Ooh! So testing should begin soon, which means that the ride will be right on track for an early May opening!Happy to confirm train is on track. Or at least part of it. Currently sitting on the launch track poking out of the station.

Just the zero car to put on the front.
Elsewhere, Coasters is looking decent inside. Booths facing onto the balcony, bar in the back right corner and the by now standard upmarket modern BPB fit out. Think Big Pizza Kitchen interior.
Correction: it’s just the shroud which needs to go on the front of the car. The train structure is all there, so I’d imagine it could test even now assuming everything else is ready.

The area around Steeplechase has now been planted with a fair amount of trees and bushes. Should be good as these grow, develop and make those near misses even more intense.
There are also some concrete pad foundations which sit on either side of the track in this area (about 4 in total). I suspect that these will be to hold some themeing elements - perhaps rock work as seen in the new visuals. If not, then maybe something a little more boring like lighting. My money’s on themeing though.

Those trains are tacky as hell.
Can’t say I am a fan either but might be better in person.

Agreed, very Blackpool though. Hopefully they look better with the zero car.Those trains are tacky as hell.

Are we getting an Imascore soundtrack for Icon as well as Wickerman or is that wishful thinking?
Trains are vile and I have a horrible feeling the station will follow suit. The ride itself will save the day though. However if you want experience attractions then PB really isn't where you want to head to anyway. Certainly not top of the list.
