There’s always something new to enjoy at Alton Towers Resort and 2018 is no exception. This year sees the opening of the Resort’s latest addition to their iconic Secret Weapon Canon – Wicker Man.
Wicker Man
“The world’s first rollercoaster experience fusing wood and fire!”
Guests will embark on a multi-sensory rite of passage, in which they’ll race through a giant, flaming Wicker Man and be drawn into the mysterious world of The Beornen, a shadowy group living in the woods surrounding the theme park. This will be the UK’s first new wooden rollercoaster experience in 21 years, reconnecting riders with the primal essence of rollercoasters.
