It does have inversions, though, which is what makes many first-timers chicken out. As a kid, I was fine with coasters as long as they didn't go upside down. I'd probably not have been very afraid of Taron, but the inversions of Star Trek would probably have me refusing to go on it.
I don’t know whether it means anything, but the park has made numerous references to “Hollywood backdrops” in their press releases, as well as how it has a “bespoke storyline that fits in with the park’s Hollywood theme”, so maybe your wish might be granted?
The choice of not too fast or intense launches was already done with the selection of Mack as manufacturer.
Star Treck runs backwards during the launch sequence - doesn't that make it multi-directional?
In the German version of the press release it is „Germanys first multi dimensional coaster“, aka the first of this model in Germany.
Sorry not sorry, but Icon is a lot better than the pretty forceless Blue Fire, even though it cracks my top 10. Supposedly Icon is significantly better than STOE also. Helix looks gorgeous though. <3
Just posting here to defend Blue Fire because it gets far too much hate. Icon is SO ugly it's actually offensive, but at least it goes with the rest of PBB because of it.
I think it’s all down to personal opinion, really; while one person might prefer Blue Fire, another might prefer Icon. Another might even prefer Blue Fire to Helix, or have Icon as their favourite Mack Mega. That’s the wonder of being in such a diverse community; there’s no right or wrong with regards to which coasters are “better” than one another or which one’s the “best”, merely a series of different opinions.
By no standard is icon better than Blue Fire, they’re both relatively forceless, and it is a close call but Blue Fire edges it in every department... Ironically mostly so in force and intensity ??
As I said, it’s all about personal opinion, and what you personally like in a coaster. Or even how the coaster was running on your visit.By no standard is icon better than Blue Fire, they’re both relatively forceless, and it is a close call but Blue Fire edges it in every department... Ironically mostly so in force and intensity ??
P.S don’t go on Helix with your expectations too high
Has there been a ‘rank the mack multi launch coasters’ thread yet? If not you should make one ? definitely be more appropriate than having this discussion here
