Pantheon is a steel roller coaster at Busch Gardens Williamsburg theme park in Williamsburg, Virginia. Manufactured by Intamin, the roller coaster opened to park members on March 4, 2022 and features four launches, five airtime hills, and a 95-degree beyond vertical drop.[2] The 178-foot-tall ride (54 m) inverts riders twice and reaches a maximum speed of 73 mph (117 km/h). Its theme is set to ancient Rome with a focus on the ancient culture's deities Jupiter, Mercury, Minerva, Neptune and Pluto. Despite marketing for the ride, it has never held the fastest multi-launch coaster record. Soaring With Dragon (77.7 mph (125.0 km/h)) held this record from September 2016 until May 2024 with Cedar Point opening Top Thrill 2 (120 mph (190 km/h)).
