Black Hole, Steel roller coaster at Alton Towers, United Kingdom.
The Black Hole featured a suspended track system enclosed within a large tent, creating a complete darkness environment for riders.
The attraction operated from 1984 to 2005, manufactured by Anton Schwarzkopf and underwent significant modifications in 1988 by BHS in Germany.
The roller coaster incorporated space exploration themes with Jules Verne-inspired design elements in its station and queue areas.
The indoor coaster structure received new lighting installations on the lift hill in 1985, allowing riders to anticipate the first drop.
The tent structure that contained the Black Hole remained on site until 2012, when it was dismantled to make space for The Smiler.
