Stena Line’s day trip to Oakwood back by popular demand

Summer day trip with travel & entry to Wales’ biggest theme park from only €50pp*

THRILL SEEKERS are in for an action packed treat this summer as Stena Line has announced the return of its popular day trip to Oakwood Theme Park.

Customers can travel with Ireland’s leading ferry company from Rosslare to Fishguard and enjoy an action packed day trip from only €50pp* return by car (based on a car and 4 people) or €59pp by foot**. Oakwood is set in nearly 90 acres of spectacular countryside with more than 30 exhilarating rides and amazing experiences to discover boasting a unique combination of attractions which includes world-class roller, tower and sky coasters, spectacular family rides and children’s themed play areas.

In addition to all the family friendly fun, thrill seekers have lots to look forward to including the ultimate hair-raising experience, with Speed: No Limits not for the faint hearted with 2000 feet of twisting and turning steel roller coaster, Megafobia which has been voted the best ride in the UK and is the ultimate coaster challenge with 900 metres of wooden terror track and Vertigo, the closest thing to flying that most people will ever experience as well as Neverland for younger kids with eight rides and attractions.

In the summer months, visitors will be able to enjoy extended opening hours every Wednesday in July and every Wednesday and Saturday in August with Oakwood After Dark when the theme park stays open until 10pm with illuminated rides, entertainment and fireworks, a truly unique entertainment experience.

If that wasn’t enough excitement, the Wild West Dive Show also operates every day in August. Described as ‘aerial theatre’, the show is a mixture of comedy, music, acrobatics and high diving. The divers plunge into the eight-metre-wide pool both singly and in groups from a variety of heights culminating in dives from the top of the 25-metre platform.

Diane Poole OBE Stena Line’s Head of PR & Communications said: “Summer day trips to Oakwood Theme Park remain one of our most popular trips. Every year we carry thousands of thrill seekers across the Irish Sea for a day of action packed fun for people of all ages ensuring a great time for the whole family. This unique day trip offers fantastic value for money with ferry travel and entry available from only €50pp* so book yourself a whole lot of fun this summer.”
