Alton/Oakie Trip! - OAKWOOD UP...

Ah, but it's the fear of falling in, mixed with the fear of the most butt clenchingly scary ride that makes it, well... The most butt clenchingly scary ride every! Brendan Annoyinggit (or whatever his name is from the thrill lab) should go there and see how you can make the world's scariest ride using a few bits of climbing frame, a cow's water trough and some tea trays! Forget Saw! :lol:

Glad Fobia was running well for you. I've been there at times when it wasn't really addictive to re-ride, just good enough fun. Other times though (like the looks of it the same as your day), I just want to ride and ride and ride - it's just great fun.

Speed :roll: Brain shake and all day headaches are the only thing it's ever given to me.

I still like Oakwood, but I've noticed over the years as well more and more bits here and there closing and looking poor. It's very sad, it needs a real cash injection and just a few more rides to really fill out the days. Then again, when it's busy though you do struggle to actually do everything. I just like sitting on the grass feeding the seagulls crap chips anyway! :)
 
I've always liked Oakwood, my parents used to take me there when we went on Holiday to Wales a lot when I was younger. You do notice the changes since the takeover but its still a nice atmosphere and home to Megafobia!
I feel attached to it after being involved with the filming of their 2010 advert, the younger members of staff were a right laugh, and the rides manager was a nice bloke.
Riding Speed 7 times in a row without even getting off does actually make your body want to die though.
