    2018: Wicker Man - General Discussion - SPOILERS! - Part One

    Totally agree with all the above, this is a massive disappointment, I'm absolutely gutted. And at 43 I've probably been waiting longer than most on this forum, it's always been a sad little dream of mine that one day Alton Towers would build an amazing woodie and this really doesn't cut it for...

    2017/18: SW8 Speculation

    Selfishly I wanted a monster, a woodie that sprawled a large area and gave us a new thrilling experience. This though I find disappointing, it doesn't look like a thrill coaster, just a small family affair. Non-selfishly I can see how this will work though, for Alton Towers it's ideal and offers...

At that time I wasn't really into the coasters, I went with my local youth club because I'd always been interested in American theme parks and wanted to check out our own. My memories...

    2017/18: SW8 Speculation

    I've been a towers fan since 88, I've seen it develop and at times watched it fall but all in all I've been happy with their choices. The flume was the 1st ride I went on, I'm now 42, its crazy to think its lasted this long so I'm happy to finally see a replacement. My choice? An RMC woodie...
