  • - Take a behind the scenes look at one of Alton Towers Resort most iconic rides - Oblivion! I explore the operators cabin including pressing announcements, play around with the dispatch buttons AND climb to the very top of the lift hill, 180ft high! Not only is it that tallest ride in the resort but also the fastest topping Rita by 6.9mph! This VIP event lasted around 2 hours and couldn't have been better! The climb provided spectacular views across the resort including The Smiler, X-Sector, The Towers and the flag tower! The operator's cabin includes an old old old version of Windows, alongside wind monitors, CCTV Of the ride amongst more! The Staff couldn't have been better and a huge shout out to Nathan who really made the event!
    After the experiance the park sends over Photos from their own Go Pro along with a virtual certificate, although you can just take your own photos on your own phone proovided it fits in the pouch provided on the Oblivion harness! Oblivion sits opposite the Smiler infront of Rita and Thirteen. Built in 1998 as B&M's first ever "vertical" dive roller coaster. This model would become extremely popular, and one of B&M's best selling model. The relationship between B&M and Alton Towers Resort would continue with Galactica and Nemesis Reborn in 2024!

      You probably got told, but the dispatch buttons are on the side to stop you being able to press both dispatch buttons using one hand. Therefore you have to use both hands to dispatch and in theory, that means you have given the ride your full attention and are not doing anything else.

    I watched theme park world wides video on the VIP track walk, and he mentioned they didn’t allow recording. Has this changed now? Loved the video thank you so much for taking us along for the ride!

    Great video! I’d be pressing all the announcement buttons as I love audio equipment. Do they have an Audio Rack in the op cabin or is it all controlled from elsewhere? (Amps for speakers etc)

    That’s so great you can do things like that! Do you know if the dive motor that runs the dive chain is hydraulic or electric on Oblivion? Thanks for sharing.

      @ThemeParkEnthusiast  Před 13 dny +1

      It was such a cool event! Funny you comment now just as Im watching your six flags rapids breakdown video! To be honest I’m not sure about the dive motor we never got told 🙃 It was extremely cool to be up close and personal with the chain, and wow is B&M’s track thick!

      I believe its electric, although I might be wrong. When I worked there years ago, I always assumed it was electric.
