Coaster Posted July 2, 2013 Report Share Posted July 2, 2013 ^ THAT is the one ride I will not go anywhere near! (I rode it when I was younger but will not go on it now!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phill Pritchard Posted July 2, 2013 Report Share Posted July 2, 2013 Depending on the final chosen date for the trips I should be able to make it. I can only do the weekends of 3rd - 4th August and 31st August - 1st September. The Saturday sounds like a great day to visit the park with the late closing time and fireworks display. As a big Doctor Who fan, if I am able to attend the weekend, I would love to visit Roald Dahl Plass outside the Wales Millennium centre in Cardiff on the Sunday if possible.

Topsyturvy15 Posted July 10, 2013 Report Share Posted July 10, 2013 Can Oakwood be done by train? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EC!

Ryan Posted July 11, 2013 Report Share Posted July 11, 2013 I might be interested in this, but I don't really fancy the 5 hour train journey, not even going to bother looking at the price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EC! Posted July 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2013 haha, well we will hopefully have people being taxi people and giving people lifts to cardiff at least. Do you want me to put you up as a maybe for now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt 236 Posted July 16, 2013 Report Share Posted July 16, 2013 I really want to ride Megaphobia, it looks an amazing coaster and the layout looks brilliant. As a fanboy, I feel disappointed and embarrassed that I have yet to ride a wooden roller coaster (mainly due to living too far from the parks that do as well as mainly only able to do Merlin parks).

Coaster Posted July 16, 2013 Report Share Posted July 16, 2013 how busy dyou reckon it will be in August? Oakwood is never packed, the longest queue I have ever experienced there was an hour for Megafobia and Hydro, but this was a few years back! Last summer I never waited more than 15 minutes for anything. They do frustrate me though - last summer at some points in the day they were only running one train on Speed (bear in mind this is 8 people) but I have heard that operations have improved this year. I will be visiting Oakwood in a few weeks time so will report back to here on how it was etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EC! Posted July 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2013 Just to say for those who think that Hydro/Drenched had a vertical drop....... sorry to dissapoint. For a water ride its still bloody steep! when you see this when we go its time to get excited!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
