tinhead Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 Just a short TR from Oakwood. We popped down to Oakwood tonight for the Supposedly Halloween nights, have to say it wasn't very good. There was no theming apart from some green lights and smoke in the centre of treetops coaster and a little island with dummy mummies on it and a few grave stones with witty comments on them. Oh and a dance show which only ran twice all night. Pretty poor i have to say. We were the only ones frightening the kids as we got dressed up for a laugh. Apart from that Megaphobia was rockin "man it was running like a dream" had two rides on it one in daylight and one in the dark and when I say dark I mean it. I couldnt even see the track and I had the front seat. When you get to ride on Megaphobia you realise why it gets picked for one of the top ten rides, it has amazing air time and no trim brakes so it really flies. Plus it has been raining here in Wales for a few days and rain and woodies usually mean a very quick ride. It was insane. Hydro was in total darkness too, and with the new restraints has lost a little of its oomph. but the drop is still something to write home about and you still get very very wet. The only other ride worth mentioning was Bounce two rides for the price of one one, half of the ride is launch and bounce the other half is a drop, so you get the best of both worlds if you're a fan of either. So I end my TR. All I can say is go to Oakwood on a normal day forget their events and just go there for Megaphobia it's worth every penny of the entrance fee. Our Hydro ride pic Come here children. Me and Tina having a cuddle Welsh version of Disney turkey drumstick Hydro's new restraints. Megaphobia Here lies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
