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

Oh, ignore the capitalised I, that was a mistake. I'd hope PB would come up with something more imaginative than that.

 

[Lofty]

Yeah. It was just a capitalised letter in a sentence. Nothing more ha.

Not that important, but there is now a photo of the site on RCDB... https://rcdb.com/14312.htm

P.S. I took the photo

Bit of a slow news day but supposedly Amanda has said there will be a "tranquil spot".

She said: “Nick (Thompson) has been working with the engineers to ensure everything will be superb with every thrill possible. “I think you can thank Nick for the thrills of the ride but you can thank me for how it will all look. “Aesthetically I think everybody will be really pleased. “If I get my own way,which I very rarely do, but occasionally happens, “I will have a little garden of tranquility as you come off the ride so everybody can sit and take a little step back and watch the other people be scared. “In this tranquility garden everybody will have a nice feeling of calm as they come off after all that rush of adrenaline and excitement.”

Seems like a nice idea

She's clearly been playing a bit of RCT of late. Expecting several benches right outside the exit.

Could be Parkitect as well. After the last update, guest Nausea levels have become much more fickle. You almost have to have a bunch of benches immediately outside the exit of all your rides to prevent rivers of protein spill from forming.

I think it's a brilliant idea.

My favorite bit was when Amanda said this...

If I get my own way,which I very rarely do

It's got to be to do with it...I'm guessing the name and theme

 

[owentaylor121]

The ride is called ICON. Terrible I know but I'm sure it will grow on us.

Eh, not completely sold, but at least it has a nice logo.

Actually disgusting...

Bit of a weird name but I like the theme, I'm thinking massive pagoda station with some pretty landscaping and fountains outside. It will probably end up looking tacky as hell but there's loads of potential to get excited about.

So glad they didn't go with a racecar theme, I'm much more hyped for this now.

'The world’s most exciting rollercoaster' apparently.

 

[Mysterious Sue]

That's...hmm what...yeah, I don't like it.
