Project 2022: Pantheon

[Jahrules]

There’s almost no way MMXX can be cloned considering how it hugs very specific terrain on the top hat drop. Other coasters could do similar elements in a similar order but I’d give a <1% chance it is ever straight up “cloned.”

Yeah the chance is 0.

Hercules
or
Herculean "something"

My hunch is that if another triple launch is coming it goes to an independent park or is actually SWO. I can’t see Six Flags building anything Intamin unless really cheap

As @b.mac pointed out a few posts before, Gerstlauer has been in the multiple launch game for a while. Like triple launch "Gold Rush", which opened in the Netherlands in 2017.

The most interesting height waiver hearing in the history of height waiver hearings.

@Zachary based on this new info, should "Madrid" be removed from the post title for correctness sake?

Is 180 the spike or the top hat

 

[GrandpaD]

180 ft top hat means 200+ ft drop

Or it's the spike. I believe in the other designs wasn't the spike taller than the hat?

Is there an article coming with more information?

 

[Jahrules]

@BGWnut I think this is all we know. See 2021 rumor thread for source of info.

After I posted. I wasn't correcting, I asked a question, slick.

So. Project 2020...

Kinda dissapointing tbh. My only hope was for it to break 80. Still should be an enjoyable ride, just less balls-to-the-wall like I was hoping.

It could end up at 80 on summer days. Intamin’s tend to overspeed.

I see perfectly where you're going....

180ft? If that's the spike (using Soaring with Dragon type stats) the top hat could still be 170ft or so. And it's 13ft taller than the Parc Asterix spike specs. My guess is the 180ft was a rounded number given "in the heat of battle" and is probably 180+.

I think the quote was the the highest point was about 180. I think you are correct that is likely a few feet higher than that.

On a different note, I will say that the drop to the Rhine could still be over 200 feet. If the top is taller than 160 feet with the 40 foot elevation change then the drop would be more than 200 feet.
