Project 2022: Pantheon

[BGWnut]

So, no arches as depicted in the recent POV...reminiscent of the Rialto Bridge in Venice?

You mean the bridge that from the plans we know doesn't exist?

I was actually pretty impressed with InvadR, the plaza anyways. Considering how they shoehorned it in where it is it looks like it's always been there. Now the plot of the ride itself leaves a bit to be desired...

I hope this has cool lighting at night

I believe any lighting above 60 feet (above grade) would require an amendment to Pantheon's height waiver. The fact that BGW was granted an amended height waiver to allow Griffon to be lit a handful of years back show that it's not out of the realm of possibility—but I certainly wouldn't expect Pantheon to open with any particularly fancy lighting.

Highly doubtful, but I'd love to see if they could "sneak by" the lighting issues with these LED lighted wheels. They can be programmed to change colors at specific points, which would be great to tie into the "God" sections of the circuit.

So I am hearing that Pantheon and the JP coaster top hat elements will be the first 2 coasters without the trim brakes on the top hat. This is gonna make the ride amazing and can't wait to do Pantheon next June when I am up there.

Huge if true. I hate trims on top hats. Kill the thrill.

I think Camiel (the designer) said that it’s supposed to reach -2 g or close.

 

[FoozMuz]

I dont mean to be a buzzkill but nearly all top hats are not trimmed. Not quite a first.

 

[madmax]

Yeah I think Intamin doesn’t normally trim their top hats.

 

[Lcucu3]

It is worth noting that the Parc Asterix shuttle coaster had a holding brake on the top hat, which this ride of the same model supposedly chose to omit. I think that’s what he was trying to say there

Any new photos of the site? ?

Switch track is installed apparently

 

[FoozMuz]

Yes, switch track is installed, and some more work on the station is all I see.
