Hayley died on April 15th 2004. It was due to neglagence by the park. The owner Mr. Mcnamara failed to train his staff properly, as a result she lost her life at 16. Being there on the day and seeing her die has ruined my life and everyones who was involved. If you guys go on rides (which I'm sure many of you do) I urge you to check your restraints, we can't rely on the staff. RIP Hayley, you were talented, beautiful, and much more. I wish I could have done more to help you... I'm sorry x
why are you thumbing this down I went on it when I was about 10 about 2 months before she fell out and I said to my brother that I could get out of the restraints easily, so don't think she's bullshitting when I could have fucking died from the lack of shoulder restraints on this ride.
they make sure everyone is strapped in propely and now they have over the shoulders straps, be4 it was a little lap bar, its so sad what happened... :'(
i went on this like a couple of weeks before that girl died. And there was only like a little seeat belt to hold you in. I had to be held in cuz' its like veritcal. Ace ride though! x
yeah beat this everyone i live like 5 miles away from oakwood and i can ride my push bike up to oakwood and go in for free because ive got a all year pass!
Yeah. The ride has much more seat belts etc now. U go in and have to listen to like a sound recorded thing about safety. Then u all sit down and do your belt your not allowed to pull the bar down yourself about 4 staff comes and pulls it down for you and checks your belt b4 it goes.
omg i went last yr wif my school it was amazing too bad i had to go on the bus and hydro was the last ride i went on so i was soking!!! im going there again like in 4 weeks again with my high school
I got a caravan in tenby and you can see speed from my caravan site lol...im going there today and going to oakwood on saturday and sunday lol...Deffanatly Going on Hydro and speed lol
On the subject of the video: Bicko, you really need to put some more effort into creating a way to keep the camera dry, that shot from the bridge looks rubbish, you could have atleast wiped it down before you started filming.
I had the camera under a poncho, there was no way I was risking it getting drenched and broken. The shot from the bridge looks quite effective tbh, it shows the extent of the wetness and tbh, I havent seen many do a better shot from that position, without ruining there camera.
It would have been effective if you had wiped the water off before filming.
What camera is it? You could probably use something like a clear sandwich bag if its small, but if its quite a large camera, you could use a filter to protect the lens, then use alot of thick plastic and tape like I did for my Hydro POV
Its a JVC, I did the video in July 06, havent been Oakwood since. If I'd of known there was water on the poncho over the camera, I would of wiped it off. It doesnt look that bad tbh.
it looks vertical i know a water ride cant be vertical
