused parts of Apollo’s Chariot’s score (like what the Park released on iTunes). It would still fit the theme, wouldn’t it?
I really hope they are willing to give this ride its own soundtrack, especially since it will seemingly be their signature ride.(and that Iron Gwazi apparently got one)
the difficulty with pantheon having music it dosent have a static section of the ride where you are moving slowly unless it’s on ride audio
The themed music for Iron Gwazi is in the queue and plaza area. If BGW decides to go with an OST, that’d be the route they’d take.
They could theoretically begin test runs now that trains are on the track and they’ve finished all the electrical work correct? I know employees were on site Friday to begin training so is a Member preview day opening at all possible if everything goes well?
