Alton Towers | Wicker Man | GCI Wood

I'm really enjoying the gloom of those photos. Always thought woodies were better suited to stormy northern European grey skies and drizzle - not being sarcastic, honestly. I much prefer that than seeing them in the sunshine. Kinda feels more natural.
 
^This is why I love these forums, stuff like this don't happen on TPR or pretty much anywhere on the internet anymore.
Regarding Wicker Man, I think the layout is pretty solid, the theming goes beyond my expectations so for now it's just waiting for a pov to be released to see how it rides.
That's because Mr Robb Alvey deletes anything that even slightly controversial or something which promotes any other forum...

Even though he rode Switchback with ECG...
 
Also, I think the Scenic Railway at Dreamland, Margate, was the first UK coaster to combine wood and fire back in the noughties.
Excellent point! Woodies have been going up in flames for the last century, the Nash did it before the Scenic, and there were plenty before that.
 
^ weird, yes it has gone. They tweeted it out though so it wasn't anything sneaky.
Was same sort of schtick as the other videos tho' (pagans wandering around the woods, and then wandering up the queue-line) with about 1/2s of quick POV (screen-capped image above).
Expect it'll reappear.
 
Probably just released a bit early by accident and Towers just politely requested that it be removed.

It didn't sound like a major video so nothing to cover up really; just waiting for the right time!
 
"Cover up" was a bit of a harsh sentence by me. What I meant was exactly what you said, that they weren't ready to release it yet.
 
Very clever on their part - I suspect it's absolutely nothing of value, but I'm a lot more curious to watch it now that I'm not allowed to!!
