Matt 236 Posted April 17, 2013 Report Share Posted April 17, 2013 Judging by the ride so far it already looks ten times better than Storm Surge and even beats Dragon Falls too at the moment. Coaster 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EC! Posted April 23, 2013 Report Share Posted April 23, 2013 GIANT SKULL SCULPTURE ARRIVES AT OAKWOODA 12-metre-tall sculpted skull is the latest striking addition to the major new £4m family-themed attraction at Oakwood Theme Park which opens next month.The giant skull is the centrepiece of the unique new pirate-themed water ride at the Pembrokeshire park.As part of the ride visitors will emerge out of one of the eye sockets in boats before descending down a spectacular cascading waterfall.Oakwood Theme Park director, Dominic Jones, said: “The new pirate-themed ride really is unique. “It’s a combination of a log flume and a dark ride with visitors beginning their voyage on boats which lead them in to the interior of the stone-sculpted skull before emerging back into the daylight via the eye socket for the waterfall descent.“Our team of themers and ride engineers have been hard at work painstakingly putting the sections of the skull together and I have to say it really does look extraordinary,” he added.The pirate-themed ride also includes a“The mix of log flume and dark ride really will make this a pretty unique family ride in the UK and I’m hoping the skull itself will become an iconic symbol of the new area,” added Dominic.The new area which occupies over three acres in total – the equivalent of more than 10 Olympic-size swimming pools - will also feature a junior coaster, a flying experience, a pirate-themed galleon and a London Taxi ride featuring iconic sights including Big Ben, the Tower of London and Nelson’s Column.There is also an interactive walkthrough area, outside spaces themed as London parks, a soft play zone, food and retail outlets.Issued by Oakwood Theme Park.

Coaster Posted April 23, 2013 Report Share Posted April 23, 2013 I guess the "flying experience" will be Plane Crazy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coaster Posted April 30, 2013 Report Share Posted April 30, 2013 Looks good. I hope they put theming on the warehouse to the right of the drop though, otherwise it will look awful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt 236 Posted April 30, 2013 Report Share Posted April 30, 2013 The log flume is looking brilliant. I've come to conclusion now the Tardis could be part of the London tour ride that they mentioned they were installing in the new area.

Coaster Posted May 3, 2013 Report Share Posted May 3, 2013 It is coming on well, but I hope the interior (well and the exterior) of the indoor section of the log flume look less like a warehouse come opening day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EC! Posted May 3, 2013 Report Share Posted May 3, 2013 well from the concept drawing, its got what looks like a massive curtain hiding it, it might b rocks also, I doubt they'd just leave it like that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt 236 Posted May 4, 2013 Report Share Posted May 4, 2013 Despite how average the layout is for the ride, this looks an amazing addition to the park with theming and a tunnel that put Merlin's log flumes to shame. Really want to revisit Oakwood badly now. EC! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coaster Posted May 4, 2013 Report Share Posted May 4, 2013 I think this will top any Merlin park log flumes as they stand at the moment. (Well maybe not Tidal Wave!) EC! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EC! Posted May 4, 2013 Report Share Posted May 4, 2013 that part will be a dark ride so no lights apart from some fire torches ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EC! Posted May 4, 2013 Report Share Posted May 4, 2013 From the Annual pass VIP tour and do I see a newly repaint green Plane Crazy in the background of the last pic?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coaster Posted May 5, 2013 Report Share Posted May 5, 2013 One thing I find really frustrating with Oakwood is their lack of urgency, even in summer holidays. Speed was on one car for most of the day last year (bear in mind that means 8 people every two minutes or so) and megafobia on one. Actually when was the last time they used the green train on that?
