You can buy a section of Wales' most iconic wooden rollercoaster

You can own a section of the original track of Wales' most iconic wooden rollercoaster complete with nails, bolts and saw marks. Oakwood Theme Park in Pembrokeshire is currently giving Megafobia a $2million overhaul ahead of the 2023 season and is replacing parts of the track and making the first drop even steeper. The work - being carried out by American rollercoaster design and construction company The Gravity Group - has so far involved the complete removal of the main drop track, walk boards and ledgers (these are the big timbers that the track sits on).

Some of the support columns have also been removed and will be replaced for new, albeit at different sizes and heights to allow for the reprofiled and steeper drop, Oakwood said.
