Blackpool Pleasure Beach | Icon | Mack Multi-Launch

Sounds like it's the goon equivalent of an archaeological dig! It would be nice if they could get some track going up before the end of the season, just to excite visitors. So, nothing to see here for about 10 months!

Good idea. They could easily chuck a test seat (and/or some test track) somewhere near the site at some point next season when they bump up the PR and reveal more ride details. I'd like to see the GP moan about the Mack restraints. 'OMG this is totes not safe'. Surprised the Mail aren't analysing the **** out of this already.
 
Here's a recent Construction update for C2018, not that much changed since the last update I posted - Skip to 0:41 for the actual video to begin...

Yeah, we can play 'count how many times someone says 'I'LL FALL OUT'' in the queue line.

Well, it's in the North, it's more like "IT DUNT AV THEM OVER T'SHOULDER FINGS".
 
Here is an image of construction work from Pleasure Beach Experience - the station foundations are coming along nicely! :)

Edited to fix image link - ECG
 
^ thats not an image, thats a link to a Google image search.
Come on ATI, by now you should be able to link an image. You need to copy the URL of the image itself and use that.

Honestly if you want to win "most improved" rather than "most spam" pay some attention! :)
 
Looking at that pic, they really should re paint Big Dipper. It would compliment the new ride and bring bd in line with the station.

I didn't copy the image off the internet, it was posted by a user from PBE, and I tried to get the link, so I don't really know what messed up... ;)

You copied the Google search link, not the image link. That's what messed up.
It's always best to go to the page the image is located on, right click on the image and select 'Copy Image Location'. Then copy that into your post.

How can I right click if I'm using an android smartphone? The copy button doesn't work the same.
 
Sorry but I don't use my Android phone to copy links, so someone else will have to answer that question.
 
Not as straightforward, but press the image, tap "open image in new tab" and copy the url of said new tab.
 
BPB have posted this video onto Facebook of recent Construction. The station foundations are coming along nicely!

This is the same video but taken from YouTube by Theme Park Incorporated:-

 
Another video, this time from yesterday, with the station foundations completed and other construction occuring. :)

I'm getting confused - isn't that meant to be the storage shed, too? Just like Alpina Blitz?

Alpina Blitz does have a fair amount of queue/bag exchange area in the building as well. You'd imagine Blackpool would lump the whole lot in one building like the Big One and Avalanche, but it almost looks too small to put everything on that footprint. And won't this have 3 trains?

That said, the trains aren't very long, and they managed it with the other rides I mentioned by stacking the maintenance areas in line/below the station.
 
I have another video taken recently by Pleasure Beach Experience, who were kindly invited in to film construction around the park. Lots of work has also taken place around the skyforce area for the support foooters. :)

Here is the video:-
