Alton Towers Wicker Man Pre-Show

Such an incredible ride , its the complete package.

wat

This ride is the best one at Alton towers. You cannot convince me otherwise this scene was terrifying I went yesterday and I said "where's the head?" And my dad replied "i think it will reveal itself..." seconds later this happens. Well done Alton towers this ride is sick!

Is anybody else reminded of what druids would do to sacrificial captives?

I just got my first ride with the preshow at Scarefest 2021, its really good.

When you actually realise when your there the face looks kind of like a elephant face

I love the multi-sense experience they created. Watching the projection, you feel the heat of the flames, the smell of burnt wood and that booming voice!

Rab voice actor??????

What’s next? A wacky-worm with a ‘nuclear apocalypse’ theme?

Absolutely stunning pre show. I do wonder if maybe it shouldn't run during the busy times though as it slows things down a lot lol

Just another example of alton adding an unnecessary horror element onto a ride which is otherwise a great family attraction. So weird.

LET US FEED THE FLAMES!!! Let the ceremony Commence...

tbh it’s insane cool but i’m keeping my headphones on so i don’t go deaf

I went on this earlier today, didn’t particularly enjoy the pre show. I was the terrified little person I am, but the ride was amazing I must say.

In real life the pre-show is like 10x louder haha

Honestly though, Alton Towers hit this one out of the park with the theming and the ride itself.

Went there yesterday. Some children were crying their eyes out and screaming no.

i really wish i knew that there was actually a preshow before i rode this ride, like 30 people were bunched into a tight room and i was scared asf

I forgot how good this was when I went Alton towers yesterday

The most obnoxiously loud thing ever 😂 had to watch this like 2 times when a had a double ride on it 😂

My sister went to alton towers near covid time so there was no show before the ride but when i went a few years after it was great seeing the show

Genuinely the scariest part of this ride for me. Why? I don’t know. I think it’s all the shouting, when I was there it was like 5x louder, not sure why?

Is you

What an honnor to see yourself back on in peace to his soul can you se yourself in him…. THE TIME HAS COME FOR THE WICKER MAN TO RISE TOGETHER WE SHALL FEED THE FLAMES LTE THE CEROMONY COMMINCE

It's so much more intense in person. The voice was so loud it shook the floor, I could feel the rumble in my chest it was crazy

I want to ride this but i really dont want to see the pre-show because i hate hate hateee loud stuff because im autistic and struggle with stuff like that
I dont mind screaming on a ride but when its loud and in a dark room with bright lights around me i cannot function😭

Actually to add to my comment below, thank you for posting this so i know what to expect because i hate not knowing whats gonna happen!

I always have to ask to skip through this one it is too loud for me

When this comes on, it always puts me of the ride, I think it's a bit scary

The fact that you walk through the preshow instead of being on the ride watching it means that you are so dedicated to the wicker man that youre willing to sacrifice yourself instead of being forced if that makes any sense (or maybe im just thinking too much into it 🤷‍♀️)

Only now am I noticing the little person inside the wickerman's mouth

Or at least, thats what I think it is

I love this pre-show!

I got so scared when I saw it in real life 😢

i absolutly love and am jelly of how european theme parks are more ominous and eerie sometimes but its really cool on how they pull it off

This is amazing , my only annoyance is that everyone gets pushed into a room and everyone pushes and shoves

When I first went on the wickerman I wasn’t expecting a pre-show/cutscene

What do you call it pre-show or a cutscene

I went last year and me and my friends didn’t know what was happening for the pre show we thought we was going to pass out then when u move through the door I nearly got cut out from my friends

Illustrater:and that gift. Is YOU!!
me: WoOoOoOoOo

ADJUNTO

Evil

I remember sobbing watching this when I was like 10 then fainting on it 😂

This freaked me out first time I saw it and my dad has not stopped nagging me about it since

'We're going to sacrifice you inside a Wicker man'

Everyone gleefully rushes through the doors

Welcome chosen few, we have bjorn. For hundreds of years our family has lived in these woods, led by the spirit of the wicker man. The elders told us of a day where he would rise to give us freedom and eternal wellbeing, but to start that ritual, we must present him with a gift, and that gift is you! You and the flames, it is time he is here. What an honour to see yourself burn in wicker encased in his soul! Can you see yourself in him? THE TIME HAS COME FOR THE WICKERMAN TO RISE, TOGETHER WE SHALL FEED THE FLAMES! let the ceremony commence…
