WORLD CLASS DESIGNERS HELP OAKWOOD
CREATE NEW FANTASY RIDES
Oakwood Theme Park is enlisting the help of one of the world’s leading theming
companies to create their new £4-million family-themed attraction which opens later
this year.
The Pembrokeshire park is working with UK-based KD Theming Technologies to
help build a series of magical new ride experiences which include a pirate-theme log
flume water ride, complete with a gigantic 12-metre-tall sculpted skull.
The Huddersfield firm’s previous work includes the theming for the Legoland Hotel in
Windsor, the Legoland Discovery Centre in Manchester and the SpongeBob
Squarepants ride at Blackpool Pleasure Beach.
Oakwood Theme Park Director, Dominic Jones, said: “We’re delighted that
KD Theming Technologies agreed to help us create our magical new attraction.
“They’re reputation and attention to detail is second to none and, having had the
opportunity to get a sneak preview of what they have created, I can’t wait for it to be
unveiled to our visitors,” he added.
The exact details of the new attraction is being kept secret, however it will include a
London street scene; complete with black cab rides, Nelson's Column, Big Ben and
the Tower of London, along with a series of magical experiences and walkthrough
areas and the pirate flume ride.
KD Theming Technologies are world leaders in the design, manufacture and
installation of theme park ride decoration, seasonal displays, animation, animatronics
and theming.
For over 30 years they have been working with theme parks to provide wonderful,
interactive and magical decorations bringing ideas and dreams to life.
Matthew Kitchen-Dunn, Sales and Production Director, said: “It has been a pleasure
working with and designing for the team from Oakwood Theme Park and we wish
them every success for their opening and for the coming year.”
Set in nearly 90 acres of spectacular countryside Oakwood is Wales’ biggest family
adventure with more than 30 exhilarating rides and amazing experiences to discover.
A unique combination of attractions includes world-class roller, tower and sky
coasters, spectacular family rides, children’s themed play areas and so much more.
