History

Opened in 1996, Megafobia was the first major attraction to be installed at Oakwood Theme Park (then Oakwood Leisure Park).

The ride was refurbished for the 2023 season by the Gravity Group. Around 40% of the track was replaced and the first drop was made steeper. It reopened in July 2023.
