The final piece of ICON, a new £16.25 million roller coaster, has been installed at Blackpool Pleasure Beach.
The track completion in the build of what the park are calling "the world’s most interactive roller coaster" was conducted by a 50-strong team, using a crane to hoist the final piece of grey steel track into place.
This sees a key section of the roller coaster complete which will see riders catapulted forward at speeds of up to 50 miles per hour ahead of soaring to heights of 82 feet.
