That picture is pretty graphic, awful to see.
Polite warning: The video below shows the moment of a tragic accident at a theme park. Please be respectful, and exercise your own judgement before clicking through to the links. Hixee.

Considerably faster, stacking was rare - only occurring when a “row swap” had to occur. I have a video but it’s not the best - I’m there again tomorrow. If it is running three I’ll get some pics / videos.
Icon ran three trains on Tuesday, I was there enjoying every second of it.
The next few weeks are expiremental so expect to see it running three trains again very soon.
Damn, the POV doesn’t do it justice at all!
Maybe they should’ve done what Liseberg did and mount the camera close to the rail.
I promise you it feels faster (and looks faster) on ride - at least it did on Saturday!
@ATI “You Guess Who” I get the joke but come on, proper credit to them (Theme Park Updates) would still be nice.
Now, if @Coaster (who runs Theme Park Updates) is sat on the front row - who’s taking the pictures? Maybe he’s bought a highly advanced drone.
ATI posted all those pictures without context. When I took them and put them on Facebook, I stated that I was impressed with the LED lighting that ran around the perimeter of the roof.
That’s literally how 99% of attraction develop works though. For example, the name “Nemesis” came about 1 hour before the deadline after a sleepless night in a locked room with alcohol as fuel!
From the park that gave us such an inspired name as “The Big One”, I’ll take ICON all day long.
Heading there myself tomorrow, just to check up on things and take a few photos. Looking forward to hearing the soundtrack on location tomorrow, it should be playing in the shop.
Feel free to say hello, I’ll probably be on the bridge with a drink watching Icon test!
