[seanthecomentator]

[Punkrock3011]

Oblivion and air oh my best rides at alton towers hope to them soon

[iTomzXD]

i didn't even realised that the enterprise goes upside-down . And all this while ive been enjoying this ride o_e

[keykeykay]

I think that John Wardley's screaming, is just talking about things in detail.

[Jmscoaster010]

Lol, he's as cool as a cucumber.

[NemesisInfernoLuver]

[vickygourlay9]

[tnt767]

He's Legend.

[a1s7h5l9e1y]

john wardley=gr8 man! lol i love all 3 of these rides and for all the idiots in the past who have argued over oblivion shut up. ride it, its a ride to be enjoyed not argued over!!!:P

[ThorpeParkNewCoaster]

John Wardley is the disiginer of Thorpes new coaster.

.

.

[Freddycoasterman]

John Wardley my best disiginer.

[Fifyfoefum12]

notice at 0.03, Oblvion is black, this was its orignal colour looks way better than it does now

[nadpost]

People like John Wardley are what you call secret stars and millionaires. A very clever man, well done John !!!!

[starbugger1303]

he is my idol!!!

[sd1angle]

oblivions a good ride

i never got on the other 2

that guys funny hes just sitting there relaxed on oblivion what a god

[Xoph012]

If it wasn't for him then there would be no such thing as fun.

He is such a genius for making those spectacular rides

[ymcarb95]

if it wasent for some of the rides at alton towers . . i dont think rides would be the same today at other parks

[SanbrookeProductions]

legend

[Skaterade95]

john wardleys the man!

i wanna become a roller coaster designer

[martindalekboy]

me too

[tnt767]

"Oblivion is the first *Drop* Coaster in the world." What?

[martindalekboy]

you can call it a "dive coaster" or a "VERTICAL drop coaster" he didnt say it right

[Spindalshanx]

He Is Basicly GOD!

Best rides Ever! :D

[belkproductions]

To be honest.

I dont know HOW he can just talk at the top of Oblivion and not be nervous.

I was sweating so badly at the top of Oblivion.

And he just blabbering away and im lyk OMG YOU GOTTA SCREAM MATE!

[PrincessSerina13]

john wardley is the sex.

[derbyrule]

shiekra and griffon are alot better thn rides at alton towers cos they r tht gd tht there is no competition to them but the rides at alton towers like air nemesis and oblivion r still awesome but not as gd as 1s in florida

[martindalekboy]

shiekra and griffon would not exist without oblivion, this was the first one, if they didnt make it they proberbly would be in production

[JimEGriffy]

John Wardley is really talented. He can design some of the scariest coasters in the world and also ride them without screaming and swearing his head off! If I designed Oblivion I'd still shit myself after 300 rides on it!

[leedsunited12345]

really scary? get reaal! AIR ROX!

[derbyrule]

true!

[veveraine07]

How can he be so calm on oblivion, it was the only ride I have every truly been scared on. I was stammering like crazy, my sister asked me if I was scared and it took me to the top of the lift to finish the word!

[mufctreble1999]

john wardley and the swans...the magica days of alton towers

[20thCenturyJack]

It is well Funny when Wardley is on Oblivion

[Griffonboy69]

Have you actually been on all three? Griffon and Sheikra are twice as tall as oblivion, and they actually have a vertical drop unlike oblivion.

[leedsunited12345]

who cares about the height, and at the time oblivion was made, they didnt have the tech to make it 90 degrees. Its the thrill that counts, and we all think the oblivion creates a better message than griffon or sheikra

[PrincessSerina13]

Oblivion beasts all other vertical drops- cause it was the FIRST!

[Griffonboy69]

Im not saying oblivion isnt scary! And i will never say it isnt until i have ridden it to know. All I am saying is that you really cant say a ride is better than another if you have only been on one of them. For all i know, Oblivion may be better, or it may not.

[leedsunited12345]

yeh, im not saying its better, im just saying it creates a good atmosphere... scares the hell outa u sometimes! lol

[leedsunited12345]

but griffon and sheikra are good

[derbyrule]

shiekra is awesome best ride on planet then the hulk at universal florida

[OozuckerbabyoO]

its not beleive me its ace..

[PrincessSerina13]

Air looks frikkin scary!

[leedsunited12345]

its not, its fun

[PrincessSerina13]

I wa sgoing to go on it, but the queue was huuuuuuuuuge!!

[leedsunited12345]

yh it always is :p

[PrincessSerina13]

Same here! The guy in the TV is scary too!

[SaiyanHajime]

Wardley has quite possibly the most annoying voice in the world.

[AlexHumphreys2]

Wardley is the man

But i do have to agree

[Bigdave151985]

Oblivion is 180ft yes. Its about 80ft above ground and 100ft underground

[L1F3ST0U4H]

is oblivion realy 180ft? it only looks about 100-120ft when you're on it. man shiekra doesnt sound as exciting as it first did eny more :S

[MALISH1234]

oblivion is the first drop rollercoaster in the world bev2s!

[marleymation]

first virticle drop actually

[EllieDancer]

o but a fink ur rides r mint jon no dis respect man! lol peace out bubi xx

[EllieDancer]

he swnds scared on oblivion his voice shakes like mad n on air wen he is explainin woz gonna happn sum1 shwts "IS THAT ALL!!!" *!!LMAO!!* LOL...bubi xx luf ellie

[bev2s]

"Oblivion is the first drop rollercoaster in the world" Hahaha! Yeah Rite! :)

[ShokaLion]

It was the first -vertical- drop when it was built, almost ten years ago yes.

[thrillseeker9909]

fyi, mr know it all,Oblivion WAS the worlds first vertical drop coaster when it was built in 1998. Since then others have been built and some that go past vertical like the Gerstlauer Eurofighters. There are other dive machines now like Sheikra and Griffon

[fatmazza]

no really, built in 1998, it was the 1st vertical drop coaster. Don't diss the wardley man!

[buffon8989]

'It just gives you a really good head rush' That lad, oh dear.....

[princessemo123]

is there another part cos it just like stops

[3whil]

John Wardley's word is law. But... birds don't go flying upside down or do barrel rolls. The guy below is right about oblivion. I've only been to alton towers once for six hours with my mates, with ordinary tickets, and spent half our time finding our group and waiting for air, so i didn't go on the ride. And to make this love worse, i have moved to france and there will be a 10 percent chance i'll return and 1percent with priority tickets.

[Zetec719]

Lol hes having a calm conversation on Oblivion, whenever the que i feel disorientated

[frankydevil666]

its wierd seein him like tht on oblivion, but at the end of the day, he designed it himself so i guess... well you know what i mean

[Mankey52]

"oblivion then spins them in a dark pit for maximum disorientation"

what? are they trying to say that is does a barrel roll in the hole? complete bollocks!! there was a rumour that it did this, but it doesnt!!

[Mcfresh777]

nemesis is the best ride at AT.

[Iksvelabrog1]

He's great! -funny how he isn't screaming or anything on any of those rides- mind you, if it was Nemesis...

[XLottieMediaX]

when i was there a really large lady went on air and she was last 1 b4 i went on. they pushed the bar down and tilted her forward and it poped open and they pushed it back down crushing her and sent her off on the coaster if that was me id want to get off if it popped open

[sjengdeblonde]

This was yesterday on tv!

[willbillly]

that guy is a legend!

[3whil]

too right!

[jimbob94]

this was on the program ultimate thrill rides which i taped becos it is a very good show and im a coaster freak so :D

[marleymation]

this is not a lie

jon wardly has retired from the tussasds group :'(

[Altonaa]

What a god!

[dublintimmy]

I love that he's talking about the danger and thrill of hi-tech rides, while sitting in a giant swan : )

[rct3rules]

oblivion was my first ever roller coaster, and i was shitting my self

[lewiepowie]

going down the oblivion drop is well good! i thought it would make my stomach churn but it dont at all, ITS AMAZING!

[fatmazza]

U r my icon me wardley

[ThrashMagick]

Enterprise rocks!!!I went on it with my dad and bro but mum chickened out! Air is the best but i didn't go on Oblivion but my 50 year old dad did and he came off a little quieter than normal! I will go on it next time i go, best theme park ever, i went on that chocolate season, the chocolate factory ride was...well...shit.

[celaycock]

I've never seen a calmer man in all my life. You'd think he wasn't enjoying it! Great video - Air's probably my favourite ride but you can't help but love Oblivion for being so horrendous.

[Chazlotte]

How could he not scream on Any of them rides. Or Just like forget what he is saying. I was crapping my self on all those rides, great feeling though.

[xdaisyrockx]

i bow down to this man. what a legend

[cheekybecky]

Fab! Wish Nemesis was in this clip :(
