We hope you are enjoying our videos! 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.

When you watch it, they only hang over the edge for a second but that second feels like a decade when you’re actually on it

First non-family coaster I've been on at Alton towers! It removed my fear of rollercoasters completely!

[spktr]

this ride is my favourite, it’s so short but so exhilarating and amazing

[GmStar]

This is a classic! I remember my first time going on this ride as a teenager back in the early 00s. Many happy memories

The first thing i said was:
"wait, that's it"

[Howlingburd]

I hope people know that this was one of the very first roller coasters of its kind

[PrettyCureFox]

Oblivion is a special coaster for me. It was the first coaster that I rode at Alton Towers and it was the first coaster that I rode since becoming an enthusiast in 2020

Where has the mist gone? It feels a little strange without it and you see into the hole easier.

I think its the best pov
But weird without:
Screaming
Mist
Crowd at bottom

[elizacraig]

the thing that i would probaly find most scary about this is the wait going up

[squidwardshouse]

The view you get from the top makes me think it really came close to breaching the treeline limit. John Wardley's a genius.

I'm actually at alten Tower today bc it's my birthday, and I went on that ride! I literally cried

[borderlineedits]

this is the one ride at alton that truly made me scream „holy shit”, apologies if you were on the same circuit

[ashtonthefirst]

[visionist]

Bring back the smoke Merlin!

Wonder if they'll ever go floorless.

[timothywait]

i love Oblivion but love it more when the mist is in the tunnel

[coasteredits]

Can't beat those views on a nice day!

My favourite ride, we had a couple of 12 hours days during extended Halloween open days, I think we went on at least 30 rides. Maybe about 5 times on this one. Then trying to get to sleep on the night your brain gives you a free ride just lying in bed too, bonus :)

sadly, these videos do no justice . when you drop, the sheer force makes your eyes water . the dark bit at the bottom is freezing cold and so is the mist . in the end, itll have you laughing and thinking ' holy fuck ' while you wipe your eyes and prepare to go see your mess of a photo www

( also, the seats are really comfortable - the bar at the front might make your stomach hurt the tiniest bit for a minute or less ww !! it wont make you feel sick, and the ride is overall very enjoyable - my friend was crying because she was on the front row but we both ended up laughing and saying we enjoyed it )
