    Oblivion is my favourite coaster at the park and probably my favourite coaster of all time, so I’d be heartbroken if it was removed. They should re-track it just like they did for Nemesis, but if they wanted to add an optional car that lets you ride it backwards it wouldn’t hurt. I still like the aesthetic, but it would definitely be improved by having the “don’t look down” sound effect.

    I was going to say Oblivion is too iconic to remove but then I remembered the fate of the corkscrew. Oblivion is genuinely an icon of the park. The soundtrack, lift hill and brake release at the top of the drop are all iconic in sound alone. I think losing that would be a bad idea. Maybe an extended layout could work, but a re-track seems the most logical.

    I would love if they kept the ride pretty much as it is up until you come out of the tunnel. Instead of going left and back into the station, you keep going into a brand new section of the ride, maybe even with a new world first feature since Oblivion’s claim of a vertical drop wasn’t fully fulfilled. Call it something like Oblivion’s Ascension since you’re ascending out of the tunnel into what is basically a new ride from that point.

    Maybe Project Horizon will utilise the Oblivion hole? Would easily work since where Project H is being built is uphill from where oblivion sits.

  • @MJA3681
    @MJA3681 10 дней назад

    2 great ideas. 1) beyond vertical vecoma tilt ( I think thats a record) 2) a boomerang using the tunnel would be sick

  • @danmcevoy8837
    @danmcevoy8837 12 дней назад +2

    Floorless coaster definitely. Could even convert it to a standing car too.
    Drop to JUST beyond vertical, tunnel stays the same but instead of exiting coming up & out into the brake run, it shoots off into a covered airtime hill, and out and into a couple of hidden inversions, just out the back of the Smiler shop, a couple of small airtime hills and maybe some new theming elements that play into the area… and then build around & hide the brake run from sight… so it looks like Oblivion sends everyone through this hole in the ground, and they’re not seen from the paths as having exited out from the drop?
    Retracking the ride under the tunnel will be tricky, but if maintained & repainted, they should be able to do similar to what they did to Nemesis’ lift hill……

    It'll be there as it is for another 5 years or so. There is very little stress on the track and supports unlike Nemesis. They will be thinking about what they do with it soon, so the video is timed well.

  • @sb6482
    @sb6482 9 дней назад +1

    its a great ride it wouldnt add much by adding a loop or something and the space would cost too much to landscape back into a flat terrain. rebirth it, new theme, relatively little cost. only retrack if it needs it.

    @ashleymason6310 12 дней назад

    Nemesis & Oblivion were what made Alton Towers' heyday! Yes, the corkscrew put them on the map but these two 👌 when Tussauds knew how to run the park. I agree you can't keep retracting all coasters. But I think you can with these two.

  • @markvolpe2305
    @markvolpe2305 12 дней назад

    The world's first B&M dive launched coaster! It'll keep it's original drop through the tunnel and after that an inversion then it could launch you fast enough to launch you through a few more inversions before the ride ends just to extend the layout.

  • @mrmuffin60

  • @iitzfizz
    @iitzfizz 12 дней назад +1

    I too agree that they should not get into the habit of retracking old rides in favour of replacing them with new ones. It works for Nemmy because that is still a great invert to this day and can still compete with modern ones so it is great to have sticking around.
    However Oblivion, being the prototype dive coaster, is a one trick pony and looks very dated compared to new ones which are much longer, actually vertical and have multiple elements (even two drops!)

    It is crazy how long Alton Towers keep their rides for. Surely the Theme Park industry in this country would be in a far better state if we updated the rides more often! Also how did Towers end up with so many Bland coasters?

  • @xsm5525
    @xsm5525 12 дней назад +2

    as much as I love/loved Blivvy, I think they should just ditch it now. it's very much a product of its time.
    I have a lot of nostalgic connection with it, rode it when I was about 13 years old back in 2000 or 2001. however, I wouldn't miss it if it was gone. you need to look into the future.

  • @xpaddy7369
    @xpaddy7369 12 дней назад

    I'd retrack it and retheme it with the smiler. Could even add strobe lighting in the tunnel. And then add a zero g roll when you come out.

  • @gamingandcraftswithlogan8714
    @gamingandcraftswithlogan8714 12 дней назад

    I think a couple of Alton towers rides should have a second station like walking dead at Thorpe park, it would play into the idea of you vanishing into the void. The same applies to wickerman.

  • @koreyhu2
    @koreyhu2 12 дней назад +3

    I actually think you're wrong, I saw a Chinese worker so I think this is a reference to what they're going to do. I believe they're going to dig a hole to China and then make it do a turn to a really long break run.

  • @ryanbrookfield7111
    @ryanbrookfield7111 12 дней назад

    It couldn’t go where oblivion is, most likely on the back car park but we need an RMC in this country and before universal comes to Bedford, Towers has to think about not just retaining guests but attracting more to the park and I think and RMC that is below the tree line but has a lot of elements would be a perfect addition. Doubt we’ll ever get an RMC in this country though 😢

    @mattdavids3357 9 дней назад

    I think it's a beautiful coaster with great branding and to me atleast, it's somehow still relevant. I don't think the tilt-track idea is exciting because it's just not very creative. That's a cheap thrill, like "Oh no, we are relying on the integrity of the brakes to not plunge to our death". Personally I'd like to see a re-track but understand if Alton Towers want something edgey to replace it...And If they do replace it, I just have one wish and that is that it's creative. I've had the p*** taken out of me for saying that before, on forums but that is what I think people like, deep down. Alton Towers did a great job on The Curse Of Alton Manor in that respect. I think something that would capture younger riders imaginations as much as adults would be awesome. So please, anything but an out of the box coaster.
