What's new

Blackpool Pleasure Beach | Icon | Mack Multi-Launch

So the real colour scheme is basically like Thunder Dolphin.

I was wondering why everyone kept posting a picture of Red Arrows Skyforce but then I realised it was just ATI's signature.

We used to have a rule regarding the size of signature banners, but it seems not to have carried over to the new forum (or be enforced). I know there is a Xenforo mod that just cuts off people's signatures after a certain amount of pixels, perhaps this would be something for CF?
 
True, maybe the name will grow on people and eventually be as iconic as The Big One

At least it's certain that Blackpool is going to have another Icon. I wonder, will it become more popular than the Big One long term? As good as Construction 2018 is going to be, the GP love the sheer size of its red and blue neighbour.
 
I can't agree enough - we're gonna love this, but PMBO is so iconic, people will just be drawn to it.
 
Playing devil's advocate though - black/grey/orange-yellow are commonly used "under construction" colours.

Could it be that the colours on the site are just to indicate "under construction"? Why would the ride rendering be so different? Could it be that the website (and coaster, for that matter) look crap with the green/orange scheme?
The rendering was just to differentiate the layout and make it stand out in the video as far as I'm aware. The rendering of the supports is the light grey on the website, the track is the dark grey and the train is the orange colour - there's actually a pre-vis rendering knocking about that came from the park, but was then revoked (or it never actually got released) and that shows this colour scheme being used.

The website is clearly grey and orange ;)
Hmmm fair enough...

Icon's a **** name, if that's what you're getting at.
