Have a fantastic New Year everyone! (P.S Baron 1898 opened 2015 not 2016)
COASTER BOT same to u Harry
Reply plz
COASTER BOT same Harry love your videos and keep doing them
Thanks for the love Mario!
Quel_Qualcuno I do hope to return to Gardaland in the future, but I'd love to visit some new parks for me next year, and I only have a tight budget. I do apologise :(
Also Ben, no. :)
YES, I WANTED THIS!!
European dive coasters: Smaller but we'll themed
American dive coasters: Giant but screw theming.
Dooble you don't always have the vast space available for huuge coasters in most places in Europe, so to attract people the theme the hell out of it and I like it! (best being klugheim phantasia baron close second for me though)
saberline152 yeah I know that. I'm not saying anything against Europe. I like all the theming there while here you've gotta go to Disney if you want some good theming.
Dooble I know you weren't bashing Europe, but was just pointing out something very important: space and at least you have recordbreaking coasters I only have taron in my immediate vicinity
when he said that they were well themed I was definitely confused lol. then you pointed this out and now i see the distinction
Dooble yeah lol
I'm getting a theme here, Oblivion the black hole is the other side of Oblivion at alton towers thus making them two ends of the same worm hole and the nemesis monster moved to Thorpe park in 2003 from alton towers and got injured by the volcano and is now lurking safe underground.
I definitely like it more now you've added music to these videos😜👍🏼
That's great to hear! :)
The backroundmusic really works well! Just maybe turn the volume down a bit, and probably choos somethign with less percussion? Someting more, chilly. :D
Awesome, that's great to hear. I am still trying to fine-tune the music, but went with a space themed (that's what it sounded like to me) feel for the music. We'll find the perfect music eventually :)
Totally get that! Great idea :D The overall sound wasnt bad, but i found the very present percussion a bit distracting. Especially with your calm voice.
So is oblivion in the UK on the other side of the black whole?
no oblivion the black hole was built as a sequel to Oblivion at Alton Towers
Dom wpc because the black hole closed in 2005?
Aslan Oblivion the black hole is fake oblivion, real oblivion is at alton towers.
Ashley Kelleway Fine I’ll link you to real oblivion. If you want me too that is.
Ashley Kelleway Oblivion doesn’t go upside down. I’ve seen videos of fake oblivion the black hole, it goes upside down. I live in the uk too.
How can Gardaland afford to lose so many customers to another dimension?
They've got a clone of the ride in the other dimension. So if you ride that one, you come back to our dimension. :)
COASTER BOT Now it all makes sense.
Oblivion sends them to gardaland and oblivion the black hole sends them to alton towers
Loving this one. The music fits perfectly.
Awesome, thank you! :)
Oblivion Q line video: Have you seen anyone come out the other side?
Meanwhile in Italy: Thank goodness Oblivion's ove- WHERE AM I?
Wonderful explanation and narration. For a GP or a long-time enthusiast, your videos cover all types of viewers.
Thank you! That is the aim, to appeal to everyone. I'd love for more people to become interested in Theme Parks and Roller Coasters by watching these videos :)
COASTER BOT I have found that I was a GP, until I rode my first coaster and wanted to learn how it ran, and what the buzz was for coasters. I then found these videos, along with Taylor's parody of my favorite ride. The combination of both your channels made me love coasters more for their beauty (and I annoyed my family more) Thank you for your amazing videos, good luck! Also, congrats on Clamshell Award!
That's really fantastic to hear. I'm glad we got you into roller coasters. Thank you for watching and for the congratulations on the award. :)
This and Raptor are the main two reasons I would return to Gardaland, Blue Tornado wasn't as bad as everyone makes it out to be aswell.
Daniel Mullins I really like BlueTornado haha
Lupo Casanova yeah people say it's rough but Furious Baco is way rougher than it and people don't complain about that.
Both Oblivion and Raptor are fantastic rides. I do hope to revisit Gardaland in the future, I loved the park! :)
Jay Fryatt I was on the middle of the train so it wasn’t bad, if they were tearing it down id like to see them put in a Mack Big Dipper.
The background music was received well! Happy new year Harry! You’re still my favourite coaster channel :)
Awesome, I'm glad you liked it. Happy New Year! Thank you so much, it means a lot :)
The music of oblivion 😍
You know, while I was in the area, I didn't really here the Oblivion music that much. Gardaland needs to work on louder audio in some places of the park.
Thanks for doing these videos!!! I'm really into attraction design, and your videos always amaze me. Compared to other videos, you put in so much time and detail to your videos, and it just makes them better than all the others. Thank you!!
No problem, thank you for watching! I'm glad you can tell we focus on quality. :)
YES, ANOTHER VIDEO ON WHAT I WANTED!!
Awesome! :)
What is Oblivion tbh?
The best dive in Europe!
Good video!
Thank you! :)
Best one yet
Awesome, thank you! :)
Good video! I like how you're still polishing the format that made you known for. Your comments about the queueline experience is also appreciated :)
Happy 2018 Harry!
Thank you, I'm still trying to find what works the best. Did you prefer this video to others in the last? And I'll note that about the queue line experience. Happy New Year dude! :)
I think overall your new video is better, however I miss the 'enthusiast reception to the coaster' part than was more present in earlier What is videos. In my opinion, commenting about the general coasterfan consensus (or lack of) for a ride gives a great sense of context about it.
Thanks Harry :)
Noted, thanks for the feedback. I should have made it more explicit that enthusiasts, as well as everyone, liked the new addition. Hence the boost for Gardaland. That's great to hear though. :)
Love this ride! Back row is my personal favourite - I had an amazing ride where I got complete weightlessness through the entire drop, it was awesome!
It is a fantastic ride, I must agree! :)
There’s an even better one in Alton Towers. It’s also called Oblivion. It goes straight down into a hole. Yup. It goes straight underground and then comes back out on the other side.
I've been on it! The Oblivion at Alton Towers is pretty good, but I prefer this one, having done both :)
yeah it has no inversions or any good moments it just has a 6 mile brake run
Nicely explained mate
Thank you :)
Great job! Can you explain the Beast from KI?
Thank you! The Beast is on the list, thanks for the suggestion :)
COASTER BOT no problem! I noticed you put music in the background. It adds something extra to the video. (Also, in your poll, I wasn’t trying to offend you, your voice doesn’t bore me at all I was just speaking for others :))
Yeah, I agree, the music does add an extra something. It's quite difficult to offend me, and I was only joking with you in the poll, don't worry. ;)
Baron 1898 'efteling) opened at 1 July 2015 ^^
I apologise for this, I don't know why I assumed it was 2016, the opening still seems quite recent to me I guess.
Looks like a lot of fun before you even get on the ride, and the ride looks really cool. I've never been on a dive coaster, hopefully one of these days. Happy New Year!
It's an extremely fun experience from start to end. Hopefully you do get on a dive coaster soon. Happy New Year! :)
Baron 1898 opened in 2015. ;D
I apologise for this, I don't know why I assumed it was 2016, the opening still seems quite recent to me I guess.
Really love that Coaster^^
could you make a video where you show all the different tracks of the Rollercoaster Companies so we could seperate them while we see them. :)
That's awesome to hear! Through the 'Manufacturer's Explained' series I am doing this. There's a dedicated section to identifying the track of the manufacturer, so stay tuned for more of those. :)
COASTER BOT thank you for your great Quality Content!
Youre such a nice guy ;)
In fact, I would want to ride this!
As always this was a great video! So glad I recently stumbled upon this channel :) Also since you've been to Gardaland I'd like to ask if you've been on Sequoia Adventure and if so what are your thoughts about it?
Thank you very much! I'm glad you come across my channel too. Sequoia Adventure was closed when we went unfortunately. :(
COASTER BOT oh no that's a shame 😕 I really wanted to know your opinion since many people say it's terrible whereas I loved it! Also it looks like both of us didn't have much luck when we went to Gardaland because when I did, Shaman wasn't avaiable 😂
I would love to see a ride with an oblivion-like storyline come to the UK. I think it would go to London resort,or maybe, Oakwood might get a dive coaster!
Eftelings Baron 1898 was Oblivion's sister. they where built in the same time but oblivion was dobe earlier. Baron 1898 opened at 30 July 2015
This is correct, I apologise for the error
Great video again! But I must say the dive pit seems a bit disappointed based on the footage in this video. On Baron 1898 you look straight into the pit but on this one it seem like there is to much stuff obstruction the view. Or is that not the case when you ride it in real life?
Thanks man! I think it's meant to be that you can't really distinguish where you are going. You seemingly travel into nothingness. However, peering into an obvious hole works to great affect, as seen on Baron and Oblivion, like you said. :)
WOW Great theming(theming is better than dive coaster next to my city which opened 2018 start with D)
It really is! :)
Oblivion TBH is one of 3 best dive coasters in the world (1in europe)
You reckon? There are quite a few other great dive coasters in Europe now, like Valkyria and Baron 1898 :)
Coaster Bot.
It would mean a lot to me if you could do this. Long story short, my dad used to work there and could give you many tidbits on the real reason of ride closures, etc.
please, do six flags astroworld explained.
That's interesting to hear. As the park no longer exists, it is quite difficult to create a video on it. I wouldn't expect the video, but I will add your suggestion to the list. Thanks for watching :)
European coasters generally have a lot more themeing to them which makes them more enjoyable, like this one, nemesis and the swarm.
I agree! :)
Now I know where CSGO got the design of Horizon on the map Thrill.
Not the same coaster type but the same theming
I3ackGeRRi Delic same track type
Im sure its a b&m invert on the map which is made by the same company as this
They literally ripped of Oblivion as Oblivion was the first vertical drop rollercoaster of its kind and in the same region of the Park was a ride called the Black Hole (now demolished and replaced with the record breaking Smiler)
Both parks are owned by the same company. So this ride is more of a homage to the original Oblivion :)
COASTER BOT never knew that
I have been on only one Dive Coaster and that is the Griffon at Busch Gardens in Williamsburg Virginia. but would love to experience others.
#Bucketlist
Griffon looks like an awesome one! :)
The Queue building was closed at our visit i would've lived to see it
From what I've heard many people aren't big fans of dive coasters. I personally quite like them though. I'd love to see a 8-10 seater dive machine with Disney-level theming one day. But that seems very unlikely.
Some people aren't because they are a little bit short. However I really enjoy them. What you've theorised would be awesome! :)
Nice video
For me: this is the best dive coaster i have ridden, but baron 1898 is my home dive machine and the best themed
Baron looks really well themed, but I agree Oblivion the black hole is great :)
Keegan1104 You do realise oblivion the black hole is an imposter. Alton towers should sue gardaland.
@@danielledewitt1 But Oblivion at Alton is dull. This is a decent ride.
Keegan1104 Oblivion at alton towers might be a one trick pony put it’s still a great ride.
Love the video this looks like an amazing coaster you should make a video on the rip ride rocket or cheetah hunt
It is an amazing roller coaster, thanks for watching and enjoying the video. Those two roller coasters are on the list. :)
Amazing video bro
Thank you! :)
This is by far merlins best themed coaster, I thought the queue was amazing.. Id love to see oblivion at towers get a full retheme in the queue area like this, it would be so much cooler.. I liked this as a complete story more than baron since its understandable and the theming is more impressive, Baron's is beautiful though and is definitely one of the best looking coasters too, loved the station and lift hill
It's hard to decide Merlin's best themed coaster right now, I prefer each one for different reasons. Raptor is fantastic, the Swarm fantastic, Oblivion The Black Hole fantastic. It's a tricky choice. Barons story can be a little hard to follow, but I prefer it's theming overall compared to Oblivion. Nevertheless, both attractions are fantastic. :)
Raptors was great, but it never really had the wow factor that oblivion the black hole had, same with the swarms, theres not really a store being told. As for baron, the theming is very nice to look at, but i dont really find it cool, its just pretty like all of the park,
I hope to ride this. Happy New Year's
It's a fantastic coaster. Happy New Year to you too! :)
Amazing video once again, I question how you make such good videos XD
Thank you! I don't really know, practise and dedication? :)
COASTER BOT no problem, and I guess your hardwork pays off
I almost missed this video!
Good thing you didn't! :)
You should do what is colossus at Thorpe
It's on the list, thanks for the suggestion :)
You don’t actually stop at the top of B&M dive machines...you slow to a very slow crawl as the mechanism that holds you is a lift chain.
Indeed, it's a reverse chain lift. All that information is a little too much for this video though. Effectively you are held at a standstill :)
Good job
Thanks :)
COASTER BOT also I’m on coasterstudios discord lol.
Awesome!
COASTER BOT and you got mad at me and another guy. *end of discussion* lol
This is cool! Looks like five coasters are becoming more popular. My only complaint is how short the ride is though
They seem to be. They are short, but thrilling. :)
This would've been a much better story for the original Oblivion at Alton Towers. Or maybe they could say the 'black hole' transports riders to an alternate universe Gardaland/Alton Towers which looks just like our own versions but are ever so slightly different....!
The original Oblivion's storyline is still pretty good, it just needs a massive update to bring it to the modern day. I appreciate that they are two different themes. :)
‘Oblivion: The Black Hole’
Doesn’t even have the iconic fenced-off misty black hole of oblivion.. wow.
What is: What's your opinion?
Now you have to do What is, Oblivion Alton Towers.
It's on the list, thanks for the suggestion. :)
0:52 That's a funny joke
It's true here in Europe ;)
COASTER BOT yes but not in America lol
I feel like Dive Coasters only work with themeing, that's why I think Baron 1898 is better than Valravn.
They definitely work better with theming :)
Nice vid harry
Thank you! :)
Lookin good
Definitely :)
My favourite coaster = taron
Taron is awesome! :)
@@coasterbot yes!!!
Please do a raptor (gardaland) video
Raptor is on the list, thanks for the suggestion. :)
I’m not a fan of the music but it’s a good video.
Noted, thank you! :)
One thing I dont like about oblivion - the black hole is that you have to refer it as oblivion - the black hole or people might get confused with oblivion or the black hole (both Alton rides btw)
I'm sure not many will have done all three rides, so only a few will be confused with the naming scheme.
POV: you live near gardaland but you're scared of hight and never went on oblivion
How about, "What is: Star trek: Operation Enterprise"? Keep up the good work! :D
It's on the list, thanks for the suggestion and kind words! :)
Strata Dive coaster
I rode it it was my first divecoaster
Awesome! :)
More themed Dive Coasters in the future? Sure why not?
Doesn't this classify as a mini dive coaster? it has 6 across seating and that drop looks like 87 degrees rather than 90
Indeed it does :)
Baron 1898 is the best themed Dive Coaster.
I agree! :)
But Taron is the best coaster. :P
What do you think the upcoming SW8 (Wicker Man) at Alton Towers will be themed to?
So far it looks to be themed towards a cult/hidden village which wants to return back to an easier and much simpler time.
Six Flags New England: Explain? When will that be?
I have no idea, but it's on the list. :)
Would it’s name be counted as a slight copy of Oblivion in AT?
Yes, but both parks are owned by the same chain, so it was deliberate :)
(Narrator: A sharp left hand turn.)
Me: what if your field of view was flipped after you found out what was left/right?
This is the Shrek 2 of Oblivion at Alton towers
PLEASE DO WHAT IS SPEED NO LIMITS IN OAKWOOD THEME PARK
I'll note that down, thanks for the suggestion :)
:)
It would be nice to see a dive coaster with a dive loop after the first drop rather than an immelmann.
That's true, I agree! :)
oh only 25 seconds ride time? the approximate ride time of the rides featured in the "What Is" series is at about 54,67647058823529 seconds
That would be an interesting statistic! ;)
it really took half of an hour to watch all those videos at double speed again to calculate this statistic. I may should have done it with maximum speed, length, height, angle of descent and capacity too.
Do Disneyland: Explained or What is: Matterhorn.
I will add them both to the list, thanks for the suggestion. :)
Is this the sequel to Oblivion at Alton towers?
Not really, but it does seem to pay homage to the original dive coaster, Oblivion. :)
Also known as they used to be next to each other in the X sector
I thought when this came up on my notifications it was oblivion at Alton towers lol sorry
No need to be sorry! ;)
So, is it just copying the Oblivion in the UK at Alton towers
The same company owns the two Theme Parks. It is more of a nod to Oblivion than it is a copy :)
COASTER BOT thanks for the reply, good information
Great video but 270 degrees IS NOT a helix. B&M does call that element a Carousel Turn/Spin though.
Thank you. It really depends how you define a helix. Because the track changes elevation throughout the turn I believe that it is a helix. :)
I see but a helix is 360 degrees or more. Anything less is known as a spiral.
The name crosses 2 rides from the Xsector in 2005
Indeed it does :)
Great video, and looks like a fun, if short, ride. This is proof that American parks don't understand theming. There are three B&M dive coasters in the US, and only Sheikra drops into something, and that's on the second drop, not the first big one. Griffon and Valravn just have normal boring drops. What's even the point?
Thank you! I definitely agree, it's a shame there aren't more dive coasters in the US that utilise their full potential. These rides are incredibly easy to theme, it's madness.
What is Storm runner
It's on the list, thanks for the suggestion :)
The largest park in italy is Mirabilandia,not Gardaland .
If you notice, I said "one of Italy's largest theme park". Nevertheless, I think Gardaland has a larger attendance than Mirabilandia does.
What is Oblivion: The Black Hole
Named after two Alton Towers coasters for a start
(I thought his was the alto towers ride...)
There is also a ride at Alton Towers called Oblivion! :)
You've outdone your own video.
Thank you, I'm glad you think that! :)
Alton towers:there is 1 imposter among us
They should have just called this oblivion and oblivion at Alton towers should be oblivion the black hole, since there is more of a ‘black hole’ at Alton towers, aswell as the ride being black
That's interesting and does make sense to be fair :)
Last video of 2017!
Indeed! There's a lot to look forward to in 2018 :)
Two Alton towers coasters names combined
I think
You are correct! :)
What's on the other side of the Black Hole? A sign saying that "Oblivion at Alton Towers is better :)" or a Schwarzkopf Jet Star 2?
Oblivion has a better drop, but Oblivion - The Black Hole is better overall ;)
In the video is a fault Baron 1898 opened in 2015 not in 2016.
I apologise for this, I don't know why I assumed it was 2016, the opening still seems quite recent to me I guess.
The exact opening date of Baron 1898 was 1 july 2015
I got an ad :o
