Thanks for watching! We noticed that many comments are posted criticising the length of Oblivion. It's prudent to mention that the ride was the prototype B&M Dive Coaster and was revolutionary at the time of opening in 1998. A vertical / near vertical drop had never been done before, let alone a 180ft drop which 90ft of it is underground. The ride formed a solid basis to be improved upon as we see today with attractions like Sheikra, Valravn and Emperor, much like Air / Galactica did with newer B&M Flying Coasters.

I love oblivion so much. The drop is incredible, your first time is quite terrifying, but after that it’s genuinely pure fun. I got five rides on it yesterday, in the afternoon there were no queues, it was just walk on. My fav coaster

In person, hearing the noise as it dives into the cave is so loud

[kassie]

I went on this ride today! It was insanse and it feels like a gravity shift when you drop straight down

I used to be scared of this ride, but I went to Alton Towers with the sole purpose of conquering my fear and I did twice! Loved it!!!❤

I like the themeing of Oblivion but i wish they expanded the track cuz it felt like the shorest duration of the ride after the drop

[TKbeatwerk]

Binging povs of coasters cause ur going to the park tomorrow >>>

[Carrot_man]

It seems so scary but when u actually get on it you realise how calm it is

[fwutig]

Great see updated Alton Towers pov’s coming out, can’t wait to see the rest!

[popfan]

I went on it earlier today. That drop part is what scares me a bit. Just watching this makes it like I'm actually there.

Great ride! View from the top is amazing, then the wait & drop is what it's about. The free fall is so much fun.
It is a short ride but that means high passenger per hour so wait times are small.

[azurepancakes]

awesome pov as per usual :-) we’re hopefully visiting tomorrow and my sister and i are watching all your povs since they’re our favourites. she’s trying out the coasters for the first time ever!! so excited :-D

[micky]

Still one of the best feelings going down that drop.went on it for the first time in 20 years and was smiling going down with my 9 year old boy!!

[raychieeliz]

This used to be my scariest ride I've ever been on until recently when I traveled to America and rode 'Kingda Ka' 'Velocicoaster', 'The Hulk' and the speed of the 'Rock and Rollercoaster ' !

I chickened out of going on this when I went to Alton Towers and it's probably more scary standing next to it looking up than actually being on the ride lol

Love the quality of your videos, but may I please ask where the smoothing of the footage is coming from? Was it added after or is it built into the camera? Just my opinion here, but I feel it sort of fakes the POV aspect that I feel a point of view video should have. I've noticed it on a lot of POV videos over the last year or so (so I know it's not exclusively with your videos). I just feel like a POV video should be true to the transitions and flow of the physical track than overly doing it with hardware or software. This is just a comment, not an attack or hate on you at all. Purely constructive criticism. Thankyou!

If You Think Obvilion's Drop Is Not So Big Just Go Look At G5 Bcz G5 Is A Copy Of Obvilion But Half Of Obvilion Is Underground

[flap.decoy...]

Doesnt look much on video but when your on it...i start shaking🤣 love this ride so much!

[goofyboi]

I was horrified in the queue, yet I went on. The drop was less mortifying than expected. I’d totally recommend riding it ONCE, I think you can only get that feeling of horror and adrenaline once.

[katharinefreeman]

I still can’t find an oblivion pov when it used to say “don’t look down” I remember when I went on years and years ago it used to hang over the edge for longer as it whispered those words ! Terrifying 🤣
