Oblivion: The Black Hole, Dive coaster at Gardaland theme park, Italy.

Oblivion: The Black Hole is a Bolliger & Mabillard Dive Coaster at Gardaland in Castelnuovo del Garda. Its lift hill raises the train to 42.5 m, where a holding brake suspends it over an 87-degree drop; released, it plunges into a subterranean tunnel at close to 100 km/h, then climbs out through an Immelmann, an airtime hill, a 270-degree helix and a heartline roll. The floorless trains use over-the-shoulder restraints.

Gardaland held a groundbreaking ceremony on 25 August 2014 for a ride codenamed "Project Orange". On 13 January 2015 the park revealed the name and space theme, with skydiver Roberta Mancino passing through a ring of divers trailing smoke canisters. The Bolliger & Mabillard Dive Coaster opened on 28 March 2015 as Italy's first vertical drop coaster and the sister ride of Oblivion at Alton Towers, both Merlin Entertainments parks.

The ride's story casts guests as astronaut troops sent through a black hole that supposedly opened in the park, swallowing windmills, a van and part of a saloon. Walls of the indoor queue are painted orange, white and black with diagrams tied to the mission, and a speaker counts down "Tre, Due, Uno, Lancio!" before dispatch.

Visitors should have a tolerance for heights and fast turns, as the ride includes intense moments. Queue times can grow longer on sunny weekends and holidays, so arriving early in the morning helps avoid crowds.

The white track stands out against the dark entrance structure and creates a strong visual marker in the park. The name references the feeling of being forgotten when plunging into the black tunnels below ground.
