Blackpool Pleasure Beach are building a new £16.25m rollercoaster, Icon The Ride. It will be the UK’s first ever with a double-launch – an advanced technology that gives the roller coaster two powerful thrusts of acceleration during the ride. Groundwork has been taking place throughout the year at the Pleasure Beach and the steel work will be completed by Mack Rides at their world-class factory in Waldkirch, Germany, utilising the latest state-of-the-art engineering processes, including laser beam technology for extreme accuracy. Icon The Ride will open in Spring 2018. Facebook: / pbexperience Twitter: / clubpbe YouTube: / clubpbe
