Oblivion
(88 votes)

The world's first vertical drop rollercoaster, a short but powerful ride delivering a unique experience, one of the highlight's at Alton Towers. At the top of the lift hill you perch on the edge of a huge tunnel deep into the ground, you wait for a few seconds as you hear Don't...Look...Down... and then you plunge into Oblivion at extreme speed! (Minimum Height: 1.4m)

Jag  - Awesome   |May 2009
this ride was awesome and scary with a massive drop i was still screaming after the ride.

Oblivion makes all the other rides lame
Tommy  - OMG!   |May 2009
Oblivion is amazing! It even looks high when you look down into the hole. Shiekra is only 2mph faster than Oblivion so the drops must be very similar! My 2nd favourite ride at Alton Towers, Nemesis in 1st and Air in 3rd
Giles  - Wow.   |April 2009
33rd time and still gets me. The drop is breath taking. Much worth the trek along the queue line.
