Wicker Man - General Discussion - Part Two

[Steve74]

Wasn’t that part of the planning agreement though - that the woods area got returned to being …. Well…. Woods

Yeah and they're protected which is while most if not all of the concrete footers of the flume - including the tunnel bit visible from the rapids queue - are still in place.

That’s what I thought - you can see a fair bit from haunted hollow

Interesting how they’ve effectively been told just to leave it to rot

Gotta leave something mysterious for future youtubers to make videos about.

It's crazy to think that Wickerman essentially sits on what was The Flume's station and queue line, with most of the layout (of what was once the world's longest log flume) unbuilt on.

Totally agree, the lake too. You would never know a lake even existed now. I always liked the fact that the turnaround near the entrance of the ride, roughly follows the footprint of what was the station of The Flume.

 

[DiogoJ42]

Hypothetical question: can us scum access the woods where the old flume was? It's not an active ride area, so I don't see how safety would be an issue. But I can also see how taking a single step off an official path would get you rugby tackled by security jobsworths. I'm sure you could make an argument that if there's no moving machinery, it is part of the gardens, thus we should be able to wander.

I don't think you'd be able to without actively ignoring no entry signs and/or fences etc. Physically I think you'd be able to (probably from near the end of Haunted Hollow towards Curse) but you'd probably have to hop a waist-height gate. Although saying this I genuinely havn't looked at doing it so I could be wrong.

 

[immelmanloop]

I believe there is fencing lining the whole bit off of various heights, so you'd probably get nabbed by security. Best to leave it rather than winding up the park.

 

[DiogoJ42]

Oh, I wasn't saying I have any intentions of trying. Just curious. (I visit so rarely these days I don't have time for such shenanigans).

If you happen to be the owner of two glorious wings and generally look a bit fowl, you can have a waddle around to your heart's content.

Can you hold a go pro in your beak when you do?
