Has anybody ridden the Oblivan at Alton Towers?

WOW what a rush. If you don't know what it is it's a vertical drop rollercoaster. It drops vertically through a hole in the ground.

I thought it was absolutley awsome

I hate the bloody things, my missus got me on it, f**k knows why I went on but I filled me pants, whilst I was still in shock she dragged me around for another go, me fooking lungs nearly came out. Never ever again. Perfectly good undies destroyed.

  to both of you.  It normaly takes a lot to get me flustered, that did. You can't help it. I got my mate on it, it's his first and only rollercoaster ride

I did go on nemesis


sat down

stood up and got off again

then it set off 

[Andy J]

it's brilliant, probably my favourite ride there  

Phil, I always said you were a big girl  

[Andy J]

Rita is great too, a big rush of acceleration just like Phil's 'Booosa 

Air was a bit crap really just hanging there


We went a few months back and managed to get on arounbd 15 or 20 rides and got in as guests so before the masses courtesy of my lovely bro

I did go on air and I cried, yes I'm a wuss. I think its how much the rails move that puts me off, I know they have to but they still scare me

[Phil]

Loved all the others although I did think Rita was a bit dull. I cant remember what they quote the 0-60mph as but the busa even on a bad day covers that in 1.8 seconds.
