Oblivion, Steel roller coaster at Alton Towers, England.
This steel roller coaster features an 87.5-degree vertical drop from a height of 65 feet, reaching speeds of 68 miles per hour during descent.
Opening on March 14, 1998, Oblivion emerged from a secret construction project in Fantasy World under the development code name SW4.
The ride experience includes pre-boarding entertainment with overhead screens delivering technical briefings mixed with British humor.
The roller coaster accommodates 1,700 riders per hour through multiple train operations and requires passengers to be at least 140 centimeters tall.
Two separate cameras capture rider reactions, one at the start of the vertical plunge and another during the high-banked turn that follows.
