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

[Matt N]

I think that the Beornen could be the mysterious group in the woods that Alton mentioned in the Welcoming's storyline.

On a side note, I really hope that Merlin will provide adequate budget to maintain the ride after what happened to Colossos.

Honestly, I'd bet that somewhere, they'll be some uptight university lecturer who sees something like 'Wickerman' and brings up all that 'everything is a social construct' rubbish, and starts a petition over it.

This forum is a social construct, and every off-seaon, I wish somebody would start a petition against it.

I liked this thread more before it turned into the Daily Mail comment section. The theming looks great and there will be no complaints

Hmmm. The last clue was tree... this clue is centre. Maybe the new area name of Mutiny Bay will be Tree Centre!

On the further subject of firepoofing, the matter came up at work the other day. When it comes to set building, any timber thicker than 18mm is considered naturally fireproof and doesn't need treating.

Must admit, I'd have thought it's be a fair bit thicker than that!

 

[Tibble]

Maybe they are shutting up and changing into a garden centre that specialises in trees?

Oh, By the way, SW8 started testing last Thursday.

They did that quietly! Wonder how they got that past eagle-eyed enthusiasts! And another thing... I'm wondering how they got the trains past enthusiasts too! I'd have thought Shawn Sanbrooke or one of his Vlogstars would have spotted those!

Also, by last Thursday, do you mean 7th December or 30th November?

Just what I was thinking. How can no one else have not heard this and mentioned it. This is the first I’ve heard it’s tested. Me thinking the people running the twitter account have had too much eggnog !

 

[Brad97]

I would assume they tested it while no guests were in the park?

I knew it was testing on Thursday but was keeping it quiet.

So does that mean that when Alton Towers chooses to announce this thing, there will be a real POV to go with the announcement? Also, I think that @Brad97 may be on to something with regards to them testing it with no one in the park. I reckon they could have tested it in the night.

On a side note, do you guys reckon the ride is completely done? Or do you reckon there are still little aesthetic jobs to do?

 

[Britford]

Just starting work on interior theming (preshow, station, ect) I would assume.

Did they make you sign an NDA? Certainly wouldn't put it past Merlin.

I wouldnt put it past any company.

I didn't invent it! That's what Shawn calls them! Actually, come to think of it, I think he calls them "Friends of the Channel".

AYE!
