The legendary Oblivion is a heart-stopping plummet into a black hole.

This thrilling ride was the world’s very first vertical drop roller coaster when it opened in 1998, and it continues to wow guests to the Alton Towers Resort to this day.

Oblivion’s incredible plunge is likely to make your jaw drop upon first seeing the ride. Once on board, you'll be taken up the lift hill, and hung over the edge, before you drop over 180 feet at a force of over 4.5 Gs.

This is one of the rides that made the Alton Towers Resort famous - Oblivion tests visitors to their breaking point. Regular visitors to Alton Towers still say that this ride is scarier than any other at the famous theme park.
