I agree with you, I'm struggling to follow the overall theme to the area... and I'm not even sure if there is one, but however, seeing that for years Oakwood has been deprived from any form of investment, it's just refreshing to see such an effort.
I would imagine the Log Flume will become a new favourite ride for many children. I do hope that Oakwood continue with this kind of effort every year from now on. *Fingers Crossed*

Ok I take it back, this is starting to look much better now.
Hope Oakwood continue to lay on the theming

Well it's definitely a ' Neverland ' theme Oakwood have gone for. Was confirmed by ITV News today.
Not much to see, but just snapshots of the report. (Apologies for the quality)
As you can see, Plane Crazy has been relocated and has now been painted green, with a Fairy placed on top.
What seems to be the control room for ''Plane Crazy'' turned Fairy Ride.
View from a different angle, once its complete i think the area could look really great! I just hope this heads Oakwood into a new era of development!
The entrance to one of the new attractions with Park Director Dominic Jones.
And a quote from UK Park News :
''Among the new rides are ‘Skull Rock’ pirate log flume, complete with 12-metre-tall sculpted skull, the ‘Lost Boys Adventure’, ‘Neverland Chase’, ‘Tink’s Flying School’, ‘Crocodile Coaster’, ‘Jolly Roger’ mini galleon. ‘Hook’s House of Havoc’ soft play and the ‘Sights of London’ taxi ride featuring Big Ben, the Tower of London and Nelson’s Column. There is also ‘Journey to Neverland’ an interactive walkthrough area which takes visitors in to the Darling family home and above the streets of London before arriving in ‘Neverland’ itself. Other areas are themed as London parks and there is also a kids’ ‘Aerodrome’ ride as well as food and retail outlets.''

Wow, this is actually much better for the park than getting a 'large' ride. Sure, for us enthusiasts another bigger ride might have been better, but for the park, bringing in families who will spend so much more is a bigger investment. Hopefully if they get the marketing right then Oakwood might soon see their footfall increase and a bigger return to profit! I just hope they keep on developing areas and theming the entire park to this standard! A massive well done is in order for them!
