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

[Bert2theSpark]

Wow, It's December now, The ride is probably completed or near completed now...

It's hard to think the ride is about 4 months away from opening and the announcement in the next 3-5 weeks.

Huh, It's weird thinking this, with this being the first major coaster construction I've followed regularly in person...

I remember the early SW8 thread days where we got the first teaser and everyone saying they wanted another Mack to take The Flume's space.

(Closed season is getting to me!)

Sounds like the current thread to me

 

[Rojo]

New competition for SW8 with an easy riddle

 

[WallisDan]

TREE

 

[DiogoJ42]

This makes the clues left by The Riddler in Batman Forever look like something from University Challenge.

 

[Matt N]

Looks like I've finally found someone worse at riddles than me!

 

[IanSR]

Oh gawd even my 13 year old worked that one out instantly....

 

[Moley]

It's a competition. If you're enraged by how easy it is, I recommend not watching any TV show that runs a phone-in competition - as you may pull your hair out.

So it's basically a competition to see who can sign up the fastest?

Not quute, just get as many people to sign up with email addresses for sending out newsletters as possible competition.

 

[DiogoJ42]

"Your data is important to us."

 

[Moley]

Er...no. It's a competition they want to get as many entries (and email addresses) from, hence the ease of answer.

 

[ParkBoi]

I think it's fair to assume that the clues will get harder and harder with the final one probably being a reveal of the ride's name.

 

[IanSR]

That we already have a good idea of what it is....

 

[Danny]

From TS Facebook, the theming element has been unwrapped:

 

[Matt.GC]

That's pretty much what I saw on the ground a couple of months back partially uncovered. Very Ram/Sheep like horns. I. Presuming the other side looks like that model we saw not long ago

 

[bluesonichd]

well thats completely ruined the look of Mutiny Bay !

 

[TheAverageNerd]

Wow, looks like a really cool bit of theming that they've managed to pull off. If the queue line is as nicely themed and the ride is solid then I reckon Merlin could be on to a winner.

 

[ParkBoi]

To be fair the previous look of Mutiny Bay was pirates and bath products. So i'd argue this is an improvement if anything.

 

[MakoMania]

I really like the look of it and don't think it is too contrasting to the feel of Mutiny Bay. It would be good if the area got a slight retheme though.
