Oblivion is my favourite coaster at the park and probably my favourite coaster of all time, so I’d be heartbroken if it was removed. They should re-track it just like they did for Nemesis, but if they wanted to add an optional car that lets you ride it backwards it wouldn’t hurt. I still like the aesthetic, but it would definitely be improved by having the “don’t look down” sound effect.
I was going to say Oblivion is too iconic to remove but then I remembered the fate of the corkscrew. Oblivion is genuinely an icon of the park. The soundtrack, lift hill and brake release at the top of the drop are all iconic in sound alone. I think losing that would be a bad idea. Maybe an extended layout could work, but a re-track seems the most logical.
Oblivion is one of my favourites but recently I have had bad luck with getting on it. It breaks down a lot now and have only been on it twice this decade. Hope it stays tho
Floorless coaster definitely. Could even convert it to a standing car too. Drop to JUST beyond vertical, tunnel stays the same but instead of exiting coming up & out into the brake run, it shoots off into a covered airtime hill, and out and into a couple of hidden inversions, just out the back of the Smiler shop, a couple of small airtime hills and maybe some new theming elements that play into the area… and then build around & hide the brake run from sight… so it looks like Oblivion sends everyone through this hole in the ground, and they’re not seen from the paths as having exited out from the drop? Retracking the ride under the tunnel will be tricky, but if maintained & repainted, they should be able to do similar to what they did to Nemesis’ lift hill……
It'll be there as it is for another 5 years or so. There is very little stress on the track and supports unlike Nemesis. They will be thinking about what they do with it soon, so the video is timed well.
I too agree that they should not get into the habit of retracking old rides in favour of replacing them with new ones. It works for Nemmy because that is still a great invert to this day and can still compete with modern ones so it is great to have sticking around. However Oblivion, being the prototype dive coaster, is a one trick pony and looks very dated compared to new ones which are much longer, actually vertical and have multiple elements (even two drops!)
Oblivion is still the best dive coaster in my opinion, the dive coaster is meant for the drop and drop only. All the six flags ones pale in comparison to Oblivion's drop.
I actually think you're wrong, I saw a Chinese worker so I think this is a reference to what they're going to do. I believe they're going to dig a hole to China and then make it do a turn to a really long break run.
Nemesis & Oblivion were what made Alton Towers' heyday! Yes, the corkscrew put them on the map but these two 👌 when Tussauds knew how to run the park. I agree you can't keep retracting all coasters. But I think you can with these two.
as much as I love/loved Blivvy, I think they should just ditch it now. it's very much a product of its time. I have a lot of nostalgic connection with it, rode it when I was about 13 years old back in 2000 or 2001. however, I wouldn't miss it if it was gone. you need to look into the future.
I wouldn't mind a retheming based around the Smiler (The story could be the Ministry of Joy dump people who fail to be marmalised into Oblivion (It works as we obviously aren't marmalised on The Smiler)
How? They have made 3 (or 4 depending on the way you look at it) coasters for towers, all survived well. Rita is looking worse for wear, so possibly no more intamin?
I would turn oblivion into a dark ride round the final bend and break run.. something like Chiapas, disco themed.. would be cool and not sitting in the rain waiting to get off..
i think whatever they get ride of next especially oblivion or galactica a retrack and retheme would be boring people cant keep living of nostalgia we need new thrilling rides instead

is it just me or is its soundtrack amazing
Oblivion may be short but holy moly dose that drop have something special
0:09 I miss enterprise man 🇬🇧

I cannot believe you are so close to 100k! That’s insane! I guarantee you’ll hit it by the end of the year! 🥳🥳
I think that the drop on oblivion is like you eating a shoe. It is plummeting into oblivion.
man.. a vekoma tilt would be a good call if they update it.
So close to 100k ❤❤
I'm alright with whatever I just hope they keep the queue line videos!
1:09 not me freaking out like FREAKING OUT about the shoe 👟 😅
Dan... How about linking / Joining up Oblivion with the Smiler... 😮😂👀
Please please make that in planet coasters... 😂🤘
Hiii im a massive fan i love your videos keep up the good work !! ❤❤
How about turning the trains around and sending you down backwards? Would definitely be a new experience 😂😂.
SHOE TIME 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥👞👞👞👞👟👟👟👟👟👟👟🔥🔥🔥🔥
0:34 sounds weird saying that a dive coaster is the oldest at the park 😂
Can’t wait for them to remake it is Oblivion Is Here Again🎉🎉
YES DIGITAL G early love your vids!!
Maybe a Single Rail??

It will be retracked, mark my words.
Will you eat a shoe if your wrong 😂
@Tswirl358😂 and just don’t treat it like digitalised daniel!
@Tswirl358 I don't know, I feel like eating a shoe is something that is more of Dan's thing, you know?
One video everyday, Dan is cooking fr
Oblivion is still the best dive coaster in my opinion, the dive coaster is meant for the drop and drop only. All the six flags ones pale in comparison to Oblivion's drop.
THE SHOEEEEEEEEE
Worth noting that oblivion had significant structural issues in the tunnel this year, which is why it was shut for a while
"WE'RE RMCING STORM SURGE AND GIVING IT A BEYOND VERTICAL DROP!" ahh video
I actually think you're wrong, I saw a Chinese worker so I think this is a reference to what they're going to do. I believe they're going to dig a hole to China and then make it do a turn to a really long break run.
Lolll
We need Gerstlauer Sector to go with Intamin Forest and B&M Valley
YEA
you should do a planet coaster video of making what you think- or hope oblivion will turn out to be
@coaster_chloe_alt_2 imma make a bunch of oblivion possibilities when I get planco2 cos why not
@ i have planco 1🤓👆 but my cousin needs to teach me how to play it😭
Nemesis & Oblivion were what made Alton Towers' heyday! Yes, the corkscrew put them on the map but these two 👌 when Tussauds knew how to run the park. I agree you can't keep retracting all coasters. But I think you can with these two.
They should make it a zamperla volare and theme it to a shoe
Welcome to oblivion 😮
Aint no way hes acknowledged the damn shoe😭😭
as much as I love/loved Blivvy, I think they should just ditch it now. it's very much a product of its time.
I have a lot of nostalgic connection with it, rode it when I was about 13 years old back in 2000 or 2001. however, I wouldn't miss it if it was gone. you need to look into the future.
AHHHH DAN
SHOE 👀
SO CLOSE TO 100K
Are we going to have Dan eating a shoe before gta 6?
The shoe will probably be the 100k special which would be legendary
1:52 and Rita is just… well… Rita. 😂
rita is just shi-
@ EXACTLY
Something else to think about is the fact that the track is underground has an age differently to the track on nemesis that was out in the open?
I'd retrack it and retheme it with the smiler. Could even add strobe lighting in the tunnel. And then add a zero g roll when you come out.
I wouldn't mind a retheming based around the Smiler
(The story could be the Ministry of Joy dump people who fail to be marmalised into Oblivion (It works as we obviously aren't marmalised on The Smiler)
800-ish Subs Away Dan!
I'm not sure they will work with B&M again for some time........
How? They have made 3 (or 4 depending on the way you look at it) coasters for towers, all survived well. Rita is looking worse for wear, so possibly no more intamin?
A custom tilt coaster seems like the best option they could definitely make it fit in oblivions plot plus they could call it vortex to oblivion 😮😂
The tilt coaster reminds me of slammer, let's not go there! 🤣
I would turn oblivion into a dark ride round the final bend and break run.. something like Chiapas, disco themed.. would be cool and not sitting in the rain waiting to get off..
The area is actually bigger than smiler so it could fit a Voltron Nevera in it
GET DAN TO 100K
Oblivion has the steepest drop on a roller coaster I have ever seen in my life!
Yo Dan do you prefer galactica or oblivion??? Love ur vids
0:07 Surprised Dan didn't say it isn't actually vertical but is 87.5°
The shoe is confirmed soon!!!
digi dan is rizzy
Digitilised Daniel😂😂🎉🎉🎉❤❤
How about a coaster that enters the hole from the other direction and then into a vertical launch...
Last year AT did an april fool saying oblivion would shut. i dont think they'd make jokes about it if it was really happening
11 seconds HOW
THE SHOE IS GETTING EATEN SOON WOOOOO
Retrack, add new second drop, call it Oblivions
Make your idea of what it should be in planet coaster
Oblivion is so preppy❤💕
What the heck that’s so weird. How can a ride be a ride? Be preppy?
Exactly shush
👟
If only the thumbnail was real 😭🙏
Where do you get the feathers mgraw plush?
i think whatever they get ride of next especially oblivion or galactica a retrack and retheme would be boring people cant keep living of nostalgia we need new thrilling rides instead
If they don't retrack my child imma... Be sad
Watch Oblivion now close in January of 2055.
There's a solution here people we're not seeing, GROW THE TREES INTO SUPERTREES TO EXTEND THE TREELINE!
Then we can replace it with Hyperia 2
oblivion has a MASSIVE drop. wait? massive? like the ninja low taper fade meme??
Have the trees not grown in the last 30 years? Surely they could build oblivion but taller?
Less than 1 hour gang
I absolutely love galactica ❤
Hi
Just when Alton towers today it was amazing!
If they did retract it, they should call it oblivion infinity
Intamin exa coaster with a station 500 feet underground
What time is going to be your life on Christmas Eve?
9:00 if they use the same trains it might bot be too tall
I’m early ( 1 minuete (aka 59 seconds ))
I LOOVE OBLIVION
"Oblivion : Out The Other Side"
Shoe 👞
Under one hour gang
I am here
hello
I would love to see oblivion be extended with a few more elements!
Someone please explain the Rita hate 😂 it looks like a fine coaster 😅
They should make Rita an intamin blitz, and why is Rita hated anyways?
First🎉 greatvid🎉❤😊
Bet he won’t pin this😂
0:07 erm actually it’s not vertical it’s 88° ☝️🤓
Should rename to digishoe dan
Leave Oblivion alone!
Shoe eating confirmed
