Wicker Man On-ride POV

[@demoman4335]

I love how there is CBeebies land that is all cute and happy and then you have a literal Satan rollercoaster halfway across the park

Yeah it’s like Satan joined Alton towers and said “Screw it,Satan coaster near CBeebies land”.

i love how when you’re queueing up you feel happy/ excited to go on, but when u sit in the roller coaster fear fills you 😭

[@jacvic0790]

Other way around for me - shitting myself in the queue but loving the feeling once I'm sat down. That's what forced me to walk out the nemesis queue, and I still regret it.

I agree with you on safety being the No.1 priority, because for them to open the park anyway despite the outbreak would just be a complete and reckless disregard to our public health and wellbeing, not to mention how much more the virus would have spread... it just doesn’t bear thinking about.

[@Manda8789]

Josh Bacon They opened the park while there is a virus? No wonder so many people died already people aren’t taking the virus seriously a lot of people got arrested because they left their houses

This rides so much faster than any of the POVs ever make it appear. It's so quick! And relentless. As soon as you start the first drop it doesn't give you time to even work out which way you're facing until the breaks at the end

[@daviddoherty5698]

Went on this one yesterday and it was a pleasure to ride this one. The speed on this thing is insane, the G force is incredibly powerful fast. One of my favourites at Alton Towers. I hope this one stays at the park for many year's. Its good fun.
