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!

Ok Diogo, this is on youWell 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?

That heartline roll
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!

There will be enough, it's just a trick of the camera angle. This gives a better viewpoint:Is it me or does that support touch the track at the base of the first drop! That's definitely not enough clearance.

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.

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 !

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

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