Go Back To: .X-Sector.
Ride Type: |  |
Dare you face your greatest fears? Dare you look into Oblivion? Only at Alton Towers can you prove yourself on the world's first vertical drop rollercoaster. Some people scream, some people weep tears of joy... or terror, some people just contemplate their fate, it is even rumoured that some never come back. But remember, whatever you do, DON'T LOOK DOWN!
Oblivion, although a short ride it is one of the best thrill ride sensations available, a sixty metre climb, a turn and then three seconds hanging over the edge of a two hundred foot vertical drop. After being released you are plummeted into the ground, before exiting the hole at the other side of the sector. Once into the brakes its all over and all that's left is your desire for another go.
