Blackpool Pleasure Beach | Icon | Mack Multi-Launch

Re: Blackpool Pleasure Beach: Project 2018

Given that the support numbers on that picture line-up with the markings in the pictures on PBE, I think you're on to a winner.

Either that or someone's very dedicated to the troll.
 
Re: Blackpool Pleasure Beach: Project 2018

Okay. As someone who hasn't seen any plans from behind the scenes, and assuming these are real plans, I think that layout looks pretty promising.

The top hat element caught my attention as it seems to be a linear one, as opposed to the more common turn to the left or right. I'm wondering whether it will be tall enough to go over the lift of the Big One.

Someone cough twice if I'm right...

I guess it would be like Kennywood's Sky Rocket or Dodonpa. I kind of hope it would be an inverted version.
 
Re: Blackpool Pleasure Beach: Project 2018

Would look cool if it goes over the PMBO lift, be a nice nod to the old rumours of the accelerator out to sea.
 
Re: Blackpool Pleasure Beach: Project 2018

Going by the location of the footers, I would bet that the top hat is just before the Big One's lift hill. I can see it diving under it rather than going over it! :)
 
Re: Blackpool Pleasure Beach: Project 2018

I'd rather it not go over The Big One tbh, famous photos of the iconic lift hill would be wrecked.
Littarly so excited for this though!

I bet goons circa 1992-4 were saying the same thing about Big Dipper being overshadowed by the Big One! Personally I don't think The BO's lift hill is iconic...well it is from the Promenade side....and I quite like way everything at PBB is on top of one another. I consider the park's jumbled upness characterful and iconic. It'll add to it.
 
Re: Blackpool Pleasure Beach: Project 2018

So, where's this image cropped up from? And since a few people are in the know on this forum, could they indirectly confirm that this is pretty much what we're expecting? (By indirectly, I mean say yes or no).
 
Re: Blackpool Pleasure Beach: Project 2018

I could confirm if this is what I'm expecting or not, why'd you ask?

Confirm if this is what you're expecting. Then I know what to expect from what you're expecting. There's a lot of expectation here.
 
Re: Blackpool Pleasure Beach: Project 2018

Its probably the layout and it looks great, definitely better than Blue Fire but perhaps not Helix. Good variety in the layout that has airtime and isn't dominated by inversion after inversion. I predict enthusiasts will be split on whether it or Nemesis is the number 1 coaster in the UK.
 
Re: Blackpool Pleasure Beach: Project 2018

The thing is, this does have the potential to top Helix. I think a Mack launcher like this is going to have a great flow, especially if it's in a tightly packed park like Pleasure Beach. It's going to be surrounded by a lot of rides and have to interact with some. The idea of realistically riding a brand new decent coaster in Pleasure Beach is just something we've never had to comprehend before.
 
Re: Blackpool Pleasure Beach: Project 2018

That layout is the layout that I've seen, in numerous formats. It's legit.

Re: Blackpool Pleasure Beach: Project 2018

Are the Go Karts closing for this? I notice the first part of the layout follows the go kart track. Maybe some ground hugging turns?
 
Re: Blackpool Pleasure Beach: Project 2018

Think Cheetah Hunt's ravine turns but more drawn out.
