Blog | Oakwood Theme Park - Part 28

Speed is a little under the weather at the moment, but fear not, we’re doing our best to make sure this thrill-seeker makes a rapid return to recovery.   Here’s a sneak peak behind Speed’s rehabilitation programme for the week ahead.

On Sunday 5th August, during our daily checks before opening to the public, engineers spotted a problem with the chain tension on Speed. In order to investigate this thoroughly, the car has been taken off the tracks and the ride manufacturer contacted for further support.  

This week, to celebrate Welsh cyclist Geraint Thomas MBE winning the prestigious Tour de France, Oakwood Theme Park are allowing children free entry to the theme park if they are wearing their own version of a yellow jersey!

Applications open to anyone under the age of 16. Wales’ biggest theme park, Oakwood, has launched a Wales-wide campaign to find three young theme-park-lovers to become its very own ‘Directors of Fun.’

Forget the usual attractions: Wales is the ideal destination for any family after an epic adventure. Whether it’s go-kart-racing, canal boat-cruising, or underground-trampolining in a Welsh slate mine (yes, you can!), there’s a whole host of family-friendly activities for everyone here.
