![Th13teen [4K] Multi-Angle On Ride POV - Alton Towers Resort](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/hAwCIpkZSmc/mqdefault.jpg)
Went on it yesterday with my 7 year old. We were lucky enough to be at the front. The video doesn’t do this ride justice. It’s sooo fast and totally epic. Had my hands on the air the whole time and loved it! It was my daughter’s first rollercoaster and I couldn’t have been a more proud dad to be on there with her.
That's awesome!
Bro how can a 7 year old bd on their im literally so scared it's so loud when it lights on fire
@@fire_felix69 I know dude. I was so proud she said she’d do it! Taking her off to Orlando next summer now. Theme park Mecca!
@@emo_drummer_9398 u absolutely right man 👍👍👍
@@fire_felix69I went on the Shambhala when I was 7 ...
this ride is a MUST for people with a fear of roller coasters. it’s so fun
Just so people know wicker man is MUCH faster than it looks
yeah
Rita: "Amateurs"
Oh please. It’s a well themed kiddie coaster.
@@dylanmoriarty6428 it's faster than it looks
@@ronthemaster2841 Oblivion: what did you say?
I went on here today, it was my first ever rollercoaster! Do NOT underestimate how fast it goes, I was struggling for breath lol so I started singing💀
🎶
@@AttractionSource Best way to not panic🤣
Same but I thought I was gonna die
HAHA I love that you did that. That’s so me 😂
literally it was also my very first ride from alton, this ride was SO fast i had to hold on so tight and felt like i was gonna pass out
Went on this for the first time last week and let me tell you, this is so god damn fast. Not only does the rollercoaster go like what 44mph? The experience also happens so quickly. Doesn’t even feel like over a minute imo
It goes 55 miles per hour btw
Fo' real nigga??? If so I'm going.
That's not even that fast. I've been on Goliath and six flags great America and it's wooden coaster and it goes 74 miles per hour
@@DARK_AMBIGUOUS I don't think you appreciate the feat of engineering it takes to get that kind of speed out of a rollercoaster that can't be built above the tree line. At Alton Towers, the designers have always been restricted to keeping the tracks below tree height (for various environmental reasons). They don't have the ability to build massive lift hills and simply drop the coaster so that it picks up a huge amount of speed.
thats not fast ive been 80-90 mph
Definitely the best ride I’ve ever been on out of several countries. It feels 3x faster than it looks on video, each of what look like little bumps have stomach drops, the music is pounding and goes right through you. It’s incredible.
It was my first ride when I went last week. First proper coaster in well over a decade, and I was NOT disappointed. It felt so, so quick. I mean, I loved The Smiler and I'll always have a real soft spot for Nemesis, but this was without doubt my favourite ride.
Glad you enjoyed!
We stupidly did Alty Towers in the holidays yesterday 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️ and they're the 3 (!) roller coasters we did.
@@katiejackson7452 oh no! That's not good. I went on 20th Sept and did 13 rides. Could easily have done more too. Mind you, I was on my own so was literally hopping on and off Thr Smiler with their single rider queue.
Not always easy to do with groups, I know, but if you can do it term time...do. you'll get decent value for it.
Could not recommend this ride enough this rollercoaster blew my socks off
I have actually never seen wicker man run this slow. This must be like the first ride of the day.
Considering the lack of screams, seems he was the only one on it, so I wouldn’t be surprised
@@victorsshitposts9864 Sometimes entheusiasts are allowed to film with a camera attatched to th3 train and nobody else on the ride.
Such a unique coaster, and definitely one of my favourites with its theme and preshow! And the lovely smells it has!
The preshow almost made me cry
The preshow area an£ station stink.
I went on this, it is epic! Thanks for the nostalgia!😊
Glad you enjoyed! ☺️
Great wooden coaster! The smoke effect adds such a fun element!! 💛 one of our favourites!
Is Wicker Man your favourite UK wooden coaster? 🔥
for sure
Yes
For now it is, but I’m gonna ride megafobia tomorrow
@@wfcmarl6066 I’ve done both. I’d say Wicker Man is still better but Megafobia is good.
@@declanweston3827 im gonna go on megafobia next week but wickerman looks good too
I am a 13 year old that just rode the ride today. It's my second roller coaster ride in my life, and this thing looks not so fast. But when you go on the ride, totally different story. The turns are pretty sharp and the speed literally is almost at top speed for the whole ride. So much fun though, I absolutely love and enjoyed the experience.
Glad you had a great time!
I'm also 13!
Our 7 year old went on it yesterday with his 1 year old sister they loved it
@vonnyr1867 how did a one year old reach the height limit
I absolutely LOVE wickerman! The pre show had me even more drawn in :) was so cool😊
It feels double the speed it look here, on a slow day. Give it a bit of rain and it's blistering...
Went to Alton Towers for the first time earlier this year and out of the rides I went on, this was probably my favourite. It feels so fast when you're on it and it's just a lot of fun. Even as someone who's terrified of most roller coasters (I only went on this, Runaway Mine Train and Th13teen and chickened out of Galactica) I ended up loving it.
Ngl I found this scarier than galactica
@@AlannahMojoit is, this ride is a lot rougher
Yeah i went on the exact same the other day, but i rlly wanted to galactica, unfortunately it was closed
You remember getting that stomach dropping feeling on this ride a lot? I'm also terrified of rollercoasters for that reason only lol
I'm 9 and this was my first roller coaster
Also ppl who don't like stomach drops just lean the opposite way it helps
:) and if u put the speed to 1.75 thats how fast it feels like when you go on it this was my favourite ride in alton towers
Also the one that gives most stomach drops in my opinion is dablade ,nemesis and oblivion when they go down
Have you tried the rita before? The gforce on that thing is insane
@@ronthemaster2841 is it
@@Manboyxll_is_underrated have you been on the Smiler?
@@bomb3rhhh176 ye BRO IT INSANE
@@Manboyxll_is_underrated the first drop is the best part in my opinion
Been on it 4 times in last 2days trip to Alton towers,still ain't enough,I'm definitely for it next summer!Amazing Atmosphere & huge area of the ride
..drops you down like 10 times..20 times more impact & speed than shown in videos.Wicker Man shop not to be missed..exquisite stuff!
I cant imagine how friggin cool this coaster would be at night.
Introducing Scarefest
I've done it, definitely a must ride if you ever go when you can stay until dark
The lighting at night from the fire is soo good
also try thi3teen bc there are no lights and you can't see which is fun
Was always an oblivion fan, but after going on this over the last two days, Wicker man has gone to number one. Videos can’t get across how fast it is.
To say you get thrown about on this ride is an understatement 😂 it's SO fast
Absolutely amazing POV!
We learn from the best!
rode this for the first time on sunday and i think it's going in my top faves. Knew about the ride but i didn't expect the pre show and was blown away !! theming and attention to detail at AT feels amazing
Every time you go on it, it feels like it getting faster. Also, apparently, the tunnel is freefall😮
NOT THE BEEEEEEEEES!
AGGHHH THEY'RE IN MY EYYES 🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝
I love this ride it’s my favourite
Best one very intense
Looks wicked!!!! 👍
first thrill coaster I’ve been on
as of now I don’t think I’ll be able to go on it because of the little fire thing.
this coaster though is amazing
wicker man is so much faster than it looks but such an amazing ride, easily one of my favourites
i went on wickerman when it was dark. trust me so much better
YES
Absolute must-ride in the dark
I remember watching a wicker man pov video not long after it came out, this was about 1 month before I went to Alton towers for scarefest, and thinking “wow! This doesn’t look to bad, rather slow actually.” That your wrong. This is such a fun ride but don’t underestimate it’s speed.
Went on this yesterday, DO NOT UNDERESTIMATE HOW FAST IT IS!! Rollercoasters always look slower on camera
Not to mention the amazing mini show before you get on, such a good ride
Went on near the end of the afternoon at Scarefest and I was surprised how fast it felt and how rough some of the turns were. The 'big' coasters felt a lot gentler!
A ride I haven’t gone on yet but I will
First Towers Coater, didn't disappoint. Possibly my favourite coaster of the big 4 merlin parks.
on of my fav rides there by far,on the big drops it feels amazing 🤩
Agree 👌🏼
Wow, going on the wicker man was really terryfing but i was still happy that it was already over, i still couldn't believe i went on the wicker man, my friends forced me to go on it and i didn't want to be left out so i had to do it and went on the wickerman,
had the best back row ride on it yesterday! Cant wait for tomorrow!
Whoop! See you tomorrow ☺️
This ride is terrific. To all the people who think it’s ’super fast’ or ‘super scary’ it’s really not. I just went on it and it’s only a couple little drops. Your tummy goes a little but not a lot. Overall this ride is amazing and definitely not that scary. For those who are wondering, before you go on the ride, there is a little bit you go in and there is a screen and it shows you the story of the wicker man and it’s dark. 🎉😊
I love the storyline behind it as well as the inter active part right before the ride (no spoilers) [this was also my first ride at Alton towers]
I didn't like that part because it hurt my ears
The nerve it takes to invent a roller coaster this incredible
I swear it gets faster throughout the day
All coasters do
Wickerman at night is a beast
This is my fav ride of all time!>>>
This was such a fun ride but don’t underestimate the speed like I did. It’s such a cool experience especially with the cut scene before
When I went on this I was screaming “THIS IS WORSE THAN RITA” I didn’t realise how fast it went! But end of the day I love it
It’s not worse than Rita and oblivion is faster than Rita and wickerman is the 6th fastest coaster in the park
@@Callumss17 I know don’t worry! It was just a shock with a full bladder :)
@@livsv1be851 yeah nemesis is where the force is at
Sportsgamer 123 nemisis is my fav behind smiler
@@chaz4186 nemesis is better than the smiler in my opinion
Having been on coasters all over the bworld let me assure you...this rattles your skeleton. Breathtaking!
Went on it today for the first time definitely my favourite coaster in the park. It is so much faster than it looks you get so much airtime too👌🏼
Glad you enjoyed!
@@AttractionSource yeh definitely did😁
Wicker man is amazing the pre show and everything is absolutely spot on I went on it twice the last time I was at towers in April one thing IT IS WAY FASTER THAN IT LOOKS AND I MEAN THAT HONES THE FIRST TIME I WENT ON IT I DID NOT ENJOY IT AT ALL but once you are used to it it’s such a great time
I took my daughter in wicker . I thought it’s very easy to ride as my daughter scared of the rides but 😂😂😂 it was so fast . I was trying to keep my daughter awake and comforting her 😂😂 poor her even couldn’t scream 😅
Im at aulton towers and were going on the wicked man btw I love the smiler
A legjobb hullámvasút amin valaha ültem! ❤❤❤ Tökéletes!
Fantasztikus!
My first proper rollercoaster and I ride 4 times today!!! So proud!!!
Well done!
I remeber watching a show that built wickerman and when i went on it, it was awesome !! It goes soo fast
This is the first big coaster I've ever been on and I'm happy to say I kept my eyes open the entire time! LOL, I did nemesis reborn, galactica, Rita, 13 etc after
Nice work!
Best at scarefest back row seat 😅🎢 💨
Oh yes!
Do not underestimate this ride....
Anyone else love that little “peEEEeeww” at 2:15 or is it just me
The wicker man was a Blast im going in two week's and i cant wait
Wait what day I'm going this week?
@@GrassySlayyy Thursday
I wish some parts were changed. Like the un banked turn before making your 3rd and final intertwine with big bob. They could have made that a 90° banked turn. Also, they could have had the exit prior to the station so when the empty trains come in its like you have actually been sacrificed to the Wickerman. Apart from that tho i rlly think its a good solid ride. ❤
THIS RIDE IS MENTAL we may as well call it the first rollercoaster to not need seats, may aswell watch the video at 1.25x speed
This is my favourite Alton Towers coaster 😁
Awww I remember that drop before it dropped I said “this is the drop!”
I sat in that seat!
The wicker man was the very first rollercoaster in my whole life. I must say, it was rather breathtaking
Great to hear!
Went on it for the fifth time yesterday- the Long queues are worth it trust me!
Deffo in my top 3 alton towers rides ...doesn't look much untill you actually get on it ,it's a different ball game then it is rapid, coupled with the bit leading up to getting on the ride the hologram etc it's all in all a cracking ride
Wicker man is awesome. Especially if you love a wooden roller coaster
Have to go back with my mates again proper miss Alton Towers
Going to Alton towers next week
Waited an hour and a half for this today only for it to break down 😭
This ride might look slow but seriously don’t underestimate it I looked like I was crying because of the wind I love the ride🤣
i went to alton towers yestarday the first ride i went on was wickerman i loved it
This was my first rollercoaster yesterday absolutely crapped my self on the image I had the most distraught face ever
The way the lift hill changes angle of accent partway up looks like something someone would do in Planet Coaster.
Designed to hug the terrain!
@@AttractionSource Thanks Alton Towers for forcing everything to be below the tree line.
@@The8BitNerdits not their fault man
Been on this ride, it's not the fastest but it feels ANGRY, like it's possessed by a demon. It's just amazing
inwent on this and it was oretty fast i loved it
I went on this a few days ago and I'm not sure why but it seemed a lot faster compared to the last time only last year 😮
I’m gonna steal this video (even though I will definitely credit you.) because I will not break the rules of the ride.
(Thank you for this video.)
“NOT THE BEES! NOT THE BEES!” 🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝
Yeah I did get scared but it was exciting
Wickerman is so much faster than you think it is
I went Alton Towers Today And this is the Last Ride I wanted to go on but I never did cos I wasn’t Feeling well!But it look Faster In Real Life ngl!27th May 2024
I think this would be a great coaster for first-timers
This coaster was my first thrill-considered coaster, and I can genuinely say it is.
Wickerman is so fast I always watched this pov thinking it wasn’t that bad went on today and screamed so much I was not expecting it I couldn’t even tell what was happening and at one point felt like I was gonna fly out my seat 😭 found it scarier than galactica lol
Top favourite
2nd thirteen
3rd nemesis
I went on this when I was 10 and cried from joy and scared
Good stuff, is this footage from the original press event or is it recent?
This ride is best ridden with no knowledge of it what so ever! 😂
Looks legit. I’d ride. 👍
Hope you get to!
Went on this twice in a row in November as the day I went there was virtually no queues whatsoever
Alton towers goes wooden. Looks great
Went on the smiler other day, this looks more scary
Its my fave 😃
It’s new, basically at the end there’s a wall and it’s a ghost like figure similar to thirteen we were stuck there for like 3 minutes and creepy music played and I thought we would drop but it was fine it just made us go forward again and the wall opened revealing the station
There was a girl sitting behind me on this ride screaming so loud the whole way round i was in hysterics
Okay so I was 11 when I first went on this it was my first ever coaster and I said in the queue line “omg that looks so slow”when we went through the tunnel I screamed “I AM DYING”
Holy smokes!
When I went Alton towers as a school trip, it went much faster than it looks. It was very scary.
