Oblivion

Ever had that sinking feeling? The Oblivion rises high up into the sky before plunging down in one long, unforgettable drop. If you're afraid of heights you better not let on...

Oblivion was the world's original vertical drop rollercoaster when it first reared its head a decade ago. The carriage cranks up to a full height of 180ft and then holds you, teetering on the apex, before it throws you down into a cavernous black hole

Feel the pull of over four and a half Gs as the rollercoaster plummets you down into deepest chaos. Can you stomach the driving free-fall? Whatever you do, don't look down!
