Blackpool Pleasure Beach: Icon - 2018 Mack Double Launch Coaster

[Temleh]

So, we've established the main entrance pathway and the exit, but where will speedy pass be joining the party? There is a 2nd door on the building, but it seems a bit out of the way with no paths yet leading to it. Please don't tell me Speedy Pass will be using the exit again

Or, Speedy Pass will enter from the North side by Dipper's exit.

Ride isn't likely to be open until spring bank

Open or 'officially' open?

Having the Speedy Pass entrance that far away from the main entrance will be strange, I suppose you gotta do what you gotta do when working with tight spaces though. Much better than having it go up the exit.

That might not be what they're doing, as that would be weird. I'm only speculating here.

Makes sense, probably be the disabled entrance as well as all those steps at both ends of the exit would be very problematic.

With speedy pass I imagine you'd just feed into the queue line before the airgates.

Temleh without solid info.....what has the world come to!?

Yep, you got me on that one! I’m not sure PB themselves are 100% sure to be honest!

It’s a decent shout. It would be crazy to use the exit queue. Assuming they don’t, that second door on the side is the most obvious speedy pass entrance (not sure what else it would be there for). As there’s no room for two pathways going by the side of the station towards Big One, the other direction is by the Big Dipper exit stairs. There’s not too much infrastructure to put in if it does go that way, but it is going to be confusing to locate it.

Double height queue, regular queue underneath, speedypassers on the top, micturating on the masses.

A bit more testing footage from Pleasure Beach Experience. Notice no test weights in one of the trains.

 

[Rob]

Still hoping for more speed over the airtime hill and the first half of the ride generally, however not expecting it to ever materialise!

 

[Dave]

It does seem to have slowed down again, really hope they are not trying to work out the lowest powered launch to get the thing around the track (I’m a pessimist by nature).

 

[Matt N]

I'm sure they're trying to find the optimal speed to run the launch at! So that the ride is not too fast to be safe, but not too slow to be fun!

 

[bluesonichd]

Not too fast ? They should just turn the dial up to 11 and leave it there.
No such thing as too fast

 

[Camera-Man]

Crank it up full!! ... Then it will be 'one of the best rides in the world' haha I laugh everytime Nick says that lol

Exactly, If I don't leave a ride with at least two separate facial orifices bleeding from G-force, I am disappointed.

 

[Coaster]

Given recent events it wouldn't surprise me if they stopped it at launch 2 and got everyone off the ride to save costs.

 

[venny]

They’d only have to dial the speed back a fraction to make it a shuttle coaster.

Lots of testing today. Trains look glorious lit up.

Cannot wait ... Anybody got a guess of an exact date it opens?
