About Wicker Man

Wicker Man is a wooden coaster by Great Coasters International at Alton Towers, opened in 2018 where The Flume used to be. Guests first enter a wicker dome for a pre-show of projections, sound and lighting. The train then runs 795 m of track, up to 22 m high and at 70 km/h, through smoky tunnels. It passes through a huge wicker figure three times, and flames flare from its shoulders. Minimum height is 120 cm.
