Wicker Man is a wooden roller coaster at Alton Towers theme park in Staffordshire, United Kingdom.

He stated that he was "very impressed with the basic layout, the choice of manufacturer, and the theming concept"[9] but criticised the ride's profile, in particular calling the first drop "atrocious".

[10] The first two drops were subsequently redesigned based on ideas he submitted, but the project was too far into development to alter other areas he described as lacking "major thrill".

[11] In 2017, a path leading from Mutiny Bay to Katanga Canyon was closed for the season for vehicle access to the construction site.

The lift hill's construction reached its highest point in early July, and by October 2017, sections of track were installed.

A countdown began on Alton Towers' social media accounts in early January 2018, each day displaying a photo of each of the previous "Secret Weapon" roller coasters.

On the eighth day, when all of the previous roller coasters had been displayed, the park announced the ride's name to be Wicker Man.

[18] In a post on X in response to the incident, an Alton Towers spokesperson stated that Wicker Man is made out of "fire resistant treated wood that prevents ignition.The ride reopened on the 17th of August after essential repairs.

[19] On 16 March 2016, the park's "Towers Loving Care" Twitter account shared an image of construction fences surrounding its defunct attraction, The Flume.

Several days following the video's release, signs around the construction site were updated with a phrase written in runic alphabet transliterating to "Be Chosen".

The ride's potential name and logo was leaked by a website on 25 August 2017, discovered through a trademark filing by Alton Towers.

Be chosen on the night where the living meets the dead.Wicker Man's official name and logo were confirmed in a press release on 8 January 2018.

[22] The ride begins with a preshow in a wicker dome using video projection, sound and lighting effects, before guests pass into the station.

Then, they pass the booth from which they can view and buy their photos, before entering the Wicker Man Shop, which takes them back out to the entrance plaza.
