Oakwood Theme Park Announces Permanent Closure for 2025 Season
Aspro Parks owns Oakwood Theme Park. They did a business review and they explored all options to avoid closure. They cited challenges in the current economy, which led to the closure. They understand the impact on the area.
Aspro Parks invested a lot since 2008, rescuing Oakwood from potential closure then. They also recently updated Megafobia, a well-known wooden rollercoaster. Despite this, visitors declined over time, impacting the park’s finances.
Economic challenges are part of the problem. Costs have increased across all areas, including ride parts, electricity, and food prices. National insurance changes also played a part. Aspro Parks Group released a statement too.
They said closing Oakwood is a first for them and they tried to overcome many obstacles. They want to keep bringing joy to families, but a sustainable path forward isn’t visible now. They want to improve their other parks now.
Oakwood held a special place for many, and they know it’s a rite of passage. They are very saddened by all of this. Aspro Parks thanked the Oakwood team, present and past team members, suppliers, and loyal visitors. They appreciate everyone who made it special.
