Larry Giles, Senior Director, Design & Engineering states, Pantheon is going to be non-stop action for riders. We’ve designed it so that the experience is changing all the time and will keep riders wondering what’s next, and adds, multiple launches, speed changes, a sharp drop and backwards acceleration are just a few of Pantheon’s one-of-a kind traits.
We’re excited to see the progress on this new addition to the park, which is the fourth consecutive year of major additions to Busch Gardens Williamsburg.
