If I had shown this to you back in the good old NL1 days, you would've gone deemed it unrealistic

At the beginning of the NL1 era. Yes!
A bit later when NL1,5/1,6 was around, not if the g's were in check. Haha.

Point is, it was a bit of a pipe dream to be honest.


It's just something many have observed in the community. Things such as stalls, 45 m + outward banked airtime hills, airtime hill backwards launches were all part of a ultra pipe dream. Sure, if the G's were kept in check, we could simulate the technology.

Anyway, you get the point. I'm sure we're on the same page, but opposite ends of the spectrum.

As you can see from this aerial, Pantheon's track is complete:

This ride looks so short...

^ It does look short, but goddamn it looks like it'll pack a punch. Looks crazy intense, I'm still not over that wave turn over the Rhine. This thing is gonna be amazing.

Duration will be fairly long though. On par with or exceeding that of your average coaster's lift to brake time. I think it also looks short because several of the elements are so large.
