Yeah, with few exceptions, most of the panels I design only have an estop, reset, and a disconnect switch on it. Maybe an HMI if the operator is usually nearby.
I haven't been on Alpie since they did the system upgrades so I'm not sure if it's still there (I don't see why it wouldn't). But the panel for the transfer table is at the back of the unload station near where the operator stands.
I guess it's an Intamin thing or the kind of controls being used (Siemens?). You can see in the left of the photo the giant transfer control panel on Cheetah Hunt.
I do wonder why BGW decided to switch to this style for Pantheon. Their other rides use Allen Bradley.

Alpie most likely still has that panel. It's there because operators used to move trains, but weren't allowed in the restricted area. Busch changed that policy to only maintenance (with a few exceptions) to remove/add ride vehicles before Apollo (which the panel is on the transfer track).
As to the controls, Busch uses a mixture of manufacturers for controls. A lot of rides use Siemens, a lot use AB. The park is used to both so either is likely to be used on Pantheon. In my opinion, AB is much nicer to use, but then again, I work for an AB System Integrator... anyways, Flume and Mach use Siemens, while most of the coasters use AB. That is only due to Consign (another AB SI) doing the controls for the B&M's and Invadr. They can always use Siemens controllers with AB buttons and vice versa.
The park is open this entire week. You could go and see Pantheon today if you'd like, just have to make a reservation.
This is was a last minute decision, but Pantheon is again testing today.
Just went full send through the layout without stopping on the swing launch. Just got here but seen 2 dispatches in about 8 minutes so far.
hopefully soon they have done it one time as best as we can tell and we were not expecting it.
