ICON FRONT SEAT ON-RIDE POV 2019 4K; czcams.com/video/vWqD20PvCKA/video.html
I went on icon(9 times in a row) there was no queue and it was just amazing
Glad you enjoyed it Izzy!
Im going on it tommorow been on it 15 times already
I rode Time Traveler 7 times, barely any waiting. (Back row is the way to go)
Izzy Jackson looks shit
fucking spaz
I’m the type of guy just to stay sat there yelling in excitement before the drop but realistically I’m terrified 😂
Mystic ! You’ll be fine 😀
I can relate 😂
I'm scared, and yelling.
#s3. ! Same😂😂
@Owen Plays yes very
It’s such a good ride when your sat in front seats
Front row is amazing but back row is the best.
@@yourexperienceguide I was sat in the back row waiting for the ride to exit the station but the operators removed me from the seat and put me on the front instead. There was then nobody in the back row for that train for the entire day. Do you know why that may be? Thanks
Back row is amazing!
I heard it was better at the back
Back row is really rattly fsr
Went on icon for the first time today and I have to say, I didn’t think it would be as intense as it is. On the second part of the ride it feels like your doing weight lifting just putting your arms up. This combined with the awesome airtime just makes an amazing ride!
Glad you enjoyed it, we love it :)
I hate it. I passed out on it.
Danielle Dewitt you can. Idiot.
Danielle Dewitt I never said it was the rides fault.
Danielle Dewitt shut up
I got to ride today.
I absolutely adored every second of it, I thought i would enjoy Icon but it's exceeded expectations. I couldn't think of anything wrong with this ride and enjoyed it from queue to shop. I think this will appeal to so many people and really heightens the profile of BPB, they've really smashed it this time.
Thanks for keeping us update with the ride progress it's been a real treat and unless I've missed a few videos this is the first time in ages I've seen Becca, the hair looked great girl
Keep up the great work everyone.
Thanks for watching and we are really glad you've enjoyed the updates, truth be told, we loved filming them and can't wait for the next big project now.
Me and Becca have recently had a new born child, Becca wasn't really in many vlogs from October onwards because of not being able to do rides etc, but our little man is just short of six weeks old now and Becca will be some of the videos again.
OMG I had no idea, so happy for you both I hope your all happy and healthy as can be.
They're both doing great thank you :)
Went on this ride yesterday, it’s honestly amazing! Ngl I’m so scared of rides but I faced my fears (I got dragged on it😂) and went on it. I thought the first drop wouldn’t be that bad but it’s breath taking😂 after that it’s amazing! It was a lot more intense than the video makes it out to be and it’s a lot more dramatic than I thought it would we but definitely worth it!
I’ve never been on a big rollercoaster (or any really because I’m terrified of them) but at the end of the school term we’re going Blackpool again and my friends said I have to go on ICON with them...I said fine (didn’t really have an option😂😂) but I’m already getting scared by looking at the turns...is it fine for people who are no good with rollercoasters??
NiftyZakPlayz wow my school are going a day before yours on the 16th July
Charlotte Emily Jones I’m so scared to go on this
My school is goin the 17th and im shit scared of rides
Does this go upside down
This is one of the only rides I've seen where everyone has come off laughing, whether they were brave with rides or completely terrified, it just leaves you breathless and totally overwhelmed, what a powerful coaster!
Went on this 3 times today... I chuffing love it, best ride ever! !! Well done blackpool x
At my school we go on a yearly trip to the pleasure beach and icon opened the day AFTER we went but we are going again next week and I am super excited great video
Molly Lochrie samee we go every year im going on the 22nd this month
Rihanna Brown / same
I went on it today...rode it 7 times. A very long amazing ride and a very fast turn around time due to having three sets of trains.....One loading/off loading, One parked & ready to launch, and the third active on the track. Every video ive seen is deceptive...because the ride gives you weightlessness, extreem acceleration, deep plunging drops that you majestically emerge out of. You get a super-smooth feeling of gliding... due to the wheels being on the outside of the track. You almost forget there is a track at all! And get off feeling totally euphoric....it lifts your soul. 😎
Can you use the normal wristbands on the ride or do you have to get a separate ticket for it
ICON is included on the wristband.
Pleasure Beach Experience thanks for the reply already been a couple of months ago wanted to go on icon but it wasn't open might come back next month as it looks pretty good
Cameron Definitely head back and give it a go :)
what a lovely description - can't wait to go on it in August
Best compilation of Icon footage yet. Great job guys 👍🏻
Thank you! :)
I can’t wait to go on this because it’s my first rollercoaster!
the launch feels so pully and smooth I love it!
Great video. Went on Icon several times last week and all I can say is that it is WAY more thrilling that it appears in any video. It was so much fun, we loved it. Closest things we have ridden are Universal's Hulk or Oakwood's Speed, both great and maybe taller and faster rides, but I enjoyed Icon much more. It is now definitely Blackpool's best (and smoothest!) ride. Front row is best :)
It is fair to say videos of ICON do it no justice at all, really happy you enjoyed it :)
E I B on the twisty parts does it make you feel sick? I’m going on Tuesday but I don’t like rides that will make you feel sick
Keisha Turnbull You’ll not feel sick after riding Icon.
Pleasure Beach Experience thankyou for this you were right I went on it and it’s now my favourite ride on the park ! 😃
i went on this 2 times in the row today and it’s the best ride ever!!!
Going there on Monday and I’m so excited to go on the icon
This is SOME coaster!! Absolutely unreal, that Immelmann turn after the second launch is a special element to me, 4 times we did this ride today
G We love it! 😀
I went on this today I absolutely loved it the first drop and all the twists and turns it’s awesome
Good job! Went to Pleasure Beach on Sat and we had plenty of rides on Icon... what can I say? Definitely the highest quality coaster in the UK, and also the best.
It's so clever - a lot of people seem to be saying it looks slow, but it's just the right speed that allows you to properly appreciate the forces of every element. I mean, what's the point of a zero-G roll or an Immelmann if it's over before you felt it? Icon is fast where it needs to be, and there is plenty of airtime throughout. Ain't nobody saying it's 'too slow' or 'boring' in the exit area!
BPB has taken a leap forward for the UK, I hope other parks will follow. I'm going back on Friday specifically to ride this all day!
Brilliant review, thank you for posting! Would you be interested in a 30 minute ERT/private hire session on ICON? We have booked it along with Avalanche on Saturday 23rd June.

Marmalade Soup disagree with that one stealth is far better than icon and much faster.
its fast enough to give a 4.3 g force at one point. if it was faster it could be d angerous.
Really well put together video, gives the 'full experience' as you say. Nice one! :)
Thanks mate, I wasn't planning to use the rider cam video but thought this was a good opportunity to use a bit of it.
I went on icon for the first time about 2:weeks ago, omg it was bloody brilliant, can’t wait to go on it again in the future, was definitely the highlight of my trip this year, 😁👍
Went on Sunday managed to get on it 4 times , first time I was so scared with it only being a lap bar but honestly pleasure beach has done such a good job with this ride I love it! Best ride since valhalah! Queue went down fast there was a minor technical fault which didn’t take them long to fix as well and it definitely secures you in tight enough
Glad you enjoyed it, we love the restraint system, safe but spacious.
This ride is deadass amazing. Too good.
This ride was absolutely amazing!! Much better than I was expecting, can’t wait to go back so I can ride again!!
Glad you enjoyed it, we love it :)
Pleasure Beach Experience best ride at the park !!
Totally agree!
Love icon, such a thrilling ride. Went to pleasure beach today and it was walk on queues for everything it was fantastic! Rode icon 4 times and I loved it, favourite ride there by far.
Thank you for watching and commenting
I have a Pleasure Beach pass and I went on Sunday (June 24th) and I went on Icon 5 times in a row a it was that good. Going to see what the queue is like on July 7 for late night riding too.
It'll have a long queue but if running on three trains it will be a fast moving queue.
Pleasure Beach Experience Im also going on July 7th, will you be there?
7th July is mine and Becca's wedding anniversary so it'll be a theme park free weekend (for a change).
I first rode it in April 2019 and since then it has been my favourite coaster at Blackpool
Excellent
The only people saying this is a boring ride are people who haven't rode it and are also GP. No enthusiast would say this ride looks boring. The heartline roll is easily the best part, some amazing hang time there.
I am a general practitioner yes
Looks fab Haven’t been to pleasure beach for ages favourite ride the big one!
The Big One is still my favourite
I can’t believe I went on this😂😂
Amazing rollercoaster. For something relatively small it carries a lot of attitude.
loved this ride
I'm super excited I'm going on Thursday with my friends x
ChandelierEdits Enjoy it 😀
Love this ride go on it every time I visit the pleasure beach I remember when it first opened 🔥
We enjoy it a lot more than it appears in this video
Went on it twice in September first time front seat and enjoyed it but second time sat towards the back and though it was quite rough
Looks fab, love launch coasters. Going in a month or two
Let us know how you get on Sarah :)
Being only 12, the G-forces made me feel like my face was coming off XD This was my 2nd favourite. The big one was the best because of the first drop
@Suga Kitty it's amazing I'm 14 and I go with my mates all the time! Love the park so much were going again halloween day, and have also bought a year's pass for 2020. Amazing place you'll love it or if you have been hopefully you loved it!
@@iluvmeonly I've been there about 12 or 13 times throughout the course of my life and the only thing I didn't go on last time was infusion because *no*
@@7llininthedream infusion is amazing I absolutely love it! Honestly I feel people just make it sound like it's shit and awful, but I feel there just over dramatic
@@iluvmeonly !NEWS FLASH!
1. Been on icon 7 times now and it's definitely my favourite. Been on the front row once (save that for summer, in the winter it's too goddamn cold) and the back four times, and I can tell you the back is the best seat.
2. I finally went on infusion, after months of convincing. An tbh, it wasn't as bad as I expected. But those barrel rolls tho, damn that hurt.
@@7llininthedream amazing! I've been on icon atleast 300+ times 😂
There faces were so casual 😂😂😂 I would be screaming my head off
Ana Fairlee We’ve been on 100’s of coasters, plus we were wary of the camera’s position, read the comments for our replies to similar comments 😵
thankyou awesome and best and only lauch coaster in the uk thankyou blackpool awesome ride best coaster in the uk imo :) carnt wait to ride again
Rita at Alton Towers in the UK is a launch coaster, Stealth at Thorpe Park is a launch coaster also in the UK
*WHAT A BRILLIANT VIDEO*
Perfectly put together, im guessing u had gopros attached their? Beautifully smooth, i cant tell you enuf how good your videos are, 100% the best on youtube!
Forget the rest, this channels the best! Well done guys
AL4N 777 Thanks Alan, the on ride stuff was filmed with BPB’s GoPro’s during the media day.
It looks amazing
We love it :)
My daughter and I went on this 10X’s in a row yesterday. An amazing rollercoaster! 👍🏼👍🏼
Glad you enjoyed it :)
Brilliant brilliant video
I would go as far as saying the highlight video of 2018
AL4N 777 It’s not one of my favourites, I wish we’d done the rider cam differently but never mind.
Great ride
Ive been on that its well good its the best ride in all the pleasure beach its just so cool
Yessss I just went in this a few weeks ago (in the poring rain)(and at the very back seat) it was sooooo scary
went on icon yesterday, it was so fun but I was sick after it lol x
The seats are so comfy and the rides so smooth 100/10 I recommend this ride to enyone !
Ikr
What's the different between riding at the front, middle and back, will ride for 1st time this weekend.
Gareth Harris Best views at the front, back offers a more intense ride
I'm going on Monday and I'm definitely going on this. I like roller coasters that go fast, but not so fast that it's over in 30 seconds and the twists in the track look fun. Can't wait to ride it!
Crumpet Snail We really hope you enjoy it 😀
Pleasure Beach Experience
I went on the icon 7 times today and it's amazing, easily my new favourite ride. The first twist just before the small tunnel area is good as it feels like your being lifted out of your seat and falling but your still fastened to the seat. You aren't lying when you say it's the best roller coaster in the UK!
Crumpet Snail Glad you enjoyed it 😎
Going on Monday, cannot wait to ride this!!! 🙌🏻
Hashmina Rahman Have a great time 😀
Pleasure Beach Experience Thank you, i'll let you know how it goes 😂
Just wow, got on this 10 times yesterday (surprising for a bank holiday saturday) and ride it in the majority of rows (think i missed out 5) and I have to say it’s absolutely outstanding. It is easily the top coaster in the u.k. and definitely a contender for top 10 in Europe. The airtime is outstanding and it has some really good intense parts for a mack. It’s my number 2 behind Shambhala and i’m just so happy that the UK now has another world class ride experience!
Thanks for your review Liam, delighted you enjoyed it :)
liam harvey bollocks its shit
John Mantal No it’s not
Pleasure Beach Experience To be fully honest, it is tame and boring. I went yesterday and rid it.
ItzzzDemon I’ve done it at least 15 times, it’s by no means tame, slow or boring.
This ride is unbelievable never been on a ride so amazing
Glad to hear the high praise Kat.
Can't wait to get on this, I'm recovering from reconstructive ACL surgery atm but this is giving me some seriously incentive to get on with the physio. Great vid as always Scott mate :)
Andy Wright Thanks Andy, I’ve had surgery four times (2015-2016) because of cancer and had to watch others enjoying rides so I feel your pain, get well soon mate.
Pleasure Beach Experience jheeze all the best mate
Have you ridden Icon?
This is late, but i went on it two times and it was much faster than it seems here. The first time I was sat in the middle and I really enjoyed it but the second time I was at the very back and wow! The back of the car is a lot more intense and I loved it!
Hi guys, will be down between the 27-30th of July, what seats do you recommend on Icon, the front or the back, many thanks, Jill from Glasgow, and will you also be around on those dates? 😊
Hey, we'll be there on the 28th July we think, not 100% sure yet. Front row and back row are both amazing on ICON, have a great time.
Great to meet you travelling today liked and subscribed have a good day
Nicholas Johnson Great chatting, thanks! Have a great weekend 😀
Going to the Pleasure Beach tomorrow (: can’t wait to go on icon!!
Kate Enjoy 😀
it's an awesome ride, enjoy
Is it no longer cool to have your hands up ?
Prince Fluffy I was wary of getting my hands in the way of our reactions, it was my 3rd go and Becca’s first.
Hands in the air is so USA.
Dude, that's never been cool.
I always do that but usually other people dont and its sad and i akwardly put them down
You're not allowed to put your hands in the air because of all the tight spaces when twirling.
it is actually a fantastic ride
Glad you think so :D
I love icon but it’s so scary I was holding on for dear life. I had my eyes closed and was screaming at my loudest. It was the most scariest ride I’ve been on in my life but it’s incredible.
I've rode this ride and I loved it
Sophie Zorn We love it too 👌🏼
I love how you lot r just sat there like ur on the bus or somat, everyone else on the train is like screaming with there hands and u lot r just like NOPE! jkjk
What are those Cameras on the front of each 2 seats are they what the ride has and does it take Photos and Videos? Can you Pay for Videos to be done aswell is that including into the DigiPass? Or are they GoPros that people took on and attached cause I heard you aren't allowed GoPro's?
LeonieJosette Hi, this video was filmed during ICON’s media day and the cameras were set up especially for that purpose.
Aw, that's such a shame, would have loved to have a Video on there!
Just tried it yesterday! BEST RIDE OUT THERE!
Thanks for watching and commenting
Is there a loop on this?
I’ve been on this ride soooo many times and the Pepsi maxs
I'm watching this a week before going to Blackpool and its pleasure beach
Keira Davidson Be sure to check out our latest BPB videos too 😀
I’m coming to Blackpool tomorrow and can’t wait to ride this 😬😂
Have a great time :)
Icon Is Sick!
Love this ride :D
It's great
Excellent video, what's the seats like for the larger person, enough room?
Ben Yeomans They have “big boy” seats on the back row 😀
When my school went to the pleasure beach in blackpool ( I've never been on a roller coaster or blackpool ) this is the first thing we went on and I had no experience with roller coasters so I was screaming at the top of my lungs 😂
I love this ride 👍
Thank you for watching and commenting
Does anyone have any advice I’m scared to go on icon but it looks really fun
Go with someone, and tell them to drag you on it before you go to the park, no matter how much you say no when you're there. That's how I got the courage to go on the medium coasters when I was younger.
They r just so chilled out
We were :)
Looks mint 😀👍
I've been on that it's so smooth, but scary AF!!!! 😍
Elizabeth Steele it’s great innit
Just been on the ride today the que was full but we got on the ride in about 20 mins!!the ride it's self isn't that bad at all it's fast there's plenty of going upside down if thats your thing!!!and also the seating is very comfortable!the cold spray of water was nice too during the ride as it was a hot day🎢🌞🌞😎😎
Alan bird The staff are excellent at getting the trains out and the queue moving, glad you enjoyed it :)
A few weeks ago I went here for the 3rd time In my life! I’m going tomorrow for a school trip EEK CANT WAIT!
eyy, i was there yesterday too XD, but i'm in college ahaha, going again in 9 days, and can't wait to go on Icon again, 6 times yesetrday xD
Troy Smalley front seat is awsome you should try it
@@bowserjunior8593 I was going too, i first went on the back, but on my 5th time i hardly had time left to go on it and i would have waited like 4-5 turns to be at the front, whereas the seats behind the front was 1st turn, so i went for them. Overall this ride is really good and pretty smooth, and not rackity at all.
I went on this today it is amazing
Does it actually do anything apart from sway from side to side? Music seems a bit dramatic for a flat ride.
Two inversions, two launches, air time, interact with other rides (15 times), smooth transitions and an overall great coaster.
Pleasure Beach Experience Ah ok ! Couldn't tell from the vid. Thanks.
Anyone else find when they watch these type of videos you just constantly find yourself turning your head?
Love this ridd
Thank you for watching and commenting
This reminds me of velociraptor in IMG worlds of adventure
Went today, fantastic ride, very intense but also very inviting, the queue was when full about 15 mins
Jimmybobs I went yesterday too. Got absolutely drenched on Valhalla, given the gift of neck pain on the grand national and the big one, and rode icon five times. :)
The queue is amazingly quick, the ride operators are fantastic.
Not even gonna lie I was holding on for dear LIFE and had my eyes closed prettty much the whole time 🤦♀️😂
Closing your eyes means you missed the views!
Can u put out a version with just the riddr cam pls???
Crazy Coasters International We’ll film a new one once BPB is back up and running, this one is outdated and neither of us like it particularly
Blackpool pleasure beach taken any rides out to build ICON....?
Purple Sunflower Go Karts underneath Steeplechase, that was all.
What’s the restraints like I’m scared of falling out or something
Nobody will fall out
@@yourexperienceguide ok thank you can’t wait to ride this is august
I just hope it isn't too smooth like the Swarm at Thorpe park, I like intense rides...
It's really comfortable
Riding this on tuesday x
Is that rider POV cam a thing for the media event only, or is it a permanent thing?
It was for the media day only
Pleasure Beach Experience cheers
I've been on all of these rides here my favorite is the Pepsi max
:)
I have been on it 15 times it’s amazing cus I live in Blackpool 😂
nice
I thought the queue would be ages it actually goes fast
I had speedy pass it was great 👍
Thank you for watching and commenting
I'm going on there tomorrow
It’s not actually scary much at first it gives your tummy butterflies then when you are actually halfway in the ride it’s not bad ,the picture part is my fav because me and my sis take funny poses
