Project 2022: Pantheon

[AIR]

The queue and plaza is absolutely awful... I don't want anyone to get their hopes up. It feels like it's built in the middle of a horse pasture, because it is. There is no theming, it feels crammed in but not in a good way. Yes, you do notice that there is nothing but grass around you while riding.

But, ho-lee-shit... this ride is incredible. You all will love it. My only complaint is the complete and utter lack of theming. After riding, I am definitely looking into more ideas to add a hamlet around this ride. Guest interaction and near miss elements would make this ride perfect.

Can someone provide some information after riding about how accessible the restraints on the trains are? From your experience does it seem that this will be a fairly accommodating attraction for guests of larger size?

One consistent problem that will have to be addressed by maintenance is the sensors on the restraints they are inconsistent I’ve seen the same person ride 3 times and then no be allowed on for 2 cycles and then go on again all on the same seat. But all in all larger frame people can definitely ride this ride comfortably

The 6 foot 4 height restriction is bullshit. That's an absurd limit. That height isn't that uncommon. I'm right at that myself, but I'm sure both my boys will end up beyond that height. I already am not looking forward to the day they get too tall. Maybe the limit can be adjusted with time.

I’m going to be honest that head chopper is INSANELY close like I honestly didn’t feel safe putting my hands up there. It might be a foot of clearance above my hands when fully extended and I am 6’1

Objects may appear closer when travelling at 60 mph...

Very True ! But still it was REALLY Close

 

[tursiops]

If it's that close it's a poorly designed ride and shouldn't have been approved. What about the Michael Phelps of the world with unusually long arms? I gotta think it's further than that! Not saying you're wrong in how it seems though!!

Based on the pov that appears to be a high stress area, you see how many crossties there are in there, versus the tophat where it’s not very high stress? They can’t double spine it there because there’s already a lack of clearance to begin with, so it’s either double spine and make clearance even less, or put supports that act like double spine with a ton of crossties there.

I mean, not that Intamin hasn’t had a few issues with clearance in the past, but I don’t think it’s really worth questioning whether tall people will fit lol. I say this as a tall person…I think it’ll be ok

It's not that close. There's probably about 8-10 feet of clearance based on what I've seen. It definitely feels closer because of the speed that you go through it at.

 

[Darkoastie]

From what maintenance said it’s 8ft of clearance from the seat to the support

So there's 8 feet of space from where your head sits to the support. That a considerable amount of space.

Huge thanks to everyone who has been in contact so far!

No from the bottom of the seat where you sit

 

[Jahrules]

That's still at least 3 feet more than any living human can reach

Honestly you will see when you ride it. I know it’s 100% safe but when you are moving and it’s coming at you at 60 MPH you definitely will have a change of heart lol

 

[BGWnut]

I don't think that's accurate. The measurement would have been made from where the car ended and not from the seat, so it would have been 8 feet from the top of the headrest.

We do realize designers have intentionally included headchoppers in their designs for many many years now? The whole point is for you to think you’re going to lose an arm lol

Don't know if it was posted here yet, but I was looking around on Google for some coaster posters and found this gem (says this is the "initial design concept to be used as the border for the ride photo" so idk if this will be used in the parks)
