[edit] Overview
Megafobia is a CCI wooden roller coaster located at Oakwood, Pembrokeshire, Wales, United Kingdom. It was built in 1996 at a fraction of the cost as CCI wanted a ride to showcase their company in Europe. Megafobia features a twister style layout. It is often ranked in the top 10 wooden roller coasters in the world.
Megafobia was the first white-knuckle attraction to be installed at the Oakwood Theme Park (then Oakwood Leisure Park) in West Wales and transformed the park's fortunes from a small family leisure park to a major UK theme park.
One unusual feature of Megafobia is that the ride has sheep living under it.[1] [2]
