- Join us as we visit Blackpool Pleasure Beach for the first late night riding and fireworks event of the season and we finally experience the brand new Mack Megacoaster.......Icon
Icon is the UK’s first double launched coaster that includes 2 inversions with 2 tunnels and plenty of interaction with other rides around the park and is definitely a top UK coaster
Also in the vlog there is a small Big Blue Hotel room tour, Icon of ride footage and some footage of the fireworks display to end an Iconic day at our favourite UK park
Vlog is filmed in HD 1080p 60fps using a GoPro Hero 6......unfortunately there is no ride povs as filming on the rides is strictly forbidden

I think Icon has the best que line. The music and the voice audio and queing while seeing it launch. You can't get bored in the que
Doesn't have to be the front seat but the front car will do, the airtime over the first hill is pure bliss. At the beginning of the day I couldn't decide if Nemmy or Icon was number 1. By the afternoon Icon won me over though, what a ride. So lucky to have it in the UK and fantastic that we have that kind of ride hardware in the Pleasure Beach.
That magnet is Gorgeous! What a thoughtful gift.
Happy Birthday Andy!
Thanks for showing us around!
cheryle ann it looks even better in person, I should have filmed it in better light
Amazing! I've been on Icon, don't think I've ever screamed so much, lol. Love this vlog.
My brother and I did icon 10x in a row when we went down in September.... best coaster I've been on......
Gary Horsburgh awesome 👍🏻👍🏻
The big blue hotel standard room looks awesome.Great vlog, your enthusiasm is infectious and excitement for ICON really showed. Really good through puts. It was good to see you and Lisa back at the pleasure beach , Great couple you always have time for your fans cheers.
peter hamill cheers Peter 😊 !! If fans have time to stop and chat to me then I have time for them 👍🏻
was so looking forward to your reaction to Icon and you didnt disappoint us, your excitment came through as you as you queued and thats what we love about your vlogs
inger taylor thanks Inger 😘
Omg looks amazing can’t believe you have done icon now so so happy for you all been waiting . Love beaning part of your 10k subscribers can not wait for the next black pool vlog . Been watching you for so long now make me happy because you really do deserve all the success in the world Andy . P.s I’m part of the post notification peeps xxx💖
Tasha Jones thank you so much for your support ! Blackpool Pleasure Beach day 2 Vlog will be uploaded on Friday 👍🏻
Can’t wait !!! 🌟 please give me a shot out in your video hahaa would love one but you don’t do that but if you don’t ask you will never know hahaha xxx
Good to see you got a decent room on the big Blue and you finally got on icon I hope number 2 vlog is longer I'm happy you rode nice to see you got some nice presents and merch and a wild ryan nixon
Day 2 Vlog is a bit longer but still no povs as I’m being a good boy now having over 10k subs ! It was so lovely to get some gifts from our fans/friends
You're like a kid at Christmas!! once again another great vlog. Keep them coming :)
Ellie Fishwick I really am, I’m such a geek 🤓 lol
I can’t wait to ride Wickerman at Alton Towers and I have never been to Blackpool before
James Beaver you will enjoy Wicker Man it’s a great family thrill coaster and the theming is amazing but Icon is a better coaster all round 👍🏻 ! So far I’ve had 8 rides on Icon and 2 on Wicker Man
Wicker man is amazing
It's a fantastic ride. The only problem for me was being a gentleman of slightly larger stock, we had issues getting the restraints to come down fully unless I really breathed in (and then I could hardly breathe for the entire ride). The good news is, Icon has finally convinced me to go on and stick to a healthy eating diet. So yay Icon, thank you for the new and healthier future me. 😉
VengaboysRbackINtown I’m around 18st and fit on it fine especially on the back 👍🏻 but was fine on every row, had loads of airtime too ! We did see a guy who was taller than me not fit on and do the walls of shame 😥
Yeah! You made it!!!!! Was expecting the red carpet.....after that free upgrade at Big Blue last time.
You're at it again! Leave the Woodies alone. The National is grade 2 listed so you can't mess with it anyhow. I was on the park on Saturday and the Big Dipper was fast and remarkably smooth, Nowt wrong with it. The Roller Coaster was fun as it always is but the National beat the hell out of me, always has, always will.
Managed six rides on Icon and the longer it rode the better it got. Agree with you on the front row being the prime spot but riding on the back almost felt like a different ride, I tumbled out of the Immelman. The more people ride Icon, the higher it's rating will become because it just keeps on giving. Class!!!
fylde_coast_pies great comment 👍🏻👍🏻 ! Thing is with Grand Nash is that even tho it’s grade 2 they can still re track it and rebuild it but can’t remove it ! I tend to just walk right past it now and same with Dipper unfortunately I just don’t enjoy them anymore, even gave Big One a miss because why would you ride it when a brand new Mack Megacoaster is sat there with a 5min wait 👍🏻👍🏻 bloody awesome
The point of a Grade 2 listing is to preserve it in it's original state. Re-tracking it and/or rebuilding it and it wouldn't be the Grand National.
Shame you don't enjoy some of the older rides anymore although I don't really believe you. Went on Big One twice. First in the back car which was enjoyable, second ride I had on the front which was as rough as toast. What really was noticeable after coming off Icon was how tired Big One is looking. Easy to criticize but considering the continuing investment and the scale of the Big One alone, it's a mammoth job and I would imagine a mammoth cost.
If anything, the North end of the Park needs a boost. Years ago when you had the Dodgems, and the Laughing Man up there it was a bigger focal point. With how the Noah's Ark was utilized and the removal of so many rides round that area it feels flat. Needs more Haunted Swings!!!
fylde_coast_pies I agree with the North end of the park, it definitely needs something new, maybe a new flat ride and a dark ride or even a new coaster but who knows, one ride I would lie to see at Blackpool is a giant Star Flyer or an awesome drop tower like Falcons Fury or even a new shot tower that does both cycles up an down
I get so fed up with repeated visits to parks but coaster crazy gives you some little added bonuses that make the vlog more interesting.
Peter Gregory cheers dude, on that note my next vlog is another from Blackpool Pleasure Beach lol
another fab vlog really enjoying when tom and stacey are in the vlogs.. they have the same accent as me lol x
I really need to go on Icon, hoping to go in the next few weeks, great vlog Andy and congrats on hitting 10k subscribers.👍👍👍👍👍
Great vlog, Andy! Nice to meet you and Lisa after watching you on loads of vlogs! Lovely to talk to you about Icon and other coasters.
Karl P Travis nice to meet you too 👍🏻
Hi mate thank you for your interest video on the icon I have just got back from Blackpool I have been on icon about 15 time in a day and the back is the best I think but that is just me hope you can do a lot more video it is good to see thanks Gareth
The only vlogger who showed the exit stairs 😂
was gutted when we went in april that avalance was closed, but went on valhala for the first time ever, and loved it,
loving the vlogs xxx
Great vlog Andy . Nice to see your views on icon ! A fantastic coaster ! Just want to say congrats on 10,000 subs again . You really deserve it .
Oljas Kudabayev thank you so much 😊
I'd be exactly the same as you I'm like a child when it comes to coasters and I'm 47 lol great vlog Andy xxx
Not sad at all Andy, i still get emotional riding it haha. Amazing coaster, chuffed weve got in in the good old north west!! :-) great vlog mate, congrats on continuing success of channel 👍
100 agree the grand national being RMC converted would be amazing.
Thank u mate really happy watching it - Andrew McK
Was so good to see you totally made up after coming off Icon the first time, really awesome they gave you a shoutout aswell :)
Dann Kennell it blew me away it really did, totally my kind of coaster as I love Helix, Taron and Cheetah Hunt
Great vlog. You got some great shots. Glad you were recognised. Do you know where to go for speedy pass and disabled access? Thanks
MaskofMystery yeah guest relations is in a building inside the park just as you go through the entrance/exit ! I wouldn’t bother with speedy pass, I was talking to a lad on Sunday who had bought speedy pass and never even used it as the park was so quiet
Glad you loved it as much as us Blackpool back on the map we’ve done at least 20 rides now and it s the gift that keeps giving every ride is different 👍
That shoutout made your day big man 😄. Keep up the good work 👌
Scottish And Proud omg I couldn’t believe it, was amazing 😉
Happy birthday Andy. Glad you enjoyed the twisty bits.
Mark French thanks Mark 👍🏻👍🏻
Great Vlog Andy one the best ones this year brilliant
jason vincent thanks Jason 👍🏻
Hey Andy! I absoulutly love your vlogs, and I'm going the pleasure beach very soon! I found your channel because I was so excited for Blackpool, all ive done is watch videos of it 😂😂 Anyways, thankyou so much for making amazing videos, which I really love.
ItsJustMeGaming !! xD thank you so much and glad you came across my vlogs, hope you have a great time at Blackpool Pleasure Beach
Looking forward to your next icon vblog Andy. And hopefully a longer extended version for your future 100,000 viewers. Brill
The soundtrack of Icon is really good.
Xsuego it’s so good I might buy it off iTunes for £3,99 👍🏻👍🏻
Great vlog yet again! I was on the back row when you did a front row ride!
Great room, great video, awesome park. Job well done.
Icon the best ride at pleasure beach. My record to date is 10 times riding thus beauty.
how long does it take in a long que does anyone know
matthew steadman not as long as waiting in queues at Merlin parks lol !! Longest we waited was probably about 20mins and then the next day it was practically walk on
Coaster Crazy oh ok thats good because im going with school for an end of year trip and there is about 20 other schools so i just wanted to know because it will be a long que
We stayed around the corner when ICON opened couple of weeks ago. We looked at The Big Blue Hotel but it was quite expensive for when we wanted to go.
Amy Asbury for what you get at the Big Blue it’s definitely worth it, especially when you can walk out of the restaurant and straight into the park in the morning
That's pretty decent that is. Nothing worse than having to walk to somewhere after a full day of walking too.
I'm back in september, I'll take another look. The rooms do look really nice too.
Had my first ride on it yesterday (5 goes in total) and it's just narrowly missed my UK number 1. Nemmy still at the very top for me....just. ICON is very good though and a great addition to the park.
Another great video! Loving the content man! Keep it up!🔥♥️
Frøstii thank you
Haha saw Tom and Stacy in the queue for Icon and thought you'd be somewhere lol, such a good ride - best in the UK for sure. Great vlog Andy :)
Overkeen Dovahkiin they actually got there before us and had 3 rides on Icon before us ! Icon is awesome 👍🏻
Watching this while drinking tea out of my Icon mug :) :) :)
Alistair Fellowes awesome 👍🏻
Tip blog mate, can not wait to ride this in August
Even without the povs still enjoy the fact your vlogs are just friends relaxing and enjoying rides keep it up Andy! great to finally hear your thoughts on ICON!
:D favourite Lisa quote this time "stop shouting!" I love it so excited and never apologise for your mistakes Andy I'm sure 99% of your subscribers like your vlogs already
Adam Costello haha yeah I tend to shout over music in the background lol
echos down the halls! ;D
Hi Andy, love the vlogs, your enthusiasm is fantastic. Keep up the good work!
Stu Rev cheers, greatly appreciated 👍🏻
Been looking forward to this for some time. Im in your vlog but far infront of you in the icon queue. My sister is the girl with that pink jumper
Love watching your vlogs keep it up big man
Fraser Vids cheers dude
FFS leave the woodies alone. They're fine as they are. They're world famous and great rides. Icon is fantastic aswell
Christian Moss I’m not the only one who thinks they need something doing to them, I bet you in the next 5-10 years one of them would have had a make over ! Icon is just pure class and something BPB has needed for a long long time, just so glad it’s finally here
The could atleast grt GCI to retrack one
No thanks! Leave them alone!
@@Coaster_Crazy I'd like to see blackpool have a 400ft tall, 100mph monster. Like UK's version of Kingda ka.
Will you ever go to Tayto Park?
Ben Barfoot it is on the list of places to visit as I would love to visit Dublin and the surrounding area but I would rather wait until they add at least 1 more coaster because I’m not a fan of flat rides and the park is full of them 👎🏻
Another great Coaster Crazy Vlog Andy
Andy are you tom and Stacey going to the hoppings
James Page's Funfairs me and Lisa might not go as it’s so far away from where we live but I think Tom and Stacy might be going
I’m going to Blackpool Pleasure Beach but I’m not sure about the in fusion and the ice blast so someone give me advice
what do you mean by the seats are bigger at the back? Like more room? Or bigger seats x
Niamh Garland both lol the seats on the back row are larger than the others on the train giving more room for bigger people, it also means children under a certain height can not ride at the back
Coaster Crazy brilliant thank you! Very helpful
You seemed over the moon with icon ,great vlog as normal Andy, what a lovely gift from angela and Pete, hope you weren't referring to me about fans putting you right about the littlest mix ups you say sometimes lol
Wind Sock I loved Icon and was so pumped to finally get on it ! I wasn’t referring to anyone, just saying sorry for some of the bad things I might have said in past videos and grateful of my fans
Happy birthday Andy can't wait to ride icon I a a new subscriber and so far I am really enjoying your vlogs I watch you in themeparkworldwide and I always see you filming and I kept thinking what is Andy's channel called but now I found you
George Kelly thank you so much for subscribing, yeah I’ve had my own channel now just over 2 years and I don’t really plug it ! Enjoy the content and please check out some of my older videos 👍🏻
How did you enjoy Icon, we had to change our dates again, but we have an advantage with it, because it's the late night riding and fireworks night, so really looking forward to that for sure.
I think Blackpool has another one or two rides in the pipeline!!
COASTINIT.FAIRS JILL hopefully the next new ride will be a modern dark ride, a trackless like Symbolica at Efteling or a 3D shooter like Toy Story/Maus Au Chocolat and then hopefully a new flat ride, would love to see an Intamin drop tower like Falcon Fury
Will be a while till they get another coaster
Coaster Crazy, i reckon within the next 2-3 years
Icon is nothing like Taron or Cheetah Hunt. Icon is Mack Rides but Taron and Cheetah Hunt are Intamin
Hey Andy great vlog I'd love to stay at that hotel but can't afford it right now, got back problems preventing riding any coaster but shou,d be ok on Wallace and gromit I guess! Keep up the good work as they mean a lot to people like myself who are in poor health. Been watching TPW and Slothy Vlogs too!!
Lucy Murphy hope your back gets better so you can ride some coasters, Wallace and Gromit is our favourite UK dark ride and great for everyone
I’m actually meeting up with Slothy Vlogs on Friday at a fun fair
Coaster Crazy have a great time with them and thanks for the replies! So glad you enjoyed Icon: one day I hope to get on it.
Nice hotel room your staying in Andy
Can I ask something is icon a new coaster at Blackpool
Jack Hall yeah it opened about 3 weeks ago
Coaster Crazy ok Andy thanks for telling me that
Jack Hall if you subscribe to Theme Park Worldwide and Pleasure Beach Experience they have footage of the coaster being built from the start and on ride footage
Jack Hall no worries
Coaster Crazy ok thanks Andy I’ll have a look if I have chance but great Vlog anyway Andy
No, no, not RMC. Have GCI come in to re-track Blackpool's woodies and keep the original integrity of the rides. GCI is currently re-tracking the legendary Coney Island Cyclone. I'm sure they'd do a great job for Blackpool Pleasure Beach.
Grady Zyner a GCI re-track Nash would be awesome especially if they added Millennium Flyer trains
Nice vlog Andy. Really nice of that couple, so kind.
I'm hyped for icon too, I'm going to Blackpool on Monday!
Gypsymuffin Peter and Angela are amazing, actually meeting up with them again this weekend
Gypsymuffin oh and hope you enjoy Icon it’s awesome
Coaster Crazy do they have a TH-cam channel?
"Just saw icon going around"
Duhhhhh.
It looks similar to the corkscrew at Alton towers the way it twists upside down.
Hehe, I'd love to have a PS4 included when I'm staying at a hotel. Honestly haven't seen one of them hotel-video games since the N64 days.
Great vlog. Good to hear your opinions on Icon it really is a stunning coaster.
Great to see your views on icon Andy. I'm going in a few weeks time.. can I ask why lisa isn't on camera much now as used to enjoy her witty comments back to you! Lol... congratulations on the subs again also
Gavin Wolves she doesn’t like being on camera, never has tbh but I just used to shove the camera in her face ! Icon is amazing, you will love it
And thank you
Hi Andy, would you ever do a merch tour, I know you aren’t a big collector of it but you may have more than you think.
RCS Reviews I have a fridge full of magnets lol and have thought about doing a video but not sure if it would be popular or not
Great Vlog Andy, where you off to next? :)
Andy Man not sure yet, was planning on going to Drayton Manor on Sunday but there website has been down so sacked it off, next vlog will be day 2 at Blackpool 👍🏻
Oh and coffee maker...mm it's a kettle!
Can you tell me something when you go on rides you start making funny noises like ..aahhhhh oohhhhh aahhhhh OOHHHHHH AAHHHHH. does that mean ooyes that's great or does it mean f..k am in agony please tell it's confusing I don't now of you like it or not...bryan
Bryan Callahan most of the time it’s because I’m enjoying the ride and it helps with the funny stomach sensation you get on rides ! If i am being battered by a coaster I will say ouch lol normally on sharp brake runs or on a rough coasters
Anyone going on the 16th??
On Toast probably lots of enthusiasts, we won’t be going back now for a while, maybe go to the next late night riding event
Enthusiasts with TH-cam channels?
On Toast maybe, most enthusiasts have a TH-cam channel now lol 👍🏻
Ahaha true!
great vlog i'm going there on sunday
เฉลิมชัย อภิวัฒนเสวี enjoy
Coaster Crazy thank you !!
I will bet you the £50K I have in my bank account that Blackpool won't RMC any of their woodies.
XBCPGamer29 you never know with BPB, they knocked down the Mouse without any warnings 😥
Coaster Crazy there's nothing wrong with the other woodies. The mouse was on it's last legs
Christian Moss I loved Wild Mouse purely because of its brutality and heritage, but yeah it wasn’t going to end well with it !! Go and ride Balder and then tell me there is nothing wrong with the BPB woodies lol
I’m going at the end of may to Blackpool
Great video 👍
Thanks mate
@@Coaster_Crazy your welcome
Loved this vlog Andy really nice hotel!
James Frost thanks 👍🏻 Big Blue is a lovely hotel and so good we will probably never book a Premier Inn or Travelodge ever again as it was pretty much the same price and you get way more for your money 👍🏻
Coaster Crazy agreed mate I’m off next week so going to go to Blackpool and will book that hotel thanks Andy 👍🏻
I was there on Saturday as well how did I not see you 😂😂
3.48- 3.56 is me and my mate ahaha😂😂
I was there on the day you were there!
Scrambled 59 awesome 👍🏻👍🏻
Icon hasn't ran 3 trains simultaneously since it opened.
XBCPGamer29 yeah so I was told by one of the operators as they haven’t needed to use 3 trains on it yet, train out of the station at least every minute 👍🏻👍🏻 amazing through puts
They did this week actually, on a quiet day believe it or not.
I went yesterday and was treated to the sight of the transfer track bringing a train on, so about mid day it was running 3 trains with 2 in the station and 1 going around the course of the ride
Dom wpc yeah I was told by a friend that went yesterday it was on 3 trains because the park was busy
it wasn't that busy, but I think the park were eager to try 3 trains on it!
That was me and my daughter on icon that shouted to u haha she loves it, 27 times that day. Great video man
Chris Penketh wow 27 rides on one ride in one day is amazing, can’t do that at any other UK parks ! We had 3 rides on Saturday and 5 on Sunday and could have had way more as it was only on a 5min wait all day 👍🏻👍🏻 amazing
Coaster Crazy it was a birthday surprise for my daughter she's been super excited to ride it so I got the speedy passes
Andy, Is there a way in for wheelchairs?
Kev Kew I don’t think so unfortunately 👎🏻👎🏻 ! I didn’t notice one plus it’s stairs all the way
I thought they had to, seeing thats it brand new. look like my days of going on rollercoasters are over!
I saw someone gain access in a wheelchair via the fast pass section but I’m not sure what entrance they came through, check with BPB
Kev Kew yeah I was going to say I would check with Blackpool Pleasure Beach either email them or contact them through Facebook, there is a fast entrance but couldn’t see how you get to it plus the main route to the station doesn’t have many steps to it, definitely can’t use the main exit as there is 5 flights of stairs going back up to the top ! I wouldn’t give up just yet as there might be a way for you to ride
Kev Kew for icon you can go towards avalanche in the W&G direction. Turn left and you'll end up at the big dipper fountain. The entrance for wheel chairs is down there
Cool
What a bunch of geeky saddos!
I see Craig
Someone's on e cigs
Guy should change his channel name to theme park moans lol
Christopher Green haha 😂
Sorry Andy but your videos are just nowhere near as good without your incredible pov work
Dmoth Machine I know but unfortunately I didn’t want to get banned from the park plus 2 of the Icon ride ops are subscribed to my channel so didn’t want to put their jobs at risk !! Obviously I really wanted to get an Icon pov but it just isn’t possible until the park allows GoPro with chest harness onto the rides
Coaster Crazy maybe on the next visit then? 😏
