The verdict
Stealth sweeps every comparable stat. There is no line on the card where Wicker Man is the better pick, so the only way this duel turns is on who calls the stat.
Stealth is a steel Accelerator Coaster coaster at Thorpe Park, GB, built by Intamin. Wicker Man is a wooden Wooden coaster with fire-effect pass-throughs coaster at Alton Towers, GB, built by Great Coasters International.
Both are in GB, which puts them in the same conversation for anyone planning a trip there.
