The Oasis

[Anteater]

I got a 'lifetime' ban from the Oasis for climbing on the dome. True story, Bro.

Bit of a stupid thing to do in hindsight, but it seemed a good idea at the time.

fucking yonks ago. We were just kids at the time, it was just a member of staff probably just trying to scare us off. Nothing official, hence I put it in quotes.

Two adults and one child = 3 people

Jesus what a dive. The changing facilities 8/10 the rest is just a patched up shithole. No dome busters. Mind you there was none went I last went back Feb time. Won't likely to be until Xmas if we're lucky. So two adults one child £16.30 for an hour just wading around jumping the waves. The old tri of slides were open as was the newer blue slide but the place will be off my visitor list until vast improvements have been made.

Guess what, Red and Proud?  I agree with you on this one! Was similarly stung there myself not long back.

All facilities like this have a shelf life.  Like some others on here, I'm old enough to remember when the Oasis was shiny & new, and people would travel for well over an hour to go there.  But you'd now need to be nearly 40 to remember that.

I hope they don't try to keep it running too long.  The Oasis was innovative when it opened.  Hope it gets replaced by something similarly innovative before long.  The ski slope plans look interesting.  If they manage to link that better with the town centre this time - and bridge effectively the railway line that slices through Swindon - you could be on to a winner.

Took the kid there last week. You can see changes are being made, albeit slow. The changing rooms although refurbished, stank of piss.
