Top 10 in Blackpool, obviously.

I know, it will be really good ride but top 10 rollercaster in the world is an exaggeration. Not when there are such rides in the world as shambala, expedition geforce and some 25 more, which are definitely better than this. Take a bit of objectivity guys and sorry for my english

Definitely? This ride hasn't even tested yet and, whilst it doesn't look like it's going to be one of the best in the world, who in here has said it will be?

 

[CrashCoaster]

I never said it would be a top 10 in the world, but for a lot of British enthusiasts who haven't been to America, they would likely rank this in their top 10 coasters.

ok, my bad sorry

Even someone who has done the big American parks could still really rate this ride if they like smoothness, comfort and snappy transitions

 

[davidm]

...and all the "top 10" coasters are obviously all in America? ::sigh::
@faalo19988 ; don't worry, ATI talks nonsense most of the time

 

[Sandman]

But Nick Thompson said it's probably the best rollercoaster ever

 

[davidm]

^ he has never been to America?

Bigger isn’t always better my friend! Taron and Helix go along way in proving that.

Yep, that's what I'm always telling my girlfriend.

I think if I said “hey Siri, delete all nonsense posts from this forum” a good chunk of everyone’s (including mine) would vanish

As for Icon I am really looking forward to seeing it in person and riding it.

Question though. On the footers there is the steel massive screw like things sticking up. Are they leaving them just like that or hiding them? Just looks a bit messy to me.

They're not screws, they're fountains. All part of the theming.

 

[Antinos]

What a fun looking ride! I really hope some drone photos pop up soon - it'd really help to see the ride in its entirety to understand where the hell it actually goes. I'm looking forward to a POV!

 

[Jacob Brown]

when do you think it will start testing (obviously a long way from now but it crossed my mind)

 

[CrashCoaster]

Probably within the next few weeks to a month.

 

[Matt N]

I honestly cannot wait for this to start testing. I'm interested to see how it maintains its pace throughout the course.

 

[Sandman]

Get your trains out for the lads!

 

[Sandman]

Double post, I may have tempted fate with my above post... the trains are coming! According to TPWW/MackRides Twitter page, they are in transit as we speak.

I like the gold restraints! They look nice!
