Project 2022: Pantheon

[madmax]

I’d actually rather it whip through the layout than be trimmed for a longer ride time tbh

The air time on that re-creation looks to be insane!

Btw, what's that element called after the big drop where it appears the train is slowly inverting through a drop? It looks like a few seconds of dropping upside down around the 2:30 mark.

That's an inverted airtime hill. It's just like a regular airtime hill except you're upside down.

This element is found on many RMC coasters and is known as a Zero-G stall where the train rotates inverting riders and then levels out before rotating back out again. However, Intamin classifies this element as an Inverted Airtime Hill.
EDIT: Whoops, just saw this, what @Jahrules said.

The launch hill is gonna give serious ejector

 

[Dylon]

Aren’t we not 100% sure that there even is an airtime hill in the middle of the launch? I assumed we were just all assuming that from the Park Asterix coaster? Don’t get me wrong, give me that airtime hill please....

 

[Jahrules]

@Dylon I think it was there in the blueprints that @Zachary obtained.

 

[Dylon]

@Jahrules ahh, I wasn’t sure if you could tell by the footer profiles or not, my bad.

 

[Jahrules]

I don't think you'd necessarily be able to derive all that we have from just footer profiles. A lot more information has been obtained since that point.

Rare footage of how I look checking this thread every hour expecting major news to have taken place

 

[GrandpaD]

Nothing indicates an airtime hill on the launch path. It's only an assumption based upon the Parc Asterix presentation and subsequent NL2 concepts. There are no elevations indicated on the leaked plans. And, since following this thread since it's inception, I'm perplexed as to "a lot more information had been obtained" regarding MMXX since this thread was released.

 

[Zachary]

There are hints in the blueprints that suggest an airtime hill in the second launch is possible. No confirmation by my reading though.

 

[----------------------]

from the posted article.

You can certainly see how with the footer spacing variance there could be a hill, but it certainly isn't quite fact.

EDIT: Dang, deleted before I could quote. Still, the picture might refresh some of y'alls memories.

Someone said that the footers looked exactly like the ones on Asterix’s

 

[Lcucu3]

iirc he had pointed out when the plans leaked that it looked like the track connected directly to the footers at the beginning and end of the section, and in the middle they didn’t, thus the raise in the middle could indicate an airtime hill

I've never seen the PA footer pattern, just the Intamin presentation. Also, PA goes a bit subterranean on the launch track a couple of times. We've not seen anything like that in the MMXX plans. Until we see elevations on the MMXX plans, anything is just a (educated or not) guess.

You can have a hill without a dip underground.

No s____ Sherlock. Anything constructive to add?

Why are you even bringing it up if it has zero impact on the footers

 

[GrandpaD]

Simply pointing out they are not as similar as you implied ("someone said") with zero backup. While the footer pattern may be the same, uphill and downhill will have an angle.
