Oblivion

The legendary Oblivion was the world's first vertical drop roller coaster when it opened back in 1998. This brilliant and extreme roller coaster ride is a heart-stopping plummet to the centre of the Earth.

Live the torture of hanging on the edge of Oblivion - the ride pauses for a horrifying moment above the infinite darkness before free falling vertically 200ft downwards at a force of 4.5G's.

Take a look at the video clip....Oblivion

This is one of the rides that made Alton Towers famous - Oblivion tests visitors to their breaking point and will always be a beast of a ride.

Oblivion can be found in the X-Sector at Alton Towers, and has a minimum height restriction of 1.4m.
