Not all that successful again, with only me and Gaz turning up . Something about a train and thursdays stopped ECG coming along heh heh.
It was a great day though, ?????????14.50 to enter a park with 3 fantastic rides, I think so!!
I'll start off by rating the rides:
First: SPEED - 9/10
I thought this ride was just... well... awesome. I didn't have my hopes up about it before we went, but it proved me wrong big style. When you're standing in line waiting to go on it first time, the lift does make you feel a little nervous but once you're on it, it feels so good. The drop is over before you know it, which... I dunno, I'm trying to figure out whether it's a good thing or not heh. It does have good airtime, but it doesn't last long. The airhill is RIDICULOUS! We had a giggle looking at it before we went on, just at how fast the cars went over it, massive ejector all the way over it. It gets a little rough around the bottom of the loop, but who doesn't like a little roughness [;)] hehe. The little hop into the MCBR can hurt a little, I know my shoulders hurt at the end of the day, mostly cus of that, having said that, we did ride it 13 times . The helix at the end was extremely high g, akin to that of Nemesis's helix, which is always a good thing, heh.
Second: HYDRO - 8/10
As far as water rides go, I was very impressed, the drop was just awesome, floater air all the way down, gorgeous floater air infact. Although if you were sat in the front 2 rows, water gushed into your eyes about half way down the drop, stingy. You do get wet on this ride, our poncho's were a good idea! heh.
Lastly but not leastly: MEGAFOBIA - 8/10
Considering I'm not a big woodie fan, again I was impressed. One problem with this ride... OUCH! Ok seriously, if you sit in the back car, be prepared for pain! At the bottom of the drop, it is especially bad. Although there is a fair amount of pain around the rest of the rides drops too. But like I said before, who doesn't like a bit of rough stuff every now and then [;)]. The airtime on this ride is probably the best thing about it, no matter where you sit, you get piles of airtime on all of the hills and bumps. There is a lot of sneaky little dives to the side as well, that keep you guessing even after the 5 times we rode it, killer lats on them too. If you get the privaledge of sitting in the back car of the green train, this car has now been proclaimed territory of coastercrazy.com! as we put stickers on the front of both seats and they were still there when we rode the ride later.
Just a few tips about the park:
In the morning when you first enter the park, you have the choice to get on a train to the park itself, or walk. My advice is that you walk, as for some reason the train goes half way to germany and back before it gets to the park, and at a rather slow pace as well. As we found out when we left the park, it took far less time to walk back to the park entrance.
If you are planning on using a mobile phone at Oakwood, think again, because you can't, because it's in Wales and I'm not so sure they even know what mobile phones are, let alone how to make it so there is a signal in places where people might actually need it!!
Ok, enough blabbering on about nothing much, here's the photos!
