Megafobia is a wooden roller coaster located at Oakwood Theme Park in Narberth, Pembrokeshire, Wales, UK. It was built by Custom Coasters International, Inc. who wanted a ride to showcase their company in Europe. Megafobia has a twister-style layout.
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.[1] It reopened in July 2023.[2]
