I know thats because i said i heard it off other people. Some of my friends have been there and said that there arnt enough thrill rides because it takes them about 2 to 3 hours to ride them all when the park on averige is open for about 6 to 7 hours.Themeparksandy1981 wrote:You can't really say they need bigger rides like coasters or thrill rides if you haven't even been to the park before.coastercrazy18 wrote: So are there any rides planned for 2013?

The only coaster i thought they were getting was the children's coaster from Camelot? And to my knowledge that doesn't need foundations.Foundations being laid for the new family coaster in our new development
Oakwood needs a family coaster, Treetops isn't much of a step up from a children's coaster and if you are taller than me, 5'6, you can't ride anyway, otherwise a branch from a tree will chop your head off! HeheThrillJunkie wrote: Did anyone notice the FB update from Oakwood?

Looks like this new coaster is being built in the new area.
Much as I'm hoping for a new family ride, I have a feeling that they are referring to the 'junior dragon coaster' from camelot as the foundations look to be in the same pattern / layout (to the right of the log flume in the construction photo):ThrillJunkie wrote: Did anyone notice the FB update from Oakwood?

Yes. It is.ThrillJunkie wrote: Are we able to confirm whether that "family coaster" is the old "Junior Dragon Coaster" from Camelot yet?
Outdoors with an indoor section and indoor queue line, I believe.So the log flume is gonna be indoors and outdoors then?
There is no over-riding theme... it's literally just Camelot's leftovers. However, considering each ride individually, there are some very nice themes on the table, at a high standard, especially for such a small park.haydn! wrote: Is there meant to be some consistent theme tying all these ad-hoc attractions together? The only potential connection I see is Peter Pan or Neverland... but you'd have thought they'd mention it by now.
A flying experience. Sounds very much like "Plane Crazy" has found a home within this new area (no doubt it will be renamed and marketed as a new attraction).GIANT SKULL SCULPTURE ARRIVES AT OAKWOOD
A 12-metre-tall sculpted skull is the latest striking addition to the major new £4m family-themed attraction at Oakwood Theme Park which opens next month.
The giant skull is the centrepiece of the unique new pirate-themed water ride at the Pembrokeshire park.
As part of the ride visitors will emerge out of one of the eye sockets in boats before descending down a spectacular cascading waterfall.
Oakwood Theme Park director, Dominic Jones, said: “The new pirate-themed ride really is unique.
“It’s a combination of a log flume and a dark ride with visitors beginning their voyage on boats which lead them in to the interior of the stone-sculpted skull before emerging back into the daylight via the eye socket for the waterfall descent.
“Our team of themers and ride engineers have been hard at work painstakingly putting the sections of the skull together and I have to say it really does look extraordinary,” he added.
The pirate-themed ride also includes a
“The mix of log flume and dark ride really will make this a pretty unique family ride in the UK and I’m hoping the skull itself will become an iconic symbol of the new area,” added Dominic.
The new area which occupies over three acres in total – the equivalent of more than 10 Olympic-size swimming pools - will also feature a junior coaster, a flying experience, a pirate-themed galleon and a London Taxi ride featuring iconic sights including Big Ben, the Tower of London and Nelson’s Column.
There is also an interactive walkthrough area, outside spaces themed as London parks, a soft play zone, food and retail outlets.
