Depending on the speed of the ride crew and how fast the trains are running, I predict that it'll be unlikely you'll see both trains cycling at the same time unless you count hitting the final brake run but not yet stacked.

That’s what I was thinking, in theory you could dispatch as soon as 1 clear the top hat, but that’s only like a 30 second window to bring 2 in, unload, reload and dispatch. I don’t think that’s happening, ever.
I think the rumoured Minimum dispatch time is 45 seconds (or right after the switch track) although I dont see this being the norm because you would have one train sitting in the station for to long after they load the train
If it goes like all the other coasters the crew will move so slow unloading and loading the train will we waiting to come into the station when the one in the station is dispatched. I never see a time after the first few days when they will be fast enough to get the 2nd train out before the first finishes.
During testing they would second one train as soon as the other hit the brake run
Water dummies only stand in for weight, not what the activities of guests may add to the dispatch timing
Keep in mind that the park would rather have consistent intervals between trains, hence you occasionally hear the operators call "spacing" for when they have the train ready and they could dispatch, but the trains would be too close and therefore could result in waiting longer on the wait brake than needed.
And another detail is how it has no trains running! Incredible!
Im more referring to team members standing and talking to each other while guests just sit there waiting for them to check harnesses.
Happy to report I saw none of this happening at the major attractions yesterday. It wasn’t the fastest thing ever, but the 20ish year old ops seemed to moving as safe as they could.
I will say Thursday night while I didnt do any coasters the staff on the train and Skyride seemed extra plesant. Hopfully with the increased pay they are getting better employees. I also hope the park dosent treat them shitty to the point where they dislike their jobs and change their attitude!
If the park is not going to put out anything publicly, could they at least provide parents a useable lie (i.e. Santa Claus, Easter Bunny type) to tell their kids why the ride they saw testing months ago is still closed. Seriously, elementary age kids don’t take well to economics and business strategy reasoning.
“Sorry son, the gods haven’t let Pantheon open yet.”

Edit: This sounded better in my head. I'm so sorry.
i just had a field day on the rhine river cruise with pantheon photos i’ll share when i get them off of my camera, there’s some angles that are ridiculous
Gotta say, people who haven’t been paying attention and have no idea the ride will be two years late won’t properly appreciate the aesthetic upgrade of “Grass and trees” compared to the dirt pit it would have been circa 2020.
I definitely appreciate the literal natural growth of the ride plot, but it’s definitely still lacking. Maybe put the ruins of the rest of the statue holding the disproportionate dagger at the entrance?
It looks to me that that isn’t wild grass by the drop but planted creeping juniper bushes or another basic ground over shrub. The way it’s situated with the young trees makes it look more planted than natural. It probably won’t ever get more than a few feet tall so as to not crowd those trees, and it also makes a wavy effect that you don’t really get with wild junk grass
over by the Festa train station there’s some really nice looking junipers or false cypresses that creep upwards towards pantheon plaza. I bet it looks tremendous up close and in the center of the plaza surrounded by whatever’s planted up there. And I agree that it’s kinda nice we get to skip the first couple of scraggly seasons the for the new landscaping. The new photos make it already look pretty lush except for those new trees!
