- Marvel at his wonder!
Captured over 18 months, watch how Wicker Man, our new thrill attraction for 2018, was built from breaking ground to the first public guests. In its first month of opening, over 100,000 people were Chosen to join The Beornen's ceremony.
Wicker Man has quickly secured its place as the public's favourite Alton Towers coaster, with the majority of riders rating the experience 10/10.

Felt sorry for the builders when we had that snow
Thanks for letting us have great time
What a fantastic ride you have produced over the last 18 months! One thing though, I'd love to see the plaza in the centre of the ride open to the public at some point in the future, that'd be pretty cool!
its a service road xD
No no, not the service road, the plaza to the right of the Wicker Man structure!
I haven't seen any plaza area
There's very little space there in reality - it'd be a very exclusive event, haha!
My second favourite ride at Alton Towers it felt like they made Wicker man in planet coaster in this video
Legitimately the best GCI I've ever been on!!!
Bruhh these builders need way more credit :0 :3
Rip flume
I'm from the future....This is better than Icon.
defo
Incorrect both same
Icon has better coaster
wicker man has better theme
I absolutely love Wickerman! Every time I visit I always look forward to riding it! The theming is incredible and the length of the ride is just perfect! The soundtrack is outstanding and the que line definitely fits in well with the ride! I love the pre show! Well done Alton Towers! This ride is truly incredible! Can’t wait to get back on it when we are back to normal
FEED THE FLAMES!!
Best coaster in uk, was already my top coaster after the pre show
Jonny Yardley The Swarm??
This is better
Theme Park Ben this ride kicks Swarms ass but barely beats Nemesis for me
Crash of The 90's is it better then the flume? Is this like a family ride which was super fun like the flume or is it some smiler type rollercoaster
Yes better than The Flume, though difficult to compare as that's a totally different ride. Wicker Man is family friendly, and is fairly intense in it's speed and some of its twists. It's a 1.2m min height so younger kids can go on it.
Thank you for making my favourite ride
Honestly amazing. I have been on it for the third time today and LOVED it as always.
wickerman was the first proper coaster i went on, it was insane and i loved it!
I remember going on the skyline to 13 and rita and thinking it's a wooden rollercoasters and then me and my dad were googling what the sw8 was but no ideas were close
Im a huge towers fanatic and i was so amazed at the speed it all went up!!! Soon as the track started getting installed it just flew up. Huge credit to the team, designers and construction team!
Congratulations again to all involved on constructing a stunning ride. It is one of the best-looking rides I've ever seen, not to mention it's a fantastic coaster too! Nipped in for an hour yesterday afternoon after work and got 3 more rides on it. It is particularly good on the back row, especially if you like an intense ride!
Great ride, probably my 4th favourite wooden coaster in the country!
I thoroughly enjoyed this ride and it’s special effects the Preshow was wonderful and the ride experience itself was brilliant I loved how you could hear the rumbling of the carts coming closer and the queue experience was very intesnse
So impressive how they managed to align everything up, how they built the structure and station seperate. Can tell lots and lots of planning went into this!
What a brilliant Ride, changed my view totally of wooden coasters !
Amazing coaster, one of the best at the park!
the best xD IMO
Awesome experience from start to finish.
DomDoesCoasters indeed!
glittabones it is indeed!
not better than the smiler
I'm so impressed after riding it. Congratulations alton towers for finishing the ride 9/10, it was fun, fast, exciting
Pawsome video
Instant like
This ride was a treat on October 31st
Haven’t ridden it yet but hopefully in the summer I can visit and get a ride looks ace
Can’t wait till Saturday!
So epic!
Looking forward to experiencing this in June, just wish we could go sooner.
I'm going alton towers and I have not been tall enough for rides usually but I am now😀 so exited for this
Was an amazing and masterpiece addition to Alton Towers Resort. Love the structure & theming, absolutely amazing. Haven't yet visited and rode a.k.a experienced it yet. But hopefully one day will do. Wonder what is next? RMC Hybrid Coaster? Wing Coaster? Second GCI Wooden Coaster? Can't wait to see what is next, cheers for sharing and look forward to seeing what is built next. 😀
I loved this ride so much this was when it my first time on major rollercoaster sit was amazing I went on it 3 times XD
We love you all
Wickerman was much faster than I expected. I think because it’s a lapbar it feels a lot more exposed than Rita. I love Rita but Wickerman is a more thrilling ride. Very cool video.
Cant wait to ride it
I went on this and made a video of it. How brilliant!
Nice video 😁
I love your new roller coaster please do purge rollers coster
I love it
Best wooden coaster in the world just such a queue! Alton towers is amazing the only thing wrong is the expensive prices and could do with a intense water ride but I'm sure Alton towers can do it! What can't they do?
LOVE IT
Didn't go on smiler wish I did but the music kinda put me of the ride I'll go on it though for definite!
Acc love the ride so much
I saw this on the tv
What a good coaster! although it was closed all day opening day :( luckily we got to ride it the day before and we went back to ride it but they were doing technical stuff so they had given us fast passes for opening day so we gave in our fast passes the next day and waited 3 hours in the fast pass cue and ended up leaving even though we were at the front for so long. Its a good job we did because they only let about 5 carriages go the whole day. but apart from that it was good but I feel bad for the people that came just for opening day, they had to close the cue it was getting so out of hand!
My fav theme park as well
we don't need 4 comments thx
I went on this ride and it was SO fast xD
going be a long time till i get a chance again
What an amazing ride! Just a bit worried how in the wicker man tunnels you have that dry ice. The dry ice melts when you go through it and it's really making all the wood soaked. I hope you are aware of this. However, great job AT.
They use acrylic on the wood to secure it don't worry won't go moldy and wet they also use other liquids on the ride to secure
Been going since I was 3
have ridden this monster of a coaster over 50 times and with each ride it gets better and better
Vintage Bricks No you fucking haven't you must have either a sad life and you go there every day que times average 1 and a half hours I'd day you could ride it 4 times a day so you're saying you've been like 15 times and only road this coaster from first minute of opening all the way to last? I call bullshit shut the fuck up and don't lie next time
50 times is entirely possible - I stayed at Alton Towers from Monday to Saturday this week and got over 30 rides in. The queue's about 10 minutes on a weekday!
I have been of work for the past 2 weeks due to injury and have made the most of it and spent 5 days in the hotel and then the next week visited 3 times. In one day I got 15 rides before it shut down for technical reasons
Vintage Bricks So you've been on it 15 times not 50 times
They said they had 15 rides in ONE day - and they were there for 5 days one week and 3 days the next. I understand that English is perhaps not your first language. If you don't believe that 50 rides in over a month is possible, you need to start visiting theme parks on off-peak days. 😛
💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
nice
I rode the other day it is a brilliant coaster and forceful
I have to wait until the end of June after my exams to ride it 😢
Don't worry, it's definitely worth the wait and it'll probably be more reliable by then too - having lots of breakdowns at the moment!
Mi going on the 1st of June and then on the 4 th of July
Is there a fast track lane for this ride?
evaschubmehl6 I went about two weeks ago and there was I think!
Yeh it’s like £55 to fast track it
Yeah, you have to buy the gold fastrack - but if you go on a weekday the queue's only 10 - 20 minutes anyway. 🙂
For when I go on it, I'm just hoping there isn't REAL fire because Wooden Coaster + Fire = *not good*
It works really well in 2x speed video
Omg it does
This was flaming brilliant! ... However, i DO hav one small criticism (to do with overall 'creep-factor' experience & aesthetics), a glaring design flaw IMO i.e. How could u miss out placing flames behind the Goat & Man/God-head's eye sockets ?? Flames blazing within the head(s), burning behind the eyes - now that'd be truly WICKED !! ...
With just the shoulders flaming & head totally dark, kinda just looks a bit lacking (IMO). ... Perhaps u could still place some in?? Hell, even if just 'LCD-screen' FX ones, like used elsewhere, (or just behind the Goat-head eyes at very least) - would be a seriously effective improvement methinx!!
Otherwise ... GREAT woody roller !! :)
All that’s work and they still can’t get it to work lol but a lot of work went into the building of wicker man and I personally enjoyed the ride after a lengthy que time
Worth going on a weekday - I stayed at Alton Towers this week and never queued for more than 20 minutes for it!
This is a re-upload????!!???
Oh of course.
Fabian Films xd
yes
Omfggg already been o it
Jess _ace no one cares
Jess _ace NO WAY I’VE BEEN ON IT TO WE SHOULD GET MEDELS
Sky rides just leaked wicker man lol
You wait about what 30 years to put in a gci woody my god Alton towers
this could be in fortnite for season 6 @3:35
Easily the best ride at Alton Towers. Beats the Smiler for me.
The Smiler looks beautiful, all that twisted metal, but it gives me such a headache!
First
The runaway mine train is better.
It’s so not!!
Frey-Frey Playz it's a joke
I know, it’s called sarcasm..
Innit! XD
Scrambled 59 forget mine train Octonauts is way better
