Blackpool Pleasure Beach: Icon - 2018 Mack Double Launch Coaster

[Matt N]

Whoever's taking photos of this really knows how to get a good angle!

I personally cannot wait to view this coaster operating from the brand new balcony seating area being installed alongside the break run, extending from the new restaurant (ex-Coasters). Will be absolutely fab!

Would any of the team have a problem with me posting a screenshot from the (most likely illegal) drone footage from earlier today? Thought I'd ask to be on the safe side.

It's a really good angle

Well there's been plenty of drone footage posted already, for both Icon and Wickerman. I doubt it will be a problem, unless the team have implimented a new policy and kelt it quiet?

Ok Diogo, this is on you

That heartline roll omg

I love how it kinda just falls out of the roll into tight banking and then another drop (with some air probably) into the tunnel.

Even the banked double up looks really nice.

This was my least anticipated section of Icon, and it is looking amazing!

Still hideous.

 

[Brad97]

Looks great. That is definitely not an inclined loop though!

 

[Tim]

Is it me or does that support touch the track at the base of the first drop! That's definitely not enough clearance.

There will be enough, it's just a trick of the camera angle. This gives a better viewpoint:

I sincerely hope the multi-national, multi-coaster manufacturer has considered this and isn't planning on opening an unsafe ride!


Seriously though. That support structure inside Steeplechase. Seriously.

 

[Dipper_Dave]

Awesome pic Mako, that banking looks incredible. Seems like you’re right on your side going over Steeplechase. Steeple just got a whole lot more exciting !

 

[Sm1lingAdvocate]

Not visually attractive, that section. Same could be said for blackpool as a whole though.

 

[DiogoJ42]

Reminds me of what I'd build in RCT3 with the "Steelworx" set, but only after I had a layout I was happy with.... then realised there was no sane, realistic place to put the supports, so I had to get creative.

I had to double check that image wasn't monochrome.

The station cladding really is hideous, I pray that it's not the final exterior finish!

The design (if this is final) is growing on me, it looks quite modern and very unusual for a coaster station to say the least!
