Oblivion [4K] 2022 Front Seat POV - Alton Towers Resort

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.

Queue up for an hour for 30 secs worth of shite 🤦🏼‍♂️

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!!!❤

Wow this is really small compared to Sheikra at Busch gardens Tampa-

It’s the rise after the fall which makes ur stomach flip

Ngl I’m a person who don’t like coasters but this looks so fun and it finishes in a second

I like the Vertical drop its very smooth.

Smiler dog oblivion cat

It’s insane at night

It’s literally one drop wtf was the point of that

Went on this yesterday and I don’t understand how people enjoy this. Bro I almost died on it 💀💀

i am a qualified pilot and have aerobatic time and have subjected
myself to g far higher than these rides both negative and positive
...you lot have no idea............lol.All i can say is that this ride is awesome i personally love it.

I’m in the car on the way to Alton Towers and I am terrified of this ride but kinda excited

wow ngl this ride is so overrated literally any other dive coaster in the world is better than this, i know its the first dive coaster but man its literally a drop and then ur into the brakes like no inversions or anytinhg

I’m not even watching and my heart beats

I’m 24 and a complete noob with coasters. I last went on a ride when I was 14 and it was the waltzer teacup so I had no experience with proper rides. My friend forced me to Alton towers to get over my fear of big drop and fast rides. This was the first ride I went on and I was terrified. I felt sick to my stomach when at the top of the climb but it was incredible when it drops. Then went on Rita, 13 and wicker man. So all in all terrifying rides for someone like me but proud I went on them and will deffo be going back.

God, this was scary

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!!

Don’t got nothing on the Griffon at bush gardens

that's the entire ride?? lolercaust.

i love the noise it makes when it drops. i went on it once last week when i went to alton towers and it was great

2 hours of queing just for that.

I honestly forgot how short this ride is

I didn’t like this

That is super duper scary people screamed.

Oblivion is the most fastes ride in Alton towers because it goes 110 mph underground!

I’ve always wanted to go to Alton towers

Me and my friend are going here next week!

We visited Alton Towers for my 8 year old boy's birthday last month. We watched IN AWE the hole into which it plummets and it was LOUD. Is that a special sound effect, or is it just the actual sound? Sounds so metallic!

calm until waaaa drop

I love this ride but it’s so damn short

I went on it. IT WAS SO lame. I know nobody asked well I said it anyways

I rly wanna go on this ngl

Would this be for me?
I’m 9, I’m scared of dark and scary rollercoasters like thi3teen cause of drop in dark at end and the smiler

Amazing!

why does it look so calm

That B&M sound tho. Love it

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.

This is my favourite ride at Alton Towers, and I haven't even been to the UK. It's like how X:/ No Way Out is/was my favourite Thorpe ride (because of my love of computer horror.) I've been on Valravn, though. The titular character of that ride is SO hot...

I wish I could go back to the first time I rode this.

That's it??? Come on man....

Has Alton inquired to B&M to get new floorless dive trains?

Here's this fact for this ride (as I heard from an article), in April 2011, Coca-Cola Company did sponsored with this ride for the Fanta drink but it had criticism for having a friendly ad on the terrifying ride, there's also a Facebook protest account against it. The advertisement was then removed from the ride afterwards from backlash by Coca-Cola themselves (or Alton Towers).

Weeeee

Not as scary as octonauts

I just went it on it today, the drop is unreal, especially the pause, right before you fall😭👍👍
