72 miles per hour, 90 degree drop. "All of history has never seen a convergence like this, the might of 5 roman gods in one record breaking coaster. Strength, speed, power. Witness the force of the new Pantheon, America's fastest multi-launch coaster!" -Busch Gardens Williamsburg

The coaster is said to also feature a quick-switch track, which allows for the train to pass by a section of track forwards, then move backward to a different track section in one fluid motion, without stopping. It is built by Intamin, a Swiss manufacturing company, and will be one of the first coasters to use this technology. Hagrid's Magical Creature Motorbike Adventure in Orlando, FL is currently the only other operating coaster to use the same quick-switch track technology.
