The 2,028-foot-long wooden track weaves in and out of the massive structure, taking passengers on a fantastic race around the Wicker Man three times.
To add to the intensity, the statue appears to burst into flames each time the carriages fly through.
The astonishing effects are sure to leave you delighted, exhilarated and eager to ride again.
