Busch Gardens Williamsburg Shares Views of Pantheon Construction + Track Arrives

There's a lot of really cool roller coasters opening in North America in 2020, certainly near the top of the list will be Pantheon at Busch Gardens Williamsburg.  The massive launch coaster, created by Intamin, was announced during the summer and since then construction has kicked into high gear at the award winning theme park.

Busch Gardens Williamsburg has started to share photos of the work site, which takes full advantage of the park's hills and valleys.  The above photo is looking down at the worksite by the Rhine River, which Pantheon will swoop toward at two points in the layout.  Looks like some seriously deep foundations are starting to be created here.

Back up toward the top of the work site, with Tempesto looming in the background, there are plenty of footers already completed.  Pantheon will feature multiple launches with a maximum speed of almost 73 miles per hour.  The layout features both forward and backward launches and heights of up to 178 feet above the ground.

The park is also proud to show off some of the Pantheon track that recently arrived at the park.  With track arriving and many footers already complete, perhaps vertical construction isn't too far off?  The track is a pretty gold color, though the lighting in these photos isn't the best.

Maybe it's more of a yellow, I'm sure that additional photos in the future will give us a better idea.  Some of this track looks like it could be for the station area, which is usually one of the first parts of a coaster to go up.  Hopefully the park gives us more views of Pantheon construction again soon!
