BST are pleased to have been involved with the Iconic new steel coaster at Blackpool Pleasure beach - ICON.
The £16.25m Icon is a double launch coaster which means guests experience the G-force as felt by the diver of a Formula 1 car.
BST were commissioned to design and install the high-pressure water fog system that fills the valleys and drops with thick, opaque, fog so riders cannot see where the ride is heading next! With over 300 fog nozzles running at 70 Bar G the system atomises 45 litres of water per minute - the largest fog system in the UK!
BST were delighted to be asked by Merlin Magic Making to design and install the special effects on their new wooden rollercoaster, Wicker Man.
BST provide six giant propane burners which required five dedicated propane tanks storing 10,000kg of propane. In addition, 12 metres of simulated flame was installed in the loading area together with fragrances of burning wood - delivered by BST's latest fragrance system, the CFS-5.
