Alive and well in Oakwood

[Cyberleader]

I'm going to Oakwood on (I think) the 19th August. 18 days to go...

I have (unfotunatley) never been before, so...any reccomendations/suggestions/whatever?

Thanks peeps!

Yeah. You must ride Megafobia. Its such an awesome coaster and I believe it's one of the best in the world. Also check out hydro. It's an intamin giant flume ride that is 120 ft high and has insane/incredible G forces. Be careful though because you will get wet. In my opinon it is better than megafobia but you will find out for yourself when you go.

I shall, Speed looks cool too! I look forward to Megaphobia and speed sooo...:D

It's definitely not one of the all-time great thrill rides, but I thought Bobsleigh was a lot of fun. How much fun is partly dependent upon how easy you are on the brakes -- you control the braking for your sled.

Oakwood is fun! The must do rides are: Megafobia, Hydro, Speed and Vertigo. Also don't miss the Bobsleigh, the Bounce, Treetops (which is actually really fun for a kiddie coaster), Plane Crazy and Pirate Ship. Most of the other rides are for small children.

Also, you have to ride Megafobia in the dark (It's AMAZING!). Then watch the fireworks display at 10pm.

I am there this coming weekend with the European Coaster Club...we are in the park Friday and Saturday and many of us are actually camping out in the park itself Friday and Saturday night (in a big field next to Hydro).

Megafobia is great, one of my favourite woodies, and is celebrating 10 years of operating this year. They have a fun (140ft tall) Sky Coaster (Vertigo). The bobsleigh is manic (and potentially a bit dangerous) in the wet...as even with the brakes full-on they don't stop the cars! I have yet to ride Speed, but we have exclusive riding time on it Friday night in the dark!

It was where I first got naked on a coaster!

Also Cyberleader, you must tell me about what speed is like because construction had not even started on it when I was a Oakwood so I've never had the chance to experience it for myself

You must check out Speed. Gerstlauer's Eurofighter's are just too awesome. They just have one hell of a first 97 degrees drop!

If it's raining brake for the corners on the bobsled. Don't be a macho idiot like me, because your pride is far more hurt when you fall out halfway round. Trust me on this.

Other than that ride everything at least once (TBH Megaphobia needs to be ridden twice) and enjoy yourself. The park isn't massive, certainly not compared to Alton Towers so you should be able to ride everything in one day.
