I kinda want this option more than “we’re testing”
Project 2022: Pantheon

For all we know, Pantheon is testing and the park won't tell us until April.
Both delay when the park releases info and the fact that Brian from IOE (assuming its him since it is an RMC) is on it!
From some photos I just saw many of the cars are still strapped to pallets inside the warehouse.
I do believe that they didn't do the same level of pull through testing. It probably has to do with manufacturer testing requirements
Or any pull through testing they did before the track was completed (like if they only did the main brake run through the lift and called it good)
Since some of the cars are still not on the track but are on site, how cool would it be if they rolled them out for members preview?
I guess we won’t see the park maps with Pantheon on it until opening day. Checked the website, still the same 2019 map
As far as I know there were two main differences between this and gwazi -
Although the track was not yet complete, gwazi had already been testing all of the systems they could before the track was done, even running the lift motor and whatnot. Probably they didn’t have much left to after gettinbthat final piece in and then they were all clear.
Pantheon needs a full pull-through to check alignment on all of the sensors, stators, etc, taking more time. Not sure if they’ve actually started launching the trains yet though
I'd imagine that the pull through would take a week or less depending on what they'd need to adjust if anything. But then again, if they found a big issue then who knows.
Pull through of regular track should go pretty quickly, as there is not much to check other than ride envelope clearances. Once they get done, the will probably start testing launches. I believe that when BGT tested Cheetah Hunt, they slowly ramped up the launches until the train makes it over the hill. I assume we should expect similar tests. Once all the launches are tested, they then will go full speed through the ride, testing everything else.
About 1 minute through this video you can see them making sure that the train can fit through the layout.
(Video from Midway Mayhem)
Looks like they just check the close clearances with the cutout and don't pull the entire (or a partial) train through.
Will it just be platinum members getting ert on the ride or will premier, unlimited, and basic be getting it too?
