Nrthwnd Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 ^ Yes, it was a train. It went slowly Into a tunnel and then into the world of bunny sex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rctneil Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 I heard about this a few days ago. It was truly a bizarre ride and I think it's past due for being replaced. Glad I got to ride it before it goes though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cfc Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 This ride was, shall we say, unique in its portrayal of bunny culture. The party . . . . . . the aftermath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henry M Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 I go to Wales quite a lot, but I never went here. Is it a park worth visiting if within an hour drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nrthwnd Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 ^ I believe Oakwood has one of the first Euro-Fighters ever built (Speed). Megafobia is a wild, if rough, wooden coaster. And Treetops Coaster that actually goes through the trees... well, let`s just say you had to quickly knock a few branches out of the way, as you were riding. It also has HYDRO, which is now one of The Only High Water Drop rides around. Not sure if that's true now, but I did ride it back in 2006 and 2010... and it is a total drencher. This might not be much help from me. The park is in a nice forested setting with plenty of shade to enjoy. Keeping HYDRO filled up with fresh water. Note the drop behind the guy? eep.

Nrthwnd Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 Oakwood Park is CLOSING??? Or so the rumors go. It was one of my fave parks in the UK to visit, with TPR. And I gained my 100th coaster credit there, which was really cool to do. I will miss it w/ Megafobia, Bunny Sex Tunnels, Speed, Treetops Coaster..... Myself, on my #100 coaster: Clown Coaster.

CoasterGuy06 Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 Oakwood Theme Park has officially announced its permanent closure with the owners intending to distribute the park's assets to other properties they own. The park will not open for the 2025 season. (Photos and video from Theme Park Review) https://www.oakwoodthemepark.co.uk/blog/sin-categoria/oakwood-theme-park-to-close/ It is with much sadness that we have to announce the immediate closure of Oakwood Theme Park and confirm the park will not open for the 2025 season. Following a strategic review of the business, Aspro Parks, owner and operator of Oakwood Theme Park have reached this difficult decision due to the challenges presented by the current business environment. All possible avenues have been explored to avoid the closure, and we fully recognise the impact of the closure on the local community and the loss that will be felt as a result. Aspro Parks has invested over £25M since rescuing the park from being at risk of closure in 2008. Most recently a major refurbishment of Megafobia, the iconic wooden rollercoaster was completed to great success and acclaim from enthusiasts and fans of the park. Despite the ongoing investment visitor numbers have declined, the financial performance of the park has suffered, making further investment unsustainable. The unrelenting economic challenges ahead, increases in costs, affecting all areas of the operation from; ride parts to electricity costs, food and beverage inflation, increases in NLW and changes to national insurance thresholds have all impacted the decision. A statement from Aspro Parks Group said “in the entire history of Aspro we have never closed any park or attraction. We, and our dedicated team of staff has strived to overcome numerous challenges to continue to bring joy to families and visitors across the region and country. Unfortunately, we could no longer see a sustainable way forward and will seek to improve our other parks using the assets and where possible team elsewhere”. We are aware that Oakwood has been a much-loved destination for generations and a rite of passage for many young visitors. It is for this reason we feel such a sense of sadness. We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to the dedication and commitment of our team members past and present, suppliers and contractors who have loyally supported us and of course all those that have visited Oakwood Theme Park over the years. We are sincerely grateful. Thank you for making Oakwood Theme Park a special place. https://www.oakwoodthemepark.co.uk/blog/sin-categoria/important-notice-security-measures-at-oakwood-theme-park/ Following our recent announcement regarding the closure of Oakwood Theme Park, we have unfortunately experienced incidents of trespassing on the premises. We want to make it explicitly clear that Oakwood Theme Park is private property and is not abandoned. Our team continues to work on-site daily, and unauthorised access is strictly prohibited. To ensure the safety and security of both our staff and the premises, 24-hour security is in place, including regular police patrols and security dogs on-site. Anyone found trespassing will be reported to the authorities and could face prosecution. We also ask that neighbouring businesses and properties are respected, and that no one attempts to use their sites as a means of access to Oakwood Theme Park. We urge the public to respect the park, as well as the hard work and dedication of those who continue to maintain the site. For any enquiries regarding Oakwood Theme Park, please contact our head office at headoffice@asprouk.com 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nrthwnd Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 ^ Well, they appear to have covered "everything", there. I think. Ha ha? One of my fave Oakwood pix, is of their drop (?) tower And the .... uh .... statue of it .....? On the UK-Europe Tour, 2010. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prozach626 Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 That may be even better than 'dick rock falls' at Kentucky Kingdom. It might not be quite as anatomically correct, but DRF sprays people... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
