Pantheon is Intamin’s multi-launch showcase, built around a swing-launch that turns acceleration into theater. The train first teases forward, then rockets backward up a towering vertical spike, hanging riders in a delicious moment of near-silence before a final forward burst clears the top hat. The course that follows blends airtime and agility rather than brute force: a beyond-vertical drop, a zero-g winder and a long stall deliver inverted time without disorientation, while quick speed hills keep the lap bars honest. The Roman-deity theme reads through stone textures, banners and score, but the ride’s real personality is its pacing—build, release, build, release. It’s a design that invites rerides from different rows: the front for hangtime atop elements, the back for that climbing yank into the spike and the snap off the crest. Operations are brisk and the restraint system is modern and open, making the experience welcoming without diluting the thrill. Pantheon succeeds by using launches as punctuation rather than a single headline moment, creating a ride that feels clever, fast and satisfyingly complete.
