Blackpool Pleasure Beach | Icon | Mack Multi-Launch

[Temleh]

You mean just after the second launch, or after you've gone through it and just going into the overbank?

Just after the crest of the Immelmann inversion.

 

[CrashCoaster]

^Well it's quite steep then...

I think you will easily be able to see the top hat from outside the park (Being right next to the big one), maybe from the M55 or open points of Yeadon way.

 

[MakoMania]

I think the colour scheme looks great!

 

[Sandman]

Is the colour scheme not the same (if not very similar) to Revolution's current look?

 

[HeartlineCoaster]

^Seems a fair bit lighter.
Hopefully rev can remain known as t' one with too many stairs so this can become t' grey one.

 

[CrashCoaster]

Upon closer inspection, in the first image, it seems as if the sections if track just before the final brakes are also in place.

 

[Sandman]

And so the official updates begin. These are the updates I've been waiting for!

 

[Pink Cadillac]

I've been waiting for this day! This thread will be fun from now on.

 

[MakoMania]

It looks byouuuutiful :emoji_heart_eyes:

 

[CrashCoaster]

It's much bigger, and much more compact than I expected! Definitely will be the best coaster in the UK when it opens.

Careful, you don't want to be spitting out comments like that quite yet, as good as it may be looking.

 

[DelPiero]

Yay for vertical construction! Guarantee this construction topic will be better than that big red penis at PA

 

[Chris Brown]

Really really liking the colour scheme, modern yet clean and sophisticated. Everything Blackpool isnt!

Still can't quite believe this is happening its like a dream come true. Im just hoping Blackpool really pull the marketing out of the bag on this one and nail a decent campaign, i'd hate for this to be eclipsed by SW8 by the public simply because blackpools marketing isn't up to scratch!

 

[Sandman]

My brain is still processing the unusual sight of a major new coaster being constructed at BPB. Aside from Infusion (which doesn't really count) I have never actually seen anything this major being constructed at my most frequented park. To be honest, even if Infusion was a new big coaster, it's been a decade since that opened now too and The Big One opened when I was like 4. Exciting times ahead!

But it can't be better than SW8! SW8 has theming and an experience!!

Theming isn't everything. To Shaune Sambrook maybe, but not for me.

 

[elephant58]

Don't worry, I'm fairly sure he was joking.

 

[CrashCoaster]

Don't worry, I'm fairly sure he was joking.

I know.

And @Smithy, do you still think it looks like ****?

 

[JoshC.]

It still hasn't quite set in for me that the k
UK is getting a Mack... Don't think it will till I see either tbh

But yay it's going up. Not 100% on the track colour still, but once I see more of it I guess I'll know whether I like it or not.

 

[Smithy]

I know.

And @Smithy, do you still think it looks like :emoji_poop:?

Yes.

The track would look better in a hundred different colours other than "Primer grey". It honestly looks drab and unfinished.

Also, slightly concerned that it might spoil a bit of what I enjoy about BPB, namely the old/historic feel of the park. Don't get me wrong, I'll probably love the ride, but I'm not sure how I feel about this brand new ultra-modern ride weaving in and out of the old classics, and what it'll look like when finished.
