Is Drenched Leaving Oakwood Theme Park?
Is Drenched leaving Oakwood Theme Park in South Wales? The park’s Intamin Mega Splash water ride which first opened at the park back in 2002 looks as though it could be about to leave the park for good.
News of the record breaking water ride’s rumoured departure from the park broke online this evening (Weds 05th Feb 2025) when an image showing the ride currently being dismantled surfaced on popular theme park enthusiast forum towerstimes.com.
The photo shared by forum user LPW appears to show Drenched surrounded by 3 large cranes and sections of the ride missing including the iconic 85 degree drop and turn around section at the top of the lift.
Although Oakwood theme park in Pembrookshire have still yet to comment officially on the news it looks highly possible we could infact see this beloved water ride leave the park for good in the months ahead.
Drenched has been SBNO (standing but not operating) for at least the past two years with no news as to what the future may hold for the ride being shared by the park themselves officially at any point.

Drenched first opened at Oakwood under the name Hydro in 2002, however after a tragic accident in which a 16 year old girl was killed and another seriously injured the ride closed to the public and reopened under it’s current name in 2005.
Following this Oakwood theme park’s much loved extreme water ride has also undergone several other changes and updates over the years but hasn’t operated or opened to the public for at least the past two years.
News of Drenched removal hasn’t yet been officially confirmed or denied by Oakwood theme park, but today’s image seems to suggest there is a very strong chance it could be leaving.
Discussing the news online there have however been those who have stated the ride is infact undergoing major work and will reopen again at a later date with improvements and changes being made to make the ride safer and more sustainable for future generations to enjoy.
