To be fair, that's just one of the four soundtracks that the ride has. The Continuous mix is around 30 minutes in duration and is fantastic.

Hmm, I'm quite liking this, will be interesting to hear how loudly it'll play in the ride area.

 

[Temleh]

That's just the music for the exit pathway. The full theme is a lot more complex.

Our very own @owentaylor121 posted these great videos showing Icon testing.

Also, he captured the second train testing with the lead car attached.

Thanks for sharing my videos Lofty.

I have to stay, now that I’ve seen the ride testing in person, videos really do not do it justice, it absolutely flys around the track, especially the second half, some of the transitions are taken at really high speeds.

The second train with the Zero car and L.E.Ds is also testing, once it had warmed up both cars were flying round the track, the interactions with The Big One and Big Dipper are fantastic!

I like the color of the trains but the stupid snakeskin pattern ruins them.

 

[Sandman]

Not actually that bothered about the pattern now it's finally on the move! Think the shaping of the zero car captures my attention more than the pattern to be honest, can't wait to hopefully see the actual ride surroundings change... curious as to where external lighting may go for the summer late night riding events!

So it's already got one headlight out?

So it's already got one headlight out?

Charging contacts in the station need adjusting slightly.

 

[Lofty]

Words ****ing fail me. Great looking train testing on a fantastic Mack Mega Coaster, comments on one headlight not working.

 

[Smithy]

Be fair, if this were Alton there'd be 50 LOLOLOMERLIN posts.

But yeah, it's testing, precisely why they do this thing to resolve issues.

 

[Coaster]

So it's already got one headlight out?

It's clearly still in the testing stages.

Slow motion?

 

[henryjwillis]

Slow motion?

Is this a serious comment?! I think the pacing looks great.

 

[Sandman]

Yeah I agree, looks like there are good moments of speed in the low sections and floatiness/hangtime in the taller elements.

 

[Pear]

I wish it was a bit faster at the very end but it looks okay

 

[TMCoasters]

The end is SO twisty. The pacing on the second half looks so perfect in my opinion

 

[Matt N]

The pacing literally couldn't be more perfect. It doesn't look too fast to be safe, but it doesn't look too slow to be fun, either.
