You may, or may not know the story of how Oakwood got Megaphobia from Custom Coasters International (CCI) at a reduced rate as the company was keen to build it's first ride in Europe as a showcase to other European parks. This was a savvy marketing move as it resulted in them getting a number of projects such as Stampidia and Tomahawk at PortAventura  and of course this.

I should say that there are a lot of fans of CCI's work out there, who would rank some of there best work in their top 10 lists. I mention this because I'm not as big a fan of them as a lot of people are. Don't get me wrong, I don't think they're bad rides in any way. I just think they lack the edge needed to be a truly world class ride.

This particular coaster stands up as a nice example of a wooden roller coaster. It starts with a good view of the area around the ride from the top of the hill lift, before dropping down in to a complex coaster course, that provides both a good thrilling ride, and one of the highlights of Parc Asterix.
