Back in September 2016 Blackpool Pleasure Beach announced that they were going to build a brand new roller coaster manufactured by Mack Rides. In this series of videos we’ll be following the build of Icon with numerous updates from the site at Blackpool Pleasure Beach.
Icon will reach heights of 88.5ft with drops of up to 82ft. It will interact 15 times with five other Blackpool Pleasure Beach rides including the iconic Big One, Steeplechase, Big Dipper, Pleasure Beach Express and the Grand Prix.
In this update we take a look at a new building that’s started to go into place next to the lift hill for The Big One. Along with that we ride the Pleasure Beach Express for an overview of the construction site and also share the differences between the construction of Icon at Pleasure Beach and SW8 at Alton Towers.
