I wanted to note that Oakwood - the largest theme park in Wales - has closed, without notice. The park, which opened in 1987, had its last day of operation in November before closing for what was thought to be the season.
Now, the closing is permanent. The owner, Aspro Parks, cited "unrelenting economic challenges," according to the BBC: https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c778vdj21zxo
Oakwood had a few notable roller coasters, including a CCI woodie (Megafobia) and a Gerstlauer Euro-Fighter (Speed: No Limits). No word yet on what might happen to them or any of the other rides at the park.
I never visited and can't recall ever covering anything from this park before, which is why I did not put this on the front page. But I wanted to note the park's passing here, in case anyone had anything to say.
No responses yet. Why not be the first to reply?
