They sent the Drenched train to a company, then unfortunately that company went bust. Oakwood is currently looking for another company to take on the project and pick it up.

Oh Oakwood... It's our local theme park, we're about an hour away and I've been there so many times over the years. i still remember the old Assault Courses down where Bounce is now. We last went 2 years ago, and came away feeling incredibly disappointed for the first time. At £36 per ticket, Megafobia was closed (as was Drenched) and the whole park was, well, the word we kept coming back to, was "tired". And now, with the Ghost Train gone, and the Mini Golf.... even that wonderful old entrance/train station. It's like a shadow of its former self. Great vlog, very fair and balanced.

Thanks so much for watching 👍 It is quite sad to see how much the park has declined recently. I was hoping the recent refurb to Megafobia was going to be the start of some life being breathed back into the park but unfortunately my recent visit was very disappointing 😕

@@_adventureplanet They've been doing half price tickets for the last two months. Had an email this morning for the Fright Night for only £20. I think that says it all, really, unfortunately. It's so sad, I have so many wonderful memories of that place.

“I’m not sure what future we’re talking about” 😂😂 Almost choked on my tea. Nice to see this park again, but shame to see it struggling. At nearly £40 a ticket I think I’ll give it a miss based on this…

Thanks for watching Mortal. The increase in prices combined with the lack of improvements is definitely a deterrent sadly. After Dark is still great though!

Ohh Oakwood 😢 It used to be so good. I visited about 2 years ago now and it was feeling run down then, this looks worse! Great vlog though x

It’s definitely seen better days. I really don’t like being critical of a park but I’ll always share my honest views and opinions on these videos. I really hope things improve in the future 👍🏻

Fireworks look great! My first and only visit I did was in 1997! Park was great then, such a shame to see it in the state it's in now. Will you be going to the Alton Towers Fireworks in November?

Thanks for watching Steve. The fireworks are really good, it’s definitely a reason to visit the park during August. Yes, I should be there at AT this year! 🧨💥

The park was great in the early 90s. When the only rollercoaster was Treetops.

It was! It’s changed so much since then.

So sad to see the park still on a downturn. Haven't bothered visiting this year because of that. Great to know that Megafobia and Speed are still rattling good rides, they are great aren't they. Really thought Drenched would be up and running this year....what is going on???? That old entrance area too, was quite a shock to see😢 Great vlog as always, would loved to have seen you trundling round on the Crocodile Coaster 😂

It really is ☹️ I wasn’t going to visit myself but thought I would give it the benefit of the doubt. Mega and Speed are still amazing! Such great rides. Drenched and Spooky is a complete mystery currently, not even staff members know anything. To get permission to film on the Crocodile Coaster is my aim in life, watch this space 😅

We went 4 weeks ago on a Sunday and there was only 45 people in the park according to a staff member, me and my daughter did megafobia 28 times 😅

shame you had train 2 operating on speed during your visit, the other train (train 3) is honestly so much smoother and faster its ridiculous. Train 2 started the year off as incredibly smooth but quickly changed to the roughest train this year. Great vlog though!
