I went to Oakwood a few years ago which happened to be a day before a girl died on a ride there. I went again last week and I was appauled to see the toilets were blocked. When I went on the Pirate ship it went too high and I was 1/4 people on it and we were all shouting stop and he just made it go higher. I went on Megafobia which was fun but was very creaky and a quite alot of the wood was rotten. The golf was meant to be free but actually cost a pound each! About 4 of the rides were closed! Don't go!

Oakwood is a great theme park! It has a lot of big rides and then some more hidden away (well they are easy to find, but come as a good surprise) like spooky 3D. The only problems I have with this park is that not all the rides were open, and they only run one train on each ride which leads to HUGE queueing times. For example on speed, their biggest ride they only had one train on, and it only takes eight people around it on one ride when full. I think that their four must-do big rides are Drenched (used to be called Hydro which was a much better name), Megafobia, Speed and Bounce (although bounce is rarley ever open.) Overall you will enjoy Oakwood no matter what age you are as they have fantastic rides, but try to contact them before going to make sure that all the rides are open.

I loved Oakwoods it was really fantastic. the rides were very good especially the treetops rollercoaster that is my favouite ride of all time!!! and me and my friend went on it about 30 times!!! it was so much fun. I LOVE IT! The only let down was all the birds trying to get all your food but i didn't really like the food so it didn't really matter other than that oakwoods is AMAZING!!!

I have visited Oakwood quite a few times, and has been able to enjoy it with out any inconvinience. However, this time I visted Oakwood has been a mayjour let down, the toilets were a discrace, they were very dirty, and smelt of uirin. 4 rides were only manned by 2 people, this caused many problems, We couldn't get on the rides we wanted to, however, aswell as having a little child, this is not the standard i would expect to have for the money i paied. It certainly isn't worth it anymore. This place really looks scruffy, they need to atleast give it a lick of paint, and keep the toliets clean!! Also, the prices were terrible, I advise anyone which oes decide to go to Oakwood theame park to take their own pack lunches. I will not be visiting this place again, unless it became up to the standards it should be.

Just returned from a day out at oakwood and have to say i was rather disappointed, I have lived in the county for over 17 years and have been going every year but this year has been a major let down, the park is in a dreadful state with most of the woodwork needing sanding and painting, the rides needing a good clean as they are covered in algae . The toilets next to speed stinks inside of sewerage that you don't want to use them and the smell walking past the toilet is just horrendous and was making my wife heave whilst trying to eat our burgers from the take away situated no more than 200 yards from these toilets. Also a lot of the smaller rides and sweet stalls wasn't open and some rides only operating on the hour. Having paid over £70 to enter the park I expected everything to be available, If you only offer three quarters of the features you advertise then you should offer people a reduced entrance fee or at least let them know in advance that some features are not available. I know the park is under new ownership and you are probably still finding your feet but you need to bring the park back to the standard it was before, i can see you getting a lot more complaints if you don't get the park back to the standard it has been, sorry oakwood but I don't know if I will be returning to the park this year...... This review was posted on their facebook site but they decided to delete it along with the following replies which i have the original email updates if anyone wishes to clarify these.

It's also worth saying that with over 400,000 visitors each year, it's impossible for us to please everyone. Your complaints come as a bit of a surprise to us as it's the first we've heard of the issues - naturally we'll look into it and I'll pass the comments you make onto the relevant people. It's worth noting that we advertise quite clearly on several pages on our website that 'On quieter days, some rides may operate in rotation and in some circumstances closed - however we will make this clear at the entrance tills on the date of your visit. If you have any queries or would like to check availability for a certain date, please call 01834 891373 and we will do our best to assist you.'. I have checked with the staff that were on duty today and all the above forms of notifying our guests of any closures or rotations were followed. We're sorry to see you didn't enjoy your day but we hope you come back soon." Jacqueline Adams commented on your photo. Jacqueline wrote "Thought the same here..... dirty and old looking .... needs some serious money spent on it" Oakwood Theme Park commented on your photo. Oakwood Theme Park wrote "Jacqueline, did you tell us at the time if you thought something was dirty and old? All feedback helps and it would have been great to know at the time if something wasn't as it should have been. We can't see things through your eyes unless you actually tell a member of staff on the day. If something needed cleaning and you'd have told us, it'd have been done! That said, we are on patrol at all times in the day and our cleaning standards are usually commended quite highly." Tracy Lloyd commented on your photo. Tracy wrote "Surely these conditions don't apply to the larger rides Oakwood? If so having notices on your tills when we get there(after along drive) will not be acceptable to us! We are frequent visitors to Alton Towers, and apart from the occasional breakdown, they do not operate in this way!" Oakwood Theme Park commented on your photo.

Rhys wrote "Mark, you're not alone! I went a few weeks back not having been there since before speed was installed, noticed several of the points you made although due to work didn't get round to writing a formal complaint."

This park has gone seriously downhill, it's had to know where to start.. 1) The golf is advertised as free, but after paying £1 deposit per player, when you return they point to a sign which says '£1 deposit 50p returned', yeah, 50p may be a minor amount but it's still decietfull and just a small indication of how this park rips off it's customers 2) The toilets near speed had something wrong with their drains, the smell was bad, walking neer ther area made me feel sick, it became apparent that the park was aware of the problem and unwilling to fix it when I passed later and the place stunk of bleach. 3) The toilets near Megaphobia had no working locks on the cubicles, and also stunk. 4) The staff on the tobogann ride were somewhat obessed with health and safetly and loved to exagurate the dangers. According to the staff, "loads of people" have lost their fingers through not following their advice, and when I laughed at the over the top health and safety instructions given I was advised that I should take it very seriously as the last person to laugh at it had to be 'scraped off the track'. I found that rather bad taste considering the park has previously been prosecuted for causing the death of a guest... 5) Alot of the rides are now on a rotational basis and not open all of the time. 6) The food tasted really bad, which is sad, as their burgers used to be the nicest I've tasted. They were cooked to fast and were burnt on the outside but not properly cooked in the middle, fat dripped out when I bit into it, disgusting!

I visited this park when I was about 11, and it happened to be a couple of weeks after a girl died when she fell out the hydro water ride (as it was closed off).
I don't remember much as it was quite a long time ago, but the park had a serious problem with wasps. They were EVERYWHERE. We took our own picnic, tried to sit down to eat but they were around our food, it was horrible! We didn't eat the whole day just because we couldn't.
This obviously put a downer on our whole day. The rides had such long queues, even the smaller kids rides were long-queued.
Don't get me wrong, when I did finally get on a ride, I enjoyed it, they have lots of decent rides there and plenty of things to do.
I just hope they've sorted their wasp problem, because other than that it's a good day out.

I would recommend Oakwood to a friend but I would warn them of the following . . .
The park is not a patch on the well loved place that the last owners kept! £20 each to get in and £15 for over 3s is very expensive. We only went as we had the Tescos days out vouchers, which Oakwood won't except as of the end of August.
The park looked like it needed a make over! All of the rides looked old and uncared for. The staff were miserable and looked like they didn't want to be there at all!
The toilets were disgusting, Especially the baby changing facility - the changing bed did not feel secure and it all looked very dirty. In the general toilet we told our children NOT to wash their hands as the mess in the sink was foul!
Being local I feel like the downfall of Oakwood is a real shame, I remember the "Buzz" at the After Dark nights and how it was immaculate. If I had to hand over £70 hard cash to take my family and then pay the high prices that they charge for food in the park then no I wouldn't go again! There are lots of lovely places in Pembrokeshire to go and I think that I would hit them instead.
