Blackpool Pleasure Beach: Icon - 2018 Mack Double Launch Coaster

[Rob]

Someone is not too happy...


I expect Roland has recieved a phone call!

Amanda Thompson - never change!

Hey, we've all had to deal with goods that turn up damaged at some point. And the anger increases in a directly proportional relationship to the cost of said item.

Credit Pleasure Beach Experience.

More Icon supports, this time unscathed.

And an official update from Blackpool:



Good to see some thick spine on the track, it is going to be great to watch the coaster go up!

 

[DiogoJ42]

I thought the track was going to be green? It looks like they just primed it and left it at that.

 

[Rob]

That was just in the animated video, they have always planned for the track to be a silver/grey colour.

 

[DiogoJ42]

Well that sucks. Have they not learnt from Revolution? Grey is an even worse colour for a ride than Merlin Black!

Just think, it's not that bad; it could have been bright pink!

I think Bright Pink would of been better than this grey. Lets see how it looks when it starts going up.

 

[Alastair]

Looks dull and drab just to fit perfectly in with the Blackpool aesthetic.

I would have preferred light pink tbh.

I don't think the Mack Track looks that bad in grey, but I agree the colour choice could have been a lot of better. Revolution was brilliant in blue and orange but now it's just ugly.

 

[MakoMania]

I love the colour!

 

[Brad97]

It's not a bad colour scheme but it's virtually identical to Revolution's, which looks a bit dull.

Pink can look good.

Pink can look good.

Yep, agreed; I take back what I said earlier!

 

[Bert2theSpark]

I think Icon would of looked nice in a metallic red support and track colour to contrast with The Big One.

However, I look forward to seeing Icon going up soon!

 

[John_P]

Think it's a crisp and clean look with the track and black supports.

Obviously we've been following this for a year or so now (since the Tom Sayer bridge was removed) and have enjoyed seeing all the preparatory work this season but the track now turning up today makes Icon now a reality to BPB!

Looking forward to following the progress online and visiting the park on the final day of the season.

I'm not crazy about the colour but I'm way more interested in what the actual ride will be like. Really awesome to see track arriving. Roll on 2018
