I mean, I think the issue with the layout is just a factor of the ride not having much height. I don't think that it stood that great of a chance of living up to GCI lore in terms of a crazy experience or something with an out of control feeling. I think this ride will be very satisfactory, but its not going to be Nemesis or The Smiler.

DC High Heat

Funny how opinions on a layout can vary so much. I love it as I've said before, others really aren't feeling it. It's the opposite with me/others and some new Vekoma layouts...I think they're terrible, some really like them. Guess it keeps things interesting lol.

There is a reaction video up still. Just look up wicker man testing alton towers

Any coaster layout that has such an....uncharacteristically long pause in its layout and it isn't a brake run...is not a good coaster layout. You can do better with the height - it's not an impossible challenge. Hell Heidi at Plopsaland is a better GCI than this thing.

For a family coaster it looks pretty decent, however it's being marketed as a big thrill ride which is a key issue

Still better than Wave Breaker

^everything.

Is it really that bad? The pov looks like it is at least an enjoyable stroll over the lake?

Sure but it's a dual launched 18 million dollar Intamin stroll over the lake. These are the people that made Juvelen.

Could've gotten a megalite

18 million dollars, Jesus Christ. Still not as bad as the Wickerman budget vs outcome.

Oh wow. Didn't know it cost that much. WOW!!! Goliath at SFoG was just a little more than that lol.

At least Wavebreaker was advertised as a family coaster haha. It's a decent ride in the very front if you put your hands up and let the forces (what little forces there are) take over. Other than that... yeah it's not great. Some more theming would have gone a long way.
