Some interesting photos taken from inside Brer Rabbit after it was left to rot when it closed.
The Tracked Dark Ride,originally built by UK manufacturer Severn Lamb, is still standing but has not operated since 2014
Note: I don't condone trespassing but the photos are interesting and give a rare look at what you normally don't get to see. Source

Oh wow... That's creepy... Part of me hopes that some of these big UE groups, the ones that take all the coloured lighting etc, get in there before they destroy it. It's creepy now, imagine when the photos have been staged with some atmosphere.

Wow, that is absolute nightmare fuel!

It’s quite hard to believe that I rode that on my first ever visit to Oakwood in 2010…

Wow – I never knew the Brer Rabbit ride was still standing!

I rode it in 2004 and remember a catchy song playing throughout... I can still hear the tune in my head. But after watching some POVs, I can't find any with the music I remember. Am I going mad?

It did had a sorta preshow just as you were leaving the station. There was a soundtrack in the ride that played within certain scenes. However, later in it's life these seemed to stop working and weren't fixed. Remember the bunny pulling on the electrical box making it spark as well (may be misremembering but may have been another effect that broke and wasn't fixed).
