In 1996, Oakwood Theme Park gave Pembrokeshire a wooden landmark of its own. Megafobia was the park’s first major attraction, a Custom Coasters International structure that helped turn a country park visit into a proper roller-coaster journey. coasterpedia.net· en.wikipedia.org

The ride climbed to 26 metres and ran to 77 km/h, but it did its work without a single inversion. Its achievement was in timber, speed, and turning track, the sort of engineering that made a summer queue feel like a local occasion. en.wikipedia.org· coasterpedia.net

Late in its life, Megafobia received a substantial renewal. In 2023, The Gravity Group carried out months of retracking, reprofiling, and rebuilding, with work on about forty percent of the coaster and particular attention to the first and second drops. parkworld-online.com

The final chapter came with Oakwood itself. On 4 March 2025, Aspro Parks announced the immediate closure of the Pembrokeshire park, citing financial challenges, rising costs, and declining visitor numbers; Megafobia’s days as a public ride had therefore passed into memory. news.sky.com· theguardian.com
