I am going to try and cover more of its second half next time, I did regret not filming more on Saturday but there was a fairly long break between the first lots of test runs and second lot, and by the time it was testing again I'd started to head home to get out of the cold.

^Wow you're quick! Haha. It does seem quite slow through some of the first half but I would imagine with time it'll pick up more speed, it was very interesting watching it today. They stopped testing by the time I'd moved position to film, but I'll back there soon.

The Wicker Man looks awesome at night, it rides awesome at night too, I didn't think it'd improve much on the day time experience but it makes it even better! I filmed a vlog at the media night last night and for anyone who may be interested it can be found here; It was great to catch up with...

That's great, hope to see you there for a catch up! :)

I only won the race because I woke up at 6am annoyingly, planned on a lazy morning but never mind haha. Not totally sure when Towers plan to release anymore on ride footage, but I would imagine as we get closer to the weekend we'll see more footage released.

I think testing starts anytime from now, but don't know for sure. I don't see the point in filming anymore 'construction updates' now without testing footage, I think just about everything else has been covered.

Icon construction video from earlier on today; There's some interesting theming/scenary planned for Icon, none of which I have spoken about in the video but the theming will be added in various places around Icon in the next few weeks.

You can hear from the Thompson's and BPB's techincal director on the subject of Icon here;

How do you know Pleasure Beach haven't worked with Intamin since? Intamin were one of the companies who were considered for a new coaster at Pleasure Beach before Mack were chosen to go ahead and design Icon, also Intamin were over last winter I believe.

Construction update video from inside of the park, looks great;

And another look at the final piece of Icon's track being taken into the park;

Video update;

New update;

Icon construction video from earlier on; I didn't stay up there too long, it was absolutely freezing. I'll be heading up there midweek and next weekend for more updates.

Definitely no re-route :) I'll probably be going to film another update video sometime over the weekend, hopefully they'll be working on it over the weekend.

Icon construction work started up again midweek through last week, not yesterday.

It's kind of difficult to do though when you leave for your Christmas break on 22nd December and the Mouse is still standing with no news of its removal happening, I stand by what I have been saying since the day it was posted online, 99% of BPB's staff had absolutely no idea about it happening...

It's definitely not opening next month, hopefully it'll be open sometime in April but there's no confirmed date that's publicly known yet. I'll be filming an Icon update for Pleasure Beach Experience later on, the work men only resumed work on it two days ago after being down in London for a...

For the record, there is absolutely nothing left of Trauma Towers, the entire building has gone. I think the fountain area will get a major overhaul after the 2018 season, I think we'll see new indoor and outdoor catering. I also think the new ride in the area will eventually replace the...

Great report Ian, I am looking forward to giving Thorpe Park Fright Nights a go tomorrow, I've not done Fright Nights there since 2012. I've watched quite a lot of the videos from last night and have to say it's the Big Top maze I am most looking forward to doing, I still think Towers got rid of...
