  • damn everyone look down and dont hold on its so much better!

  • Or maybe even 1996!

  • It should have opened in 1997!

  • terrifying the first time, and still great fun the second and third time, but only if the queue is small XD

  • yhe ride used to say dont look down just before the drop but it doesnt now so i have to shout it lol

  • i'm definatly gonna get the fast pass next time so i can go on this ride

  • this ride is a Killer, went on it twice on sunday lol

  • @kc270352 the scariest ride ever.....

  • holy shit I crapped my self when I went on it。

  • i thought oblivian was amazing cause you dont now when you will drop

  • This advert was playing in the queue, i was filling my pants.. didnt make things any easier! But it has to be the best at Alton Towers, so so thrilling!!

  • @EMBOBZ2112 I didnt for me it played all the queue videos only in diffrent rooms.

  • @lumavivi3 I AM GAY. SO WHAT? FANCY ME BUMMING YOU?

  • this advert creeps me out more than the thirteen one cause he says in a creepy voice DONT LOOK DOWN! and then he smiles lol

  • :L dont get what any of the comments have to do with this ride :L :L :L i am to scared to go on this ride tbh i have NEVER been on a rolicoster

  • @littlemisscoolstar Lol :) Its amazin.. should be your first. Going up might be a bit iffy.. but tbh when it stops at the top i just relaxed and loved it.. been on it loads :L I really do recommend it :)

  • @lumavivi3 I'm a 14 year old girl.. Noice one. And for the record, I hate twilight, and Edward Cullen. You are a sad, strange, retarded man, and you have my pity. FIN.

  • wow,the coaster get first to drop before the leak of his sweat.....

  • ...that dudes creepy...0_0

  • Shouldn't Switzerland be getting the credit? I mean B&M (the designer's of this coaster and many other in the US) was founded in Switzerland...

  • This advert creeps me out more than the TH13TEEN one

  • this ride is AMAZING!

  • @xVampireCandyx They also stole Queer As Folk :(

  • how long has merlin amusements owned alton towers for?!!!

  • @aCamCamProductions look it up lol :D

  • @xoxocarlaukxoxo I take it you don't know then! Lol; D

  • But looking down is the fun part :P

  • Mint ride...:D

  • cant wait to go to alton towers

  • hehe the man that says don't look down looks like that (is it the master?) out of doctor who :L you know the evil one :L

  • I looked down ..... BIG MESTAKE !!!

  • the thing about american rides is that there all the same, they have nothing in comon, oblivion is the first head first verticle drop roller coaster

  • DONT LOOK DOWN!

    "Looks down at his shoe"

    AH CRAP!

    "Drops down into the hole"

  • We Britons invent the first of it's kind in the world mostly, with good theming and presentation, (Such as Air, Oblivion, Colossus, Th13teen ect...).

    Whereas Americans decide to go with the easy method by copying our originals, and building bigger and faster ones, and plonking it on a flat piece of land, typically concrete, along with some hideous colours for the track.

    Like I said, I'm from the UK and done both American and British coasters, and without a doubt, British coasters are better.

  • Comment removed

  • this. was. awsome

    

  • hmmm if i can remember correctly the king da ka in america got stuck RIGHT at the top i do think that oblivion had but atleats it isnt 500 ft in the air i would of had a fit if that happened to me sought yur self out america!

  • the first time i went on this i was scared as hell. i was on the front row, on the second seat in from the right, i think the thing that makes it most scary is you just go round the bend really slowly, and see the tracks dissappear (when your hanging over the drop) scary stuff. I love when you go down - adrenaline rush ;)

  • This advert is actually really really good and finally, one that does these rides justice! :) Haha.

    Also, both America and the UK have pretty awesome rides.. Imo :)

  • What American's need to realize is that most of their rollercoaster's were originally designed and created in the UK first, mostly at Alton Towers which is popular for its 'world first' rides (eg: Oblivion, Air, Th13teen etc). We're basically a test gound for America to improve upon our ideas then say that their rides are "better". Of course they're better, but we invented them first so at least we have originality. Saying that, I have nothing against American's.

  • Well as a "stupid american" I actually like the concept of this coaster, and once I get my passport updated, I will be riding it. Now if everybody on both sides could stop taking jabs at eachother, I could've have just watched this amazing advert, without having to see downers like the two highest rated comments. Coasters are fun, who cares who made them.

  • What are these stupid Americans babbling about? Their theme parks aren't all that amazing - the only special thing about them is the fact that they have seperate ques for the morbidly obese riders (Which is about 60% of the population).

  • That guy looks like freddy from scooby doo!

  • @koolkillax

    I thought he looked more like Sickboy from Trainspotting xD

  • @MaskoftheWraith Aw right ok but I though he did though

  • As a 5 year old boy in 1998, this advert literally gave me nightmares. I would hide behind the armchair with my fingers in my ears and my eyes shut. The blonde guy creeped the shit outa me! still does :L

  • that blonde guys awesome

  • Germany will have the best dive coster of the world next year!

  • god when that man said dont look down it scared the shit out of me

  • oblivion 2nd best coaster in world after nemesis

  • Right you Americans are like "This is a shitty version of SheiKra or Griffon". Well actually this is the original and if this wasn't invented, then neither would SheiKra or Griffon. So you guys should be proud of this coaster and after all, it's the only ride of its type to go 100ft above the ground and 100ft underneath the ground.

  • looks american are fucked up, happy

  • Hey, what do all you have against americans, huh, i bet a lot of you are fat, and at least we have rides more than 2 feet tall. Oh,and you guys dont even have a coaster building company, we do, ao how are we copying your non coaster building place? Im not trying to be mean, but gee youre some rude RUDE disrepectfull immature people. God bless america!

  • @TheThundercoaster "i bet a lot of you are fat"...sooo this is coming from an American? youve alredy made me laugh! 2 feet tall? the pepsi max?its 235 feet tall, BIG diffrence. It is one of Europe's tallest coasters UK's tallest though.

    MAX G-Force of 5 worth $23,000,000

    KINGDA KA - unfortunatly for you it might be the tallest in the world but it is also a great ride to go on if you want to get whipped in the face with a metal rope and break your nose, im sure the 13 yr old enjoyed that. CIAO

  • @ilufffunnystuff that was xcelerator stupid!

  • @ilufffunnystuff i was responding to a comment that someone else said. americans are fat. WTF. who cares its a frigging roller coaster grow up!

  • @TheThundercoaster Really? Right, so now you've figured out how to respond to people, perhaps you could copy and paste your previous comment and respond to them the right way. Unless of course, It wasn't a response at all....

  • @ilufffunnystuff stop. Okay. Just stop. You have no right to talk trash about america! So please just leave me alone and bug someone else.

  • @TheThundercoaster Haha, This is coming from the person, who started this, by saying our rides are 2 foot tall and that you bet we're fat. You've also just contradicted your self by saying "I have no right to talk trash about America", Where the fuck is your right to trash talk England? Just shut up, you're making a fool of yourself.

  • Feet and height do not matter. Theming, sensation, g's, thrills do. This ride is not 450 feet tall and no it is not 2 feet tall if you're trying to be sarcastic or 100 as you probably mean (180 feet to be precise) but it, along with the supreme buildup was a sensation for its time and along with nemisis, is still regarded as one of the best roller coasters to date. You build huge tall roller coasters every year, we build up and give them a 'proper' sensation.

    God Bless Everyone

  • @minotaur878 i know. I was just getting tired of people making fun of us americans.

  • @ CrazeyKoaster, no , oblivion is 180 feet, just saying.

  • Sheikra and oblivion are both 200ft anyway!

    Except oblivion goes under ground so it looks smaller!!

  • @jimloopy49 No its not, you can say that you had the first, but there is no doubt that griffon is better (taller, longer pause time, 2 immelins, splash sequence)

  • @jimloopy49 no they were built by the same company. Nobody copied a thing.

  • American coasters are great, but so are the ones at Alton Towers!

  • as you drop, its 4g, more than a shuttle launch!!

  • oblivion is the word , but strangely you have to go on again , and again

  • @999josh2 LOL Its in fact 89 degrees :)

  • @xXxSexyEmoBoyxXx and th13teen = psychoaster bringing physical and psycological fear

  • @js00981213 I was only making a point to piss of americans!

  • @xXxSexyEmoBoyxXx lolwut haha

  • @xXxSexyEmoBoyxXx i like oblivion more then sheikra, but sheikra was the first TRUE 90 degree drop.

  • This is a sick ride you Amercians make me vomit. Twats.

  • F u america nearly half of you are too fat to fit on the rides so there pretty useless anyway...

  • To All Haters of Americans Rides: Have you ever heard of Shikra at Bush Gardens? 

  • @sniperatarooftop

    fuck sheikra getting droped into a black hole is much better than droppng into a shitty inversion, how many years did it take to come up with more or less the same ride as oblivion after it was built here

  • @sniperatarooftop Shut up, we made the first vertical drop coaster so get lost

  • It's a fantastic ad! Captures the feel of the ride which is awesome and I'd recommend it to ANY coaster fan!!!

  • DUMBEST COMMERCIAL EVER.

  • Pause at 9 seconds, I'd shit myself if I saw that before I fell down the hole hahaha

  • its not even vertical.... its 87 degrees.........

  • @josephmc97 Nooo it does go vertical

  • oh my god i'm going to alton towers next week and i cant wait to go on this ride! yeah, i agree, american rides are pretty awesome, but you have to admit, that british rides are just as good, but not as flashy, which doesn't even matter, and we invented them all first! (saw, oblivion air, ect...all a-ma-zing!) BRITISH RIDES R THE BEST!!!

  • @alertpan501 Check your adverting, this is oblivion the rollercoaster, not the game.

  • Sod off you fat cunt Americans this was the first and you have to accept it. You're all second and third so fuck the lot of ya.

  • Ok Americans may have better looking rides but I guarantee alot of them would look at oblivion and think fuck that. I did first few times I went to the park

  • So what if americans have better rides? we invented the 1st of nearly every kind

  • those guys eyes are actually terrifying

  • ok acording to yuo americans this ride was built in 1998 or something this is the first VERTICAL drop ride people were shit scared of it when it was out so yuo can shove KK and TTD up your fat arseholes i mean england is a lot smaller so yeah it is gunna have less theme parks and stuff

  • what the fuck you absolute cunts.

    this is the first vertical drop rollercoster and its fucking hellish, if you dont like it, GTFO off this video and go watch some disney shit. i went to disney world and the amount of FAT americans in motor-wheelchairs was staggering. fat cunts, you may have the best rides, thats not to say you can fit on them.

  • @KodaKumi101 Disneyland Florida,yes, but Paris is exellent.

  • Been on this ride twice its a fantastic coaster where you must not look down

  • American rides maybe bigger than ours that dont make them better, our rides hav the same g-forces which is all that really matters when creating an intense ride and we hav also built sum revolutionary worlds 1st rollercoaster types!

  • i love tht ride its so cool

  • what do you mean by vertical ? as in it just randomly drops down ? i will be on that next week :)

  • @oOToXSiiCkOo No, what happens is.... you go up on a track to about 180 feet, you then hang over the edge of a huge hole in the middle of the ground, you then drop down- your whole body is as if you were stood on a wall, its all facing the ground- you then go into the hole, its brilliant

  • OMG not oblivion ive been on that about a million and one times i was talking about thirteen the new ride but thanks for the insight haha even tho i know exactly how it feels

  • they say this is the worlds 1st vertiacal, but then they say thirteen the new ride at alton towers is the worlds first1 xx

  • No, its the first ever freefall on a rollercoaster... pay attention

  • haha who gives a shit if americans have better rollercoasters, they might be bigger and faster but i think you'l find they ALWAYS break down and pretty sure theres been loaaads of stories of crashes and deaths in american theme parks.

  • american people suck anyways i love being english but england in general is going down alton towers is class tho

  • @lottifer0

    lol not to mention they always copy our ideas

  • @lottifer0 Not BG Europe :)

  • @lottifer0 umm have you ever heard of cedar point?!?! its the best amusement park in the world!!!!!

  • @lottifer0 yeah because idiots like you break the rules

  • @TheThundercoaster hahah yeah? I think you'll find its the idiotic americans that break the rules, probably because your all fat and the rides can't hold your weight

  • @lottifer0 I haven't heard of any in a while.

  • 1 of my fave rides :)

  • aggghhhh iv bin 2 alton towers but not on this hehe im going on it in septembre :D cnt w8!!

  • So what

  • I love this ride, mainly because it was the first of many vertical drop coasters. a ledgend :]

  • Comment removed

  • all you americans just watch these uk rollercoaster vids to boast about your own rollercoasters and guess what we reall y dont care so...

  • Comment removed

  • @iContee

    yeah, i know, i always think about that

  • @iContee Well said!

  • sorrey about what sed earlier its just u do and also im pretty jelous too lol

  • DONT BE SORRY THE AMERICANZ ALREDY NO THEY HAV THE BEST ROLLER COASTERS!!!!!!!!!!

    shud i of put all dat in bold riting?

  • not true. Oblivion is better then sheikra. Americans still havent bettered the nemesis. thats from an engineering point of view aswell because im an engineer. ;-)

  • @Great88 are you kidding me? im from england, been to alton towers many times, but ive also been to american parks like Six flags in NJ, and Cedar Point and more, but I agree with the americans, After experiencing Top Thrill Dragster and Kingda Ka, I hate alton towers and all british rides lol. Sorry ;D

  • @Grantjeffries well i hope u fall off one and break your back :-D

  • @Great88 no pain no gain ;) i'd rather go to them, take the VERY VERY VERY VERY LOW risk of gettin hurt and get a thrill then go to these and die of bordem.

    p.s. you do know theres risks with everything you do in life?

    p.p.s you saw how tall they are? i would die not just break my back, please dont use injuries that english coasters are only small enough for ;)

  • @iContee u r forgiven :) im from uk lol

  • Went on this yesterday. Scary but cool. Best ride in the park!

  • The guy who says dont look down is fit and hot

  • He looks gay

  • it's an amazing ride but when you're at the top it doesn't say 'don't look down anymore' :(

  • i know stupid people. that made the ride better. its becuase people complained about the noise. Its A Fucking theme park of course thers gonna be loads of noise
