@@EddieDoesBrass I've actually never been I'm not sure if I'm qualified but I can say what id LIKE to see ahaha

[@kermits_loopscx]

i feel like if oblivion was a bit longer people would love it more but honestly it’s one of my fav coasters regardless

[@Q4Coasters]

I would also like it to be longer but I am glad there aren't any inversions haha. I don't mine it being shorter thought because then it never has the chance to slow down :D!

THE MOST FUNNIEST UNDERRATED BRITISH YOU TUBER
I also love coasters so much that it could be my life and know a lot of coasters around the world mostly in Europe and North America
But seriously overall, BEST UNDERRATED UA-camR

[@Q4Coasters]

Im so glad you didn’t take it so personally LMAOO you are a good sport!
Yes so true i’d love to try American coasters and visit the coaster capital of Florida!
You are too kind thank you so much hahaha :3

[@user-sb5vc9nq1e]

Love your mew style and approach to your commentiating to many youtube vloggers are doing the same thing. For the curiosity of what you may do next il subscribe.

[@Q4Coasters]

THANK YOU! that's so kind, I thought I would take inspiration from coaster shark, digital dan and expedition theme park. Everyone's doing vlogs these days but no one wants to see the same thing 1000 times haha! I appreciate your kind words

[@avessstella]

[@Q4Coasters]

You are way too kind and are expecting too much HAHAHAHA. But I appreciate you so much for saying this!

[@FakeFantum]

The pee joke at the start made me audibly guffaw. Very good 😭

[@Q4Coasters]

haha I'm glad I could make you laugh :D

[@GarryWilliams555]

I love it. That drop is still the most forceful I have experienced, including other dive coasters.

[@Q4Coasters]

It truly is amazing. Short but sweet for sure! it is the most intense drop at the park by a long way

[@thatBrickishkid]

really good vid i love oblivion and the lord of darkness sells it for me

[@CoasterChroniclesUK]

You're a great youtuber! The only bad thing about oblivion is i took a hearing test before i went to alton towers and after i needed hearing aids beacuse of oblivions lift (edit did you know rita pulls 4.9g's)

[@Q4Coasters]

@@CoasterChroniclesUK LMAO oh dear me I think it depends on which train but that coasters getting old unfortunately :(
Yes i did know, i believe stealths is even higher which is NUTS

[@Saismee]

definitely my least favourite out of all the ones i went on, but it definitely has its place. its just so great seeing the trains plunge into the darkness with the big whoosh of smoke.
(also its pronounced "bolliger (hard g) and mab-i-yard but you arent the only one struggling)

[@Q4Coasters]

@@Saismee ITS MAB-I-YARD?? WHAT ABOUT THE LL’S OH NO I’m sorry for butchering it. I will probably continue to say it wrong but i’ll try my best haha, I love oblivion! I know its short but its still a great drop one of the best in the UK for sure

[@SousaphoneMusic]

i'd rather like it for what it is than hate it for what it's not

[@Q4Coasters]

of course, I wish more people did the same but thoosies are a bit harsh sometimes :(

[@brutalhellhamerer]

Oblivion isn’t much, but it’s influence cannot be denied. Also the soundtrack is bangin’

[@Q4Coasters]

W opinion I agree with you for sure! I like that its short and it definitely set the standard for future dive coasters, it still is one of the best drops out there I think even if its outdated. Its also glass smooth!

[@1StealthMaker]

Totally agree with all points in this vid! Oblivion walked, so that the likes of Sheikra, Valkyria and Yukon Striker could run. Imo, a dive coaster has 1 job and thats to dive vertically. Blivvy does that to perfection 👌🏿

[@Q4Coasters]

totally with you on that! oblivion is a one drop wonder but not in a bad way at all, it keeps its momentum the whole way through until the break run and going through a dark tunnel is just bad ass. It's also nice and cool on a summers day!

[@NorthernLab5]

As someone who remembers the launch and advertising campaign behind Oblivion, let me reiterate - it was EVERYWHERE. Merchandise, TV adverts, on bus shelters, cereal boxes...
It's a world first, is still a very intense ride, and I think Rita is a much bigger lost opportunity than Oblivion. Oblivion knows what it is and does it well.

[@Q4Coasters]

I agree with you, Rita wasn't even a secret weapon codename, While its launch is still great its just a shame it doesn't do more if you know what I mean but it's not as bad as everyone says it is at all. But the marketing just makes me laugh for oblivion ahahah! :D

[@davidnevolo4402]

I honestly think its cooler than the other dives. I think dives are lame. Everyone seems to think their park needs one, but whenever one gets built, people call them boring, bad pacing, they rattled, etc. Oblivion is cool because it drops you underground. It feels like youre plunging to hell. If you're claustrophobic, the fear of darkness outweighs the fear of heights/drop etc. Very cool. 🎉

[@Q4Coasters]

I would love to try other dives! but I would agree with you on oblivion, its smooth as ice and does exactly what its supposed to and doesn't mess around. It definitely set the bar high as the prototype! :D

[@davidnevolo4402]

@Q4Coasters for sure! I know the american dive coasters are larger and people seem to love them, but my thought whenever the model came to the US was, this was so much cooler at alton towers because it went underground. I think the tunnel novelty is more compelling than the vertical drop. I rods emporer at sea world san diego and while its a good paced ride without a midcourse/second and inferior drop (why is that a thing? U already did the more epic drop.) It just feels like any other b and m looper, and i prefer the floorless models with swooping drops and long layouts. Emporer is the most intense ride in the park but mako, their family mack rides launched coaster, is vastly superior in terms of fun delivery.

[@SuperninjaGD]

I've never been to alton towers, but oblivions Soundtrack is fire!

[@Q4Coasters]

aghh you have to go haha! most of the soundtracks at alton towers go hard :D

[@SuperninjaGD]

@@Q4Coasters true!

[@danielward4868]

Oblivion is my second favourite ride in the park. I don't mind a coaster that is short if it packs a punch

[@Q4Coasters]

Me too! a lot of people have it as their second favourite, what's your favourite I'd love to know, mine is nemesis reborn. Its basic but so good!

[@Q4Coasters]

AS IN A BASIC CHOICE NOT BASIC RIDE

[@danielward4868]

@Q4Coasters my favourite ride is Nemesis too. I haven't been on it in 2 years but hope to ride next month.

[@Q4Coasters]

@@danielward4868 I never managed to ride the og but from what people have said its running more intense than it was before :3

[@I_am_Addicted_2_RollerCoasters]

Only been to Alton Towers Once 😥

[@Q4Coasters]

me too going again soon :D!

[@I_am_Addicted_2_RollerCoasters]

I Like Oblivion, but its too short, Its worth it for that Drop though

[@Q4Coasters]

Yeah of course! everyone is entitled to their own opinion. I like that its short I think it cry if it went on for longer than it did BUT THATS JUST ME ahaha

[@Davidsteel702]

It’s short because it’s a prototype

“It’s the scariest ride there”
The smiler: 💀💀💀

[@Q4Coasters]

I wouldn't say the smiler is intense by any means its just very dizzy. Its nice to look at off ride but I'm not really a fan of it but that's my opinion. But factually it is the most intense ride and has the fastest speed. But the smilers theme is creepy you are 100% right haha!

[@Q4Coasters]

when i said "it is the most intense ride" I meant oblivion in my comment sorry for not making that clear!! :3

[@thatBrickishkid]

but come on orctinauts is the ride you go to first

[@Q4Coasters]

its always first on my list for SURE. Did you really go to Alton Towers if you didn't go??

[@thatBrickishkid]

@@Q4Coasters i went when i was 12

[@SsufferinSsuccotash]

A few years after the closure of the black hole and before the smiler was announced, I had hoped that Towers would extend Oblivion into that plot either adding a half helix to the left bank pr replacing it with a right one to get track heading towards that area before going into one or two new elements and heading to the break run.
But since the smiler? I kinda think leaving as the landmark it is could be the better option.

[@Q4Coasters]

honestly same but I can't see X Sector without the smiler now! while it might not be my favourite I doubt they would ever remove their record breaker. I think Oblivion as it stands is an AMAZING prototype coaster! :3
