Wicker Man, Alton Towers

Drop: 72ft Speed: 44mph Length: 2,608ft

The first wooden rollercoaster to be built in the UK in more than 20 years takes riders past scorching flames and bursts through the chest of a 58ft burning effigy of the Wicker Man – three times.

That’s right, it’s a wooden ride which plays with fire. It’s been scaring the bejasus out of its ‘chosen ones’ since 2018.
