I've not seen it, but judging by this it's the sort of thing Merlin would be crucified for no?
I wouldn’t say crucified it’s not that bad in pics, I just love the elaborate excuses for a path.

Not to my knowledge, it's not that it has particularly needed it though.Has Icon operated with all 3 trains yet?
I'm hoping to be able to ride at some point within the next week, just need the string pulling to pay off...

Out of interest, what was your top ride before? Great to hear that you liked it; certainly encouraging for August!I rode icon yesterday for the first time and I’m very impressed! I was expecting a very solid ride however I was quite certain it wouldn’t top other uk coasters I’ve done such as The Swarm, Stealth or The Smiler. But after several re rides I can say it’s my top coaster!
The area is lovely and has been finished off to a high standard. I really like the views the queue line offers and the station is brilliant! Especially with that audio!
The operations yesterday where incredibly quick on two trains. This was my first Mack mega coaster and it definitely exceeded expectations! The lap bars and the trains are so well designed and comfortable. The layout is a good length and the air time is spectacular! The launches are brilliant even if the mist does leave you quite wet on the front row!
Overall I’m very impressed and I’m very eager to return to the park. Blackpool has never been one of my favourites but I must admit the park looked lovely yesterday, there was a great atmosphere and we couldn’t fault the customer service.![]()
