The other of Britains new rollercoasters Icon has now been testing at BlackPool Pleasure Beach, its looks awesome, heres the video from Theme Park WorldWide:
On Monday 12th March 2018 Blackpool Pleasure Beach began testing the LSM launch on ICON. This meant over 25 dispatches of the train towards the top hat element of the ride. Each time the train would return back down the top hat and stop gradually on the LSM launch. This is a standard procedure when testing launch coasters and is a method used on this time of roller coaster around the world. You'll also notice how the front of the train is also missing in this video, yet again this is standard procedure when testing this type of roller coaster. At around 2:30pm on Tuesday March 13th ICON completed it's first full test run of the circuit. In this video we share footage of ICON making it's way around the circuit including footage of the Inclined loop, Zero-G Roll, Immelmann loop and various other sections of the ride. During the first day of testing ICON completed 2 full circuits with the train stopping on the second LSM launch for around 15 minutes each time. We look forward to sharing more testing footage from ICON here on Theme Park Worldwide very soon.

Another update from the Icon rollercoaster at Blackpool Pleasure Beach
Back in September 2016 Blackpool Pleasure Beach announced that they were going to build a brand new roller coaster manufactured by Mack Rides. In this series of videos we'll be following the build of Icon with numerous updates from the site at Blackpool Pleasure Beach. As work begins on the landscaping around the ride, we take a look at the construction that has took place since our last visit. We also share footage of the cladding that is now going into place on the station building and much more from the ICON site. Icon will reach heights of 88.5ft with drops of up to 82ft. It will interact 15 times with five other Blackpool Pleasure Beach rides including the iconic Big One, Steeplechase, Big Dipper, Pleasure Beach Express and the Grand Prix.

While a lot of the focus on Dollywood right now is aimed at their 5-acre 2019 expansion (follow this link to see brand new information about that) some other interesting news was passed my way this week. According to the latest rumors, Dollywood may be considering plans to attempt to keep the park open year-round within the next couple years. As it is right now, Dollywood is almost open year-round, only closing down from early January to mid-March, which is pretty much the coldest time of the year for the area, and a time when tourism falls off at most of the area businesses in Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg, with things picking up once again in March... just when Dollywood reopens.
The question here to be solved may be similar to the, "Which came first, the Chicken or the Egg?" question. Does tourism in the area fade during this time just because Dollywood is closed, or would the tourists continue to visit if Dollywood were to remain open? We may just find out the answer to that question before too long, so stay tuned.
