It is believed the ride originated from a cult of Scottish travellers who visited the park on their annual pilgrimage (the weekend after the Uttoxeter races of course, enough hell breaks loose as it is on that day). On this day they rode The Flume, unearthing a giant rubber duck buried deep within the earth. Scorned and terrorised by the quite frankly, fucking terrifying quacking noises, the cult retreated to the highlands to plot their revenge.

Following The Flume's removal in a desperate attempt for the park to banish the evil power of the closure, the Scottish cult (now calling themselves The Beornen) begun to erect (hehe) a statue to their own God. Given the male dominance of the statue, The Beornen opted to alter arse end of the statue to something which was less likely to piss off raging feminists. A glorified goat.

During the building of the giant <s>metal</s> wooden statue, park management stumbled upon the materials to be utilised. Before The Beornen even had the opportunity to mutter "penny pinching bas...", the wood pieces were cut down to size and flung straight onto the shelves to be flogged to utter morons in Towers Trading.

Eventually, Towers caught wind of The Beornen's scheme and feared the legal implications from the Scottish cult having not applied for planning permission. In order to please the local council, both parties agreed a wooden roller coaster was to be built through the structure (named Big Bob after a failed referendum vote to rename the bell within London's Elizabeth Tower), as the park had more luck building these sorts of things with shoddy ride layouts tacked onto them. (See [[Thirteen]]).

After much consultation, an American cult known as 'Great Coasters International' were drafted in to design the roller coaster. After some further meddling from a certain retired Right Honourable Supreme Leader [[John Wardley]], PhD, MSc, STD, MA, BSc, BA, OBE, MBE, HRH, the ride was completed well ahead of schedule (well doesn't that make a sodding change for once?!)

Legend has it that after weeks of successful testing, complete with staff and desperate geeks claiming to be press, and a pinky promise that The Beornen's obsession with fire would not pose a risk to riders, the ride was ready to be opened.

This was until Merlin Entertainments' very own evil overlord caught wind of the extreme marketing gimmicks being used to sell the ride. In absolute fury and his belief that wooden roller coasters are not perceived well by the public, he opened his shareholder's book of excuses and screamed a curse:

Wicker Man (Or Needstobequickerman, Wicker Woman, Wikiman) is the World's first wooden roller coaster to fuse wood with fire the World's third wooden roller coaster to utilise wood and fire, as well as the first wooden roller coaster to be built in the UK for 21 3 years.

Origins

It is believed the ride originated from a cult of Scottish travellers who visited the park on their annual pilgrimage (the weekend after the Uttoxeter races of course, enough hell breaks loose as it is on that day). On this day they rode The Flume, unearthing a giant rubber duck buried deep within the earth. Scorned and terrorised by its almighty quacks, the cult retreated to the highlands, plotting their revenge.

The following year, the cult returned to the park and sealed the duck inside a not so secret vault. With no budgets to remove the obstructions preventing access to the duck, Alton Towers were forced to close The Flume..... forever.

Following The Flume's removal in a desperate bid for the park to make it look as if it never existed to make up for its loss, the Scottish cult (now calling themselves The Beornen)

The Beornen did some things and got rid of The Flume to build a wooden roller coaster but it's on fire (That's how it got past Merlin's executives).

The Beornen got a lot of help to build their saviour, including GCI and some other companies to make sure all chavs get fed to the flames and go in Big Bob's belly.

It is the first Secret Weapon without some 'WURLDZ FURST' gimmick since Nemesis and the first non rushed one since Oblivion.
