I do not completely understand the ticket policy. They charge you extra for Icon?
Online you have to buy extra tickets for Icon: https://bookings.blackpoolpleasurebeach.com/boarding-card Do they really charge you 16 Pounds for one ride on Icon only?
Icon is included in wristbands. The £16 boarding pass is for a certificate, non-rider access to the park and one ride on Icon - if you already have a wristband, the only benefit is the certificate.
 
Calling it a boarding pass is quite amusing, especially when every other guest will be boarding regardless. Should just call it the super dooper special certificate.
 
So Icon is included in a regular wristband and the boarding pass grants you an exclusive ride? Makes much more sense.
 
No, there's no exclusive ride unless you buy the VIP one, that gets you a ride before the park opens (on select days). The normal one is literally just a certificate, with the cost of park entry and one ride on ICON included. So kinda pointless if you've bought a wristband, unless you really want a certificate!
 
^ They should squeeze a coaster between Revolution/Nickelodeon Land to connect Blue Flyer & Streak onto the line :p

Quite weird that Nash is now the only coaster on the north side of the park. Lonely old sod.

That would be awesome if another coaster was in that space. Preferably a B&M dive machine or wing rider. Or put the wing rider on the bowl a drome / Wild Mouse / trauma Towers site

Nowhere near enough room for a decent wingrider there, plus BPB probably won't pay B&M money.
 
Let's be honest - even when Icon is inevitably really well received, we're looking at another 10-20 years before we get another new coaster out of them.
And in fairness - let's enjoy this one first as it may well turn out to be worth the wait :)

Do we have a rumoured opening date? (Apologies if I've not been reading properly!)
