Oakwood is cheap admittedly, but I wouldn't say it's good value. The ratio of pounds spent on entry fee to decent rides is far worse than the likes of AT or Thorpe. I guess that ratio improves for a 10 year old kid who has lower standards and is immune to how naff it is. I haven't been to a...

Yeah, in that voice!

I think the one ride op said something along the lines of "very naughty boy". The guy could have been a bit more subtle with the camera on the lift hill.

This If the restraint can physically lock, then you're set. Statistically, I'd be more worried about the journey to the park ;) Have a good one.

Amongst the detritus found strewn under any given coaster, I see hats, phones, keys..... but I can't recall ever seeing a video camera. I think the H&S argument is a bit redundant as people lose stuff on coasters often enough anyway. The keys in your cargo pants pocket are as likely to fall as...

What Oakwood needs is to invest money in scrubbing up. In general it's dirty, litter strewn and decrepit. The friendliness of the staff can be hit and miss too with the food vendors in particular being particularly rude. http://youtu.be/UimNkWbmzuI

I've been following the ongoing updates from Oakwood since I heard about the £4million investment with a mixture of firstly genuine interest, quickly followed by amusement and national shame. Oakwood is, after all, "Wales' biggest day out". Oakwood is clearly trying to do too much with too...
