Wicker Man, Wooden roller coaster in Alton Towers Resort, United Kingdom
The Wicker Man roller coaster features 795 meters of wooden track with three passes through a 15-meter-tall burning effigy structure.
Opening in March 2018, this £16 million attraction became the first wooden roller coaster constructed in the United Kingdom since 1996.
The entire attraction incorporates elements from pagan traditions, featuring the fictional Beornen community who abandoned modern life for natural existence.
Riders must reach a minimum height of 1.2 meters to experience the three-and-a-half-minute journey at speeds up to 68 kilometers per hour.
The combination of wooden track engineering and fire effects creates an experience where riders pass through a burning structure three times.
