Good Points: The only decent thing about this park is Bounce.
Bad Points: Expensive food, overpriced entrance fee, not enough variety of rides, grows boring after 3 hours or so. Staff need better training and people skills.
General comments: This theme park is the only decent one in Wales and that's hard to stomach or say on it's own. The price hits me every time I have the sudden -insane- urge to go. And I'm talking about the entrance price alone. The food is awful and so is the pricing. Environment wise, it's a typical British theme park with typical British teenagers running around, there is little control from the staff who they themselves need better training. The staff look like they don't want to be there most of the time. Ride wise, only two rides really stick out, they are Bounce and Megaphobia, having travelled a fair bit and been to a few parks, Oakwood is not the place to go for "high speed thrills". The park is either too extreme or too childish, there is no real inbetween rides. You can only have so much excitement in one block. Yes, it is a nice park for locals but for locals like me who travel, it's extremely disappointing. Save your money and go out the country and find something better.

At Oakwood Park, Hydro is the joint tallest water ride in the world. Speed has the steepest drop in Europe. Megafobia is the 2nd best ride in the UK according to Coasterforce. Bounce and Vertigo are good if you're not afraid of heights.

Rides all exciting at Oakwood Park, varied in fear factor and duration and rides for all ages. Good catering and we enjoyed going on the rides in the dark with the lights! Can't think of any bad points. As all rides are exciting and mostly original-like the sledging one for instance, maybe Oakwood could consider another park?

Lots of different rides to suit all the family at Oakwood Park, Pembrokeshire. Best to visit during the week during school times if possible to avoid long queues. Food is expensive, best value food is to be had by speed, hot dogs and bacon butties £2, if you like tea, take your own it is dire!! The park is fairly hilly and people with walking difficulties could struggle.

Oakwood theme park has some of the best thrill rides in the world.
It has the UK's steepest rollercoaster with a 97 degree drop, reaching speeds of 95pkh! Hydro is Europe's fastest, steepest and highest water ride, with a massive 45 foot splash. Megafobia is the wooden rollercoaster, which is always high up in the tables for best wooden coaster, and it has been voted for many things. The bounce, a great fun shot and drop tower. Vertigo, the only ride that you will need to pay extra for, on top ...

The Oakwood theme park is amazing, and when I went the queues were tiny! There are good food stands and cool rides, such as Speed Hydro Megaphobia Bounce. The only bad thing about the theme park is the chicken stand and Spooky 3D.

Oakwoods in Wales is one of the best theme parks I have ever been to! We went in peak season (August) and the queues were still tiny compared to somewhere like Thorpe Park, Alton Towers... It boasts the largest wooden rollercoaster and the best ride - Hydra's Revenge! It is the tallest water ride in the UK and a truly breathtaking experience. There are, of course, many other rides, some large, some small. As a result, there is plenty to do for all ages and all likes of rides. Definitely worth vi ...

Oakwood is a brilliant theme park and a brilliant day out. It's the only theme park in Wales and boy do I love it! I've been there four times now and every time I have thoroughly enjoyed myself. The four main rides are Vertigo, Hydro, Megafobia and Bounce. Vertigo is an extreme flight experience which looks absolutely terrifying but when you ride it, you'll be proud of yourself. Hydro, is the fastest and wettest water ride in the world and is absolutely brilliant! It is a must ride!!!! I love it ...

When I went out to Oakwood the price to go in was all right not cheap but not expensive
The thrill rides (megafobia, bounce, vertigo, hydro) are all good white knuckle rides which leave you with a hunger for more and to get back on them but, out of at least 20 rides there only 4 main ones which I think lets the park down as going there as a teenager you would be bored in about 2 hours.
The cleanliness of the park leaves a lot to be desired as across all the path ways there are chips paper cans ...
