History
Construction of the attraction began in August 2006. Wicked was designed by Werner Stengel and manufactured by Zierer, with fabrication subcontracted to Stakotra Manufacturing. The total cost to construct the ride was $10 million, and it opened to the public on June 1, 2007. The ride has been described as "very smooth and lacks any jerking or shaking" by Deseret News, which also noted that riders were secured unusually by their ankles and thighs instead of the traditional shoulder and lap restraints.
Wicked is located in the south midway of the park in an area previously used for parking. It has a green track with mostly silver supports, the only exception being the bright yellow supports of the launch tower.
