Blackpool Pleasure Beach | Icon | Mack Multi-Launch

^ But your favourite park is Cedar Point, doesn't that also have loads of contrasting rides? To be honest, that's just how amusement parks look, loads of different rides crammed together.

 

[CrashCoaster]

^disagree completely. Everything aside from Icon in those two pictures looks absolutely disgusting. Just tons of rides crammed together that don't blend in at ALL. Only reason I'm stepping foot in Blackpool is for creds.

The pictures don't do the park justice. I think the park is and looks nice on the inside. Tacky, but nice.

Pictures don't so the skyline justice, tons of rides crammed together ridiculously close is what BPB is all about! It looks especially great in the dark.

I don't think it helps either that Infusion really needs a repaint.

Blackpool easily has the best skyline in the UK, Icon will only make it better.

So much hyperbole in this topic, did we get an influx of 14 year olds recently?

^ Blackpool getting a new coaster after so long is the equivalent of the Second Coming of Christ to many UK enthusiasts It can get annoying on Facebook but I'm glad it's at a point now where people are getting giddy over track installation instead of mud

I apologise for being excited, I'll go over to the SW8 thread to calm down

 

[Bert2theSpark]

I'll remind myself Merlin are retheming a family coaster to a Dark themed IP with shipping containers

Post corrected.

I am not ashamed to admit that I am as excited as a 14 year old at Christmas to see this ride going up

PS the Blackpool skyline is fantastic, I can't understand how any coaster lover could think otherwise...?

It's not the coasters that I don't like it's just that the colors of all the rides do not work well together and it ends up coming off as just ugly. Also it's not like any of those coasters are very good anyways so...

Infusion, yeah, PMBO better than Infusion but still yeah. Big Dipper never fails to leave a smile on your face though!

Everything at Blackpool apart from Valhalla and the Mouse is absolute dog****. If you disagree then you really need to go ride some good creds not just big apples.

 

[Sandman]

^ I don't think Revolution or Avalanche are dog****, but obviously there's better out there. The woodies, Big One and Infusion are pretty naff though.

Eurgh will people stop hating on the Gnash already. There's enough big smooth steel coasters out there for the rest of you chaps and really not that many (good) old school coasters left, that beat you up just right, for those of us that like that sort of thing. Leave us basics alone and just go ride what you like. There's room for all of us.

 

[DelPiero]

But it's poooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.
If you don't get a wheel seat it's not the worst thing in the world but those wheel seats really are bad. I honestly prefer Blue Flyer to Gnash anyway

Much more disappointed about the lack of respect for Wallace in that statement.

 

[Sandman]

Enough babbling about the old, time for some new. The Immelmann is going in.

I hope these updates are a regular Tuesday thing. At least we know this will have 3 trains, with the block just before the station.
