Modern LSM launches can be adjusted fairly easily and to my relatively GP level of coaster engineering knowledge a lot of them are computer automated. Weight and condition adjusted for each cycle, etc etc....given how early we are in the testing phase I think it is a safe bet to assume they may just be taxing the systems a bit more or trying out various settings...I can't imagine we'll be seeing full-sends like this on a consistent basis come opening.

...but damn it that would be cool.

They are all automated, simply because they are not your standard motor. To my knowledge, they are most like servo motors on a robot or CNC machine, meaning they can provide precise control of motion. As far as speed control goes, you can even adjust the launch mid-launch to make the train go the same speed over the top hat regardless of weight. Weather conditions could still affect the speed though.

To be fair, I feel like the public hates skyrush for the heinous restraints

The restraints are an issue, but the sustained ejector and really snappy turns are going to be hard with most any restraint. Considering HP built a second hyper right next to Skyrush that has broader appeal is kind of an indication of this type of ride‘s audience.

Fortunately for BGW they already have several widely appealing coasters, so putting in a ride like Pantheon shouldn’t be too much an issue, but I don’t expect this ride to have as broad appeal as something a little easier on the rider.

FWIW Skyrush's restraints are due to the wing seats where Hershey specifically asked for no OTSR's because they really wanted those seats to feel different from anything else.

As for this ride, it's so wildly different from anything else at BGW that it's going to always remain popular. This makes 3 coasters with 200'+ drops right? And Project 202_ would make 4 right? How many parks have more?

I think Cedar Point has 5 so they’re doing very good for a themed base park. I think BGW will focus on family based attractions and flat rides after FHP Project

There’s no evidence that Pantheon has a 200+ drop. If it did they’d probably market it.
 
How do we know they’re not trying to mess with us by switching all the water dummies?!???
