It was a shame to see Drenched removed imo one of the better rides at Oakwood, wasn’t it SBNO for a few years prior to dismantling?

While I'm not surprised Drenched is going, it is a shame. That ride is one of the main reasons I discovered this website and became the enthusiast I am today. Only ever managed to ride it once but glad I did.
Unfortunately, like others have already mentioned, can't see it being replaced any time soon...

Oakwood won't bring anything if they open this year.
They have been building a haunted house for 2 years which has seen 0 progress tbh.
Oakwood socials have also been quiet since 24th December - I hope Megaphobia rebuild hasn't killed them off . . . . .

Hopefully it hasn’t tbh it’s got potential to be a great park. Is it still owned by Aspro?

Yep still owned by them. My old fella owns a flat and I avoided the place last year. After the Bounce incident, and Megaphobia opening at 1pm, it was pointless going!

That track on the new logo does look a teeny bit like an SLC - another possible destination for T3? They could probably re-use foundations from Traumatizer. This is just wild speculation obviously, it will probably be yet another Pinfari looper if anything!

I know they don't have a lot of money, but it almost sounds like a chain - Adventure Coast: Southport, Adventure Coast: Skegness etc. Makes me wonder if they've formed some sort of association with other seaside parks. Good name, anyway. A new woodie on the Cyclone site and some sort of Vekoma looper on the Traumatizer site, and they'd be back in business.

Last year there were some plans for a Gerstlauer coaster, probably a Eurofighter or Infinity Coaster, but with the looks of a Zamperla Thunderbolt

Holiday Park is considering a name change to Plopsaland Germany, according to internal staff memos. The new Plopsa management apparently sees the park as a flagship property going forward and so wants to bring it under the same banner as the De Panne park. No final decision has been made yet.

To be honest they are both pretty terrible sounding names in English - one very dull and generic, the other is the sound a poo makes. Hopefully they sound better in the local tongues!Holiday Park is considering a name change to Plopsaland Germany, according to internal staff memos.
