MEGA-GLOW MANIA FOR ROLLERCOASTER FANATICS AT OAKWOOD THEME PARK Dozens of the UK’s most fanatical roller coaster fans descended on Oakwood Theme Park to enjoy their annual after-dark event. Members of the Roller Coaster Club of Great Britain visited the Pembrokeshire attraction for a special weekend of thrills including an after dark ride event known as Mega-Glow-Mania. Described as a high-speed party, the event sees members donning glow in the dark costumes to enjoy an hour’s rollercoaster ride complete with musical accompaniment after the sun has set. Oakwood is a firm favourite with the members due to Megafobia - the last wooden roller coaster built in the UK - over 100 have been built around the world since, but none in the UK. Chairman of the RCCGB Andy Hine MBE, who has ridden well over 1,000 different roller coasters, said: “Our calendar of events wouldnt be complete without our annual pilgrimage to Oakwood. “The UK has so few wooden coasters and Megafobia still remains one of the world’s best. “The continual improvements and investments in the Park will ensure we come back year after year,” he added. Members of the Club were also able to ride Speed, during a private session and other activities included a baseball game with wooden coaster fans pitted against steel coaster fans. Megafobia has been voted the best ride in the UK and the third best ride in the world by coaster enthusiasts. With a top speed in excess of 75 kph and 25 metre drops towards a lake combined with unique crossovers the twister has attained legendary status among coaster fans worldwide.
