Alton Towers | Wicker Man | GCI Wood

Looking forward to the accurate reviews in a couple months when people stop bumming it.

Glad to see that there are some realistic opinions here on CF, though. People really need to learn to hide their “I got to ride it before you so I’m gonna say it’s AWESOME” bs. My twitter feed was cringe.

I won’t be riding it until May, but expect honesty when I do.

Everyone's reviews seem relatively honest at the moment.

Don't worry, I'm going tomorrow, mine will be a pack of complete lies.

Here's my review: http://coasterforce.com/review-wicker-man-at-alton-towers/

Yes, it is rather gushing but that's because I was genuinely impressed with it. If you take it for what it is and don't keep comparing it to other stuff, it really is a good all-round, fun coaster. When I visit AT, I ensure to ride Nemesis and Oblivion. Wicker Man is now on that list.

Here is a nice off-ride video of the Wicker Man by Theme Park Lost164:-

Great review, Bell!
I must admit though, I did laugh out loud when it said "Riders board the train eager to be scarified".
Visions of a bloke from GreenThumb waiting at the bottom of the first drop, revving up a scarifier!

Park security really need to do something about that.

The queue moves slower than Smiler's

 

[henryjwillis]

The app's saying the queue's currently 180 mins.. it's 10:25. I know it's probably exaggerated but still, bloody hell. Looks like I'll be postponing my possible visit this weekend to a week day.

 

[MakoMania]

Getting about 200pph at the moment. It's been down for a combined 45 minutes of the last hour. Stopping & starting every 5 minutes.

WOOOO WHAT A GRAND OPENING

Runs 3 trains then e-stops, what an absolute joke this is.

What do you mean? Does it send 3 trains round, then just stop for an extended period of time? Oh well, it's just a bit of new ride syndrome.

Out of interest, are they running all 3 trains on the circuit?

"The Wicker Man is currently experiencing a temporary delay and we have ceased our ritual".
Uhm... yeah. No sh*t, Sherlock.

They manage to send 3 trains round and then it goes down for about 10 minutes. It’s just gone completely down with staff advising guests to leave the queue.

 

[Lofty]

Potential issues with smoke and sensors causing it to E-Stop? Haven't we seen that type of issue before on other coasters/rides that have mist. smoke?

 

[Howie]

Aaaaaand.... it's closed.

 

[TommyAlex]

Wicker Man is down.....now how will Alton Towers make their sacrifice for a year of good crops?
