THE new Wicker Man ride at Alton Towers opens to the public for the first time on Saturday. The ground-breaking £16 million attraction is the first wooden rollercoaster to be built in the UK for more than 20 years. Development work on the ride, which stands almost 60 feet tall, has taken four years to complete and involved more than 1,000 workers. Junior reporter and social media expert Hattie Harrison was the 'chosen one' when she grabbed a sneak preview – and the first ride on the Wicker Man - last week.
