Bring back the blood fountain I say

Here's a crap ton more Icon photos by various people. Get ready.

Pleasure Beach Experience:-

Theme Park Logic-UK Theme Park & Attractions News:-

Theme Park Worldwide:-

There are many, many more photos by different people, but a lot of them are similar to the ones shown on here already.

This post took too long to make, so you're welcome.

I'm going to start calling this ride Grey Fire.

Thanks for collating all those.

The view from outside the old Coasters food place is just the worst - backside of the station ; ugh.
Some great spots around Steeplechase/BigUn though.

What's actually happened to the Coasters restaurant? It looks quite boarded up...

It is being revamped into a new restaurant which will feature a balcony area overlooking Icon.

God that station looks ****ing worse and worse each time I see it.

That airtime hill will be outrageous but I still don't feel the rest of the layout meandering around until the second launch.

 

[Mysterious Sue]

Wow! That intreaction with Big Dipper is incredible.

 

[Howie]

Some great pictures there, thanks for putting all them together ATI.
Yeah, not gonna lie, I think it looks freakin' awesome. All of it. Don't give a monkey's chuff about a dull station building - look at all that track for God's sake!

 

[MakoMania]

The station building isn't done yet

 

[Sandman]

Just remember, by insulting the station you are directly waging war on Islam.

Construction update video from inside of the park, looks great;

You're right, Steeplechase's sign is not affected, at all. Absolutely not whatsoever*

*Apart from the fact it has a massive support smack bang in the middle of it

Gotta agree, that does look a bit messy

It seems there is a support which isn't seen in the animation.

@Scott88 @Temleh Can you shine any information on this odd support?

 

[Temleh]

It’s being stored there temporarily as there’s no space left on the ground to lay it flat! It’s for the yet to be installed turn adjacent to Grand Prix.

 

[CrashCoaster]

^Yeah, I was thinking that, although I think it's strange how it's not lying flat on the ground. How are they keeping it stood up?

It’s propped up against the already installed track and tied down. Protective padding in between the two, of course.

This is why we can't have nice things ...

 

[Bert2theSpark]

The whole point of Mack desinging the current lapbar is becuase it has he security of the OTSR's yet still keeping upper body movement free...

If this was Towers building Icon we would have a video of Francis Jackson telling us all about it!

 

[FistedColossus]

I'd like to think we are moving into a time when OTSR's are completely unnecessary.

The difference in Cheetah Hunt and Taron for example is ridiculous. I found CH very uncomfortable as my shoulders were touching the restraint the whole time. Ruins any decent airtime moments too.
