Intamin is considered one of the best manufacturers. Many intamin coasters are
considered the very best. People may bring up Maverick, Skyrush, El Toro,
and Intimidator 305. But after 2021 two coasters will dominate that list.
But which of those coasters is the best? Let’s get right to it…
Both of these coasters are almost equality matched.
You’ll notice that throughout this video with the different categories, and stats is one of those….
These are both almost equal. Pantheon is a Intamin mutlilaunched coaster with 4 launches.
It will reach a top speed of 73 miles per hour, have a height of 180 feet,
a total track length of 3,328 feet, have 2 inversions, and have a drop at 95 degrees.
Overall its stats are impressive, but does it hold up to Kondaa’s?
This Intamin mega coaster will have a height of around 164 feet, 3,937 feet of track,
a top speed of 70 miles per hour, and a drop at 80 degrees. There is no doubt both of these roller
coasters are impressive stat wise, but Pantheon barely edges out Kondaa in most categories.
Could this victory hold up in the next category?
...Because, in the next category is Intensity. Like the last category, this will be very close.
I mean both of these will be the best of the best and this is their strong suits.
Both have whippy transitions, phenomenal airtime, and excellent pacing but one coaster
does it better, and that coaster is Kondaa. We actually have not seen Pantheon test yet,
so I am going off predictions. Kondaa just looks to be whippier. But, I could be proven wrong.
A category that is comparable is its theme. These two won’t be too heavy on the themes, but they
still will have something. The theme around kondaa is a jungle theme. Where an ancient beast which
first appeared 5000 years ago which terrorized all kinds of tribes. It focuses on the return
of the beast. It’s going to be a mix of an African and Mayan setting and a whole section of the park
will be devoted to this. While on the other hand, Pantheon, will be themed around Roman gods.
It will be focused on Ancient Roman culture and like Kondaa, a whole section of the park
will be devoted to the theme. Honestly, I prefer Kondaa’s theme because it has a cool backstory
and seems better altogether. Up next is airtime. There’s no question
both of these will be airtime packed. I think I’m going to have to give this one to Kondaa.
The reason I say this is because of its finale. They will both be close most likely,
but the ending will give it the edge. Pantheon’s airtime is impeccable too and all, but
it doesn’t compare to Kondaa’s. In all honesty, I think Pantheon does its airtime better such
as the outer bank, however like I said before the finally will redeem Kondaa.
Next up is speed. This won’t be based off stats, but rather which provides the best feeling of
speed. If it went off of stats, Pantheon would have won this category, but we already discussed
this. Kondaa will be superior in this category in my opinion. This is quite polarizing because
many people think Kondaa has pacing issues… especially with that non inverting cobra roll.
But overall, I do think Kondaa will have the best pacing on each of the other elements.
Now, let’s talk about duration. Pantheon stat wise again will be longer and Kondaa
will be shorter. But, once it comes to the best feeling of length I think Pantheon will win this.
Kondaa does actually have a longer track length but I feel like you will be more satisfied on
Pantheon’s final break run. The reason I say this is because it will traverse the launch track
both forwards and backwards several times. This will give it that unfair advantage over Kondaa.
Finally I am going to ask my instagram followers which one they think is better. The winner was
Kondaa. 194 people viewed it and 57 of them voted for Kondaa while 43 of them voted for Pantheon.
In conclusion, I think Kondaa will be better.
If you haven’t already, check out my analysis on Kondaa to hear my full thoughts on the ride and
why I think it is the best in the world. But again, these are just predictions.
We don’t know which one will be better. Pantheon hasn’t tested at full speed yet, and hasn’t even
released its POV. Neither has Kondaa. Try to go out there and ride both of these coasters
when they come and form your own opinions. Don’t let my predictions change your thoughts.
