IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS VLOG!!! I went on their new coaster, flight of the giant peach, it's nice to see that they've put some theming into the queue line, but the actually coaster itself is nothing special and is just a bit rough. It's still nice to see they are adding more to the park! :)
I rode the bobsleigh in 1987, had to go accompanied as I was too young to go solo. They had this assault course which was absolutely raw, concrete tunnels, tractor tyres, a rocking rope bridge and it ended with a zip line ride, just grab and go no safety line. There were also pedalos which went around a little island in the middle of a brown lake, some of the nutters on our coach trip threw each other in the pond.
Shawn I saw you on Monday whilst you were working, I was going to say hi but I didn't want to disturb you as you were working but I was so happy, the smiler and nemesis were my favourite rides😁
This looks like a really nice non-corporate style family park. Reminds me of a lot of the parks we have here in Pennsylvania and a lot of other places in the states.

Cheers from Bremen! You should visit in october when Bremen is hosting the 982nd anual "Bremer Freimarkt", one of the oldest fairs in Germany. It's packed with Huss' flatrides... Thanks for the great content - keep up the good work!
This guy worked at Alton towers and I remember my rich Mate got these VIP tickets where a member of staff took you around and got you in faster than fast track tickets. At the time he said he had 25k subscribers to us now seeing he has 80k is crazy, also I'm in South Wales right now and I'm going to this park on Friday!
Man I used to go to Temby all the time as a kid, Oakwood was always the highlight of the trip. I remember when Megafobia first opened - it blew my mind. I'm so pleased to see the park is still in good hands, it's retained the classic rides that still to this day provide good, honest, no-gimmicks fun, and most importantly has retained its charm and character. Man I miss this place, I'll have to do this trip next year. Do they still have the train ride to the entrance? And the old gold mine area?
Another amazing vlog, really enjoyed. Loved seeing a little bit of the new at the time ride "The Peach" lol. Sad it broke down, thats a shame and hoping this was the last time since your visit then compared to future times? If not, then not good. Enjoyed the fireworks at end, music was amazing. Congrats 100% to all those who were involved in creating & setting that all up. Good to see Caitlyn back on this event, aswell again the whole crew including Charlotte. Really do love when all group is together, looks like you all have fun times as a group. Loved the school scene, found some of that funny, but yeah overall really enjoyed. Going to now watch the Chessington WOA 2022 Update video to see what updates about Jumanji 2023. Can't wait, keep up the good work and look forward to seeing more videos soon. 😀👍
Nice to see Oakwood looking after the pinfari coaster way more than M&Ds. That theming is wonderful, M&Ds doesn't do theming XD. However I wish you were able to get on it, I do wonder if Oakwood fixed how rough it was. Another time. Great Vlog.
The oakwood vlogs are one of my favourite utility the one thing I miss is when you put the tents up like last year because you didn't show the poles being put up lol
Oakwood certainly deliver a decent summer fireworks and entertainment event during the Summer. Lee Wood is great at teaching. Dahl Land sure looks interesting, but it's a shame the coaster wasn't running too reliably. I hope the park has a good future and hope the place progresses.
Hi guys, I’m going to Oakwood on Monday and I’m debating whether to go on speed or not. I enjoy megafobia but I don’t know if I am brave enough for speed. Should I just go for it? Thanks
Very nice vlog again. Nice that almost all of you dared to go of the X95-slide . Too bad that the other X95 ride in the park has become so rough, I was in Oakwood for the last time in april 2007 and back then I really liked the Speedcoaster.. and Megafobia OMG ! I didn't see that " dark"-ride with the rabbits/hares.. is that gone? I remember a ride with a rabbit on a toilet with a fahrt ( ;) )-noise
Been going here since early 90s. Was so much better then with the go karts, nutty jakes and the assault course . The park needs a decent investment soon there's nothing to pull people in any more
Where are you lot setting up the tents this year? Enjoyed that bit of the video last year....next year's video remember to have the tents in it again, please.
I went on the Hydro as a kid before they had the over the top restraints m and just had lap restraints and it was amazing and terrifying all at the same time!
Did you know that oak wood chaged the name of hydro to drench because of a girl died on it and that's why they take sooooo long to start it with safety stuff
Question for Nick if he's around... When you get commissioned to score a display such as this, do you have to fit your music to an already predetermined display with strict timings, or are you given free rein to compose whatever you want and then the display is coordinated around your music? Or is it somewhere in the middle like a more collaborative thing? Really loved the music btw. As Shawn says, so much better than just having pop music. Nice to see smaller parks are still up for making the effort to commission bespoke audio instead of taking the easier route of just playing existing popular stuff.
Hi! Thanks for your question. Shawn and I wanted to do an interview but we got carried away riding rides! I did the music for the fireworks show first and then it was sent to the fireworks designer - who did a beautiful job putting it to the music. It was difficult - but brilliant to have free reign - as it's quite rare for a theme park composer to have that. It's nice when parks make the effort to have original music put in - especially to something as big and as grand as a fireworks and nighttime show. Thanks for your kinds words. Nick
Thanks for the reply, that's really interesting to know! I'm a composer myself and I've done a lot of work for theatre and a bit for radio, but as a theme park enthusiast I'd really love to get into the field of theme park audio. Any tips?
OwenEvansMusic keep doing music for theatre as it is the best training for theme park music and try and do as many parks as you can. Throw your enthusiasm hat away and listen to everything.
"Gonna get schooled by Lee's wood"
Really Nick? Interesting 😂😂

They stil have the train but the gold mine area has gone
Tenby*
The Gold Mine area went quite some time ago, I believe.
The ride was changed to a differently themed one........Brer Rabbit's Party or something!

Smile always......
The music was pirates of the Caribbean, and Lord of the rings mixed together for the fireworks
Sort of... Haha!
Think more on the lines of Gustav Holst and Aaron Copeland for influences!

Yayyyyy been waiting for this 😆😆😆😆
Abi Louise I
great vlog mate
I 💗 U all ways
I SAW SHAWN AT CHESSINGTON WORLD OF ADVENTURES TODAY
I was the one that said "Shawn, I'm a big fan of yours!
Coaster Maniac he was doing an event there
Where are you lot setting up the tents this year? Enjoyed that bit of the video last year....next year's video remember to have the tents in it again, please.
I'm sure we will do!
I like treetops as well in oakwood Park and brea rabbit as,well from rhiannon xxx
Just came back to this video and i still think chris frankling sounds like immalex
Go to cornwalls crealy they have a red slide that is like two times the size of the moon one at Oakwood
I went on the Hydro as a kid before they had the over the top restraints m and just had lap restraints and it was amazing and terrifying all at the same time!
Dammmmm dude I just missed you, I was out there on Tuesday the 8th
Great vlog Shawn 👍
I live in south wales and have been to oakwood 3 times and been on all the rides
Did you manage to ride Flight of the Giant Peach?
We sure did
Please can you go Alton towers on Monday, my friend has always wanted to meet you! X
looool. dressed in bathrobe im the back of the car. thats funny
the guy with video cam is very good presenter i see all your videos i like all
Thank you very much!
The vertical slide is kind of like a slide version of Oblivion
haha used to go here on holiday every year when I was younger👍👍
Did you know that oak wood chaged the name of hydro to drench because of a girl died on it and that's why they take sooooo long to start it with safety stuff
We do indeed, it was a very sad incident
I really want to visit this park, seems like a fun park, different to those Merlin parks I see.
Bit of a early riser 😉
a bit suspicious that I get an oakwood advert before this video...
When I went to Oakwood I went on speed once and couldn't stop
Funny thing is that new rollercoaster that used to be at m&ds was my first front row rollercoaster

So I heard earlier you said. That you can take a go pro and they check them if there ok. But do they have to be a official Go Pro??
They sure do
I remember the James and the giant peach ride when it was at M&D's and it was called space.
Still wondering how they "helped" with Lee's erection 😂😂😂
Pantzer101 I'd like to know too mmmmm
