Theres just so much to love about this ride. The ejector airtime hill on the launch track. The backwards spike. The top hat. Outward bank airtime hill. The pop of airtime before the stall. The hang time on that stall!! The wave turn before the break run. Looking forward to the official POV and opening day.

I’m curious what the restraint type will be. Will it be hydraulic like Bolty’s or ratcheting like Alpie?
Intamin I think tends to be hydraulic though we shall see - anyone here go to the IAAPA expo where they showed off the trains?
Intamin uses hydraulics for their restraints. This video isn't in English, but later in the video you can see how they release the restraints on Taron (same train type as Pantheon).
Edit: Just to add... maintenance would use a tool to release ratchet restraints. Hydraulic restraints are released with an electric current (in a summed up way) so this is shown in the video of them using a remote control panel for the manuel release.

Here's what I got today. Definitely would've preferred to get more angles, but feel I did my best for only seeing 2 1/2 cycles after I hauled ass to the park from Richmond. Might end up going back tomorrow and will follow up with more footage/photos if it's running again.
I know it's hard to say for sure right now, but the intensity of this airtime reminds me of one thing... I305. We could have a major winner here.
There is actually a fair amount of it all be it far to the outside of the ride. I mean I definitely don't advocate ever taking more trees down well except when I am trying to find unobstructed camera angles for Pantheon testing.
Bro, that was actually amazing. Like bro, holy cow bro.
all jokes aside that was actually really amazing, great work!!
I didn't ever see it switch first hand today. Hopefully someone can capture it tomorrow.
My God this ride looks illegal. Definitely going to be the best in the park. I'm blown away.
