Blackpool Pleasure Beach | Icon | Mack Multi-Launch

I'd include 'Looks slow' but ATI will probably think I'm being serious.

 

[davidm]

its obviously only slow as it doesn't have its aerodynamic nose on it yet.

 

[Sandman]

^ Tbf it must be ****.. nobody is on it!

 

[Lofty]

For anyone in the Granada area - it appears Granada Reports will be showing testing footage of Icon during tonight's 6pm news.

 

[CrashCoaster]

I'll be watching.

 

[DelPiero]

I wanna see the heartline footage Mands!!!

 

[Howie]

Looks... quite nippy actually.

 

[MakoMania]

Can't wait to see it twisting through the second half of the layout. Should be fab.

 

[streetmagix]

Does anyone know what the restrictions for the "big boy" seats are need to know if I can afford to have a cheat day haha

As it's a lapbar, no need to worry about upper chest measurements. I'm a 38 inch waist and I just about fit in the normal seat. Big seat should be good for a 42 or even 44 inch waist.

ITV Granada just shown footage of the coaster testing - sadly no footage of the inline.

Thanks for reading.

 

[davidm]

^ just watched that - what a useless report that was. Finished with a bit of the launch but didn't follow the train up the hill. Not worth watching.

Collection of testing footage from various sources.
The Granada report.

Some random footage from theme park worldwide. (Feel free to mute whilst watching if so required for your vlog tastes.)

Looks good anyway.

 

[Sandman]

2nd half does look well paced... from those limited snippets.

 

[MakoMania]

2nd half looks fantastic!

 

[Coaster]

Oh wow. The second half looks absolutely incredible, I really hope this is standard running speed and that it isn't toned down before opening.

 

[DelPiero]

Inline looks good. I approve.

 

[Efan]

Damn. I would queue so long for that back row.

 

[toofpikk]

yeah but first half looks worryingly slow

 

[Pear]

Worryingly slow seems like a bit of an overstatement don't you think?
