I, personally, wouldn't expect 2 train operations until a week or so after continuous full circuit testing (no stopping on swing launch). There is a lot more safety systems to test in the meantime.

video of full circuit! Screen recording from my friends live
I think people are severely underrated some of the moments on the ride, particularly the speed hill before the top hat, the little hill after the outward bank, and the s-curve. It’s gonna fly through all of them .
That switch is stupid fast
I decide to take a nap and I wake up to see the train going Mach 10 over the tophat. Goddamn
It's worth noting that it did appear to be going faster through the swing launches to me and a few other people that were viewing it. Not sure that isn't an optical allusion from it not being E stopped but it looked fast up the top hat in particular.
It’s definitely sped up. The back wheels on the train now reach above the track change on the spike. Plus the train is zoomin even faster over the tophat. Potential to be one of the best drops in at least the US.
If someone wants to compare the animated pov to the current testing speed, we can see what type of drugs Busch is pumping into the ride. This is definitely faster than any of the animated pov’s out there.

Maybe a little higher on the spike but not significantly more based on shots that I took last week.
Seeing the testing and the apparent speed increase, this ride looks insane and could be a real contender for best ride. The combo of launches forward and back, with that stall and outward bank turn look insane.
Remember the hype for Velocicoaster before testing? Then it tested and it’s slower than expected, but Pantheon is going faster than anyone thought. Looks like a real winner.
Veloci crawls in most spots. There is a trim on Veloci's top hat which really slows it. Pantheon gets whipped over
You’re stupid fast.
The top hat for Velocicoaster is actually LSM's.... from my understanding - it's maintaining the speed over the top hat. (I don't think this is officially confirmed, but I could be wrong) Which I imagine would give an interesting sensation in the back row because it'll feel like you're about to rollback, but then you're pulled over.
Meanwhile Pantheon said hold on tight. Maverick's 95 degree drop is already intense and it's much smaller. I can't wait to ride with much, longer sustained forces.
