🎢 Ghostly Glimpses of Oakwood 🎢
Once buzzing with the laughter and screams of thrill-seekers, Oakwood Theme Park in Pembrokeshire lies eerily silent today. After nearly four decades of entertaining families, the park closed its doors for good in 2025, citing “unrelenting economic challenges” ranging from rising electricity costs to food price hikes and increased wages.
Oakwood, which opened in 1987 and became Wales’ largest amusement park, attracted visitors from far and wide. Its iconic rollercoaster, Megafobia, was a crowd favourite, providing adrenaline-pumping excitement since 1996. But those days seem distant now, as the site stands deserted, its rides dismantled, and its once-bustling pathways deserted.
Despite numerous attempts to secure its future, the closure was confirmed with much sadness, leaving behind memories of joy and excitement. Nestled amidst stunning Pembrokeshire countryside, the park’s current state is a poignant reminder that even beloved attractions face challenging times. 🌳

Hope still flickers for a new chapter, as the future of the site remains uncertain. But for now, it stands as a shadow of its vibrant past, awaiting whatever comes next in 2026. 📸✨
