My fav ride of all time in the park is Oblivion. Well I mean that on a less busy or day when I ha e Platinum Fast track. To be honest if the queue is over an hour long I feel its not worth such a long wait. Dont get me wrong for your first ever ride it is worth the wait. I first went on this in 1998 if memory serves me well. Back when they had well known fast food restaurants in the park. My first ride was after an annoying 3 hour queue. Although the wait was annoying it was a unique and enjoyable ride. It is a shame that comaints from local residents of Alton, got the speaker at the top removed. The speaker belted out the Audio "Dont Look Down!". Tjis was a cool feature and is sadly missed by many people. This ride is soo cool to ride in the dark during Scarefest. Seeing the mist surrounding the gaping hole you go into and not being able to see hardly anything is soo fun. There is also some great views of the castle and other amazing features of the surround areas. Remember Dont Look Down!
