Blackpool Pleasure Beach: Icon - 2018 Mack Double Launch Coaster

[John_P]

I get more excited about this every day!

Am I correct in thinking that both launches will pass under the tunnel which will have the ride shop on top of it?

Yeah that's correct

End of launch 1, before launch 2 I think, shop on top is only a rumour.
Station next, then track in November.

Does any one have any updates on how icon is doing with construction?

Rumours of the station being built soon, but track won't be going up until closed season.
Flask and a blanket on the prom through the winter then!

I reckon this will fly up in no time once the season is over!

The station track will be the first to go in (soon); the station building will be built once it's installed.

So it appears some of Icon's footers have been set in the wrong place and are currently being dug out...

That is what happens when 23 years has passed since you last constructed a new coaster!

At least the park have given themselves plenty of time!

Please tell me it's not being built by TG Cruse?

This should only be a minor delay hopefully.

This is never going to open on time ever

We can only hope so, but it's still not exactly a good sign for BPB!

Been this afternoon, looks like 3 are out of place...one close to Skyforce/Dipper/Turtle Chase, the other two near the glass bridge, looks like the station entry point.
No big deal, lots of chat with park staff, and leg pulling, but it doesn't seem anything major, sh!t happens.
Reminds me of the toilet roof issues with The Smiler!
Good excuse for half a dozen coasters and two beers in a couple of hours though.

Wonder what Amanda had to say about this

 

[Jonathan]

"THOSE RIDE SUPPORTS NEED MOVING!" Or something like that.

 

[shawnoc]

@Jonathan you forgot the expletives.

 

[John_P]

Construction of the station building has started today. Looks like it'll be pretty big.

 

[rob666]

Station going up at last...Credit Scott88(CPBE)...Lovely excuse to visit again tomorrow, beer, company, rides, fireworks and above ground construction.
Free beer if you spot me.
Hello shakey.
