I think it was put there when Nemesis was constructed.. Sooo!

However, it must be in the top 3 most intense rides.. It's one of the most intense i've EVER been on! (You really don't want to know how many i've been on!)

Oblivion is so good! ;D

Nothing to special when you've rode it 56 times :$

i've been on it and no delays or anything. queue is suprisingly fast for it, i waited for like 5 mins :]
i think that the ride could be better, but it's ok.

Suppose air wouldn't be nice to get stuck on.. I got stuck on the brake run.. Its not comfy at all.. and the seats stink

OMG. The exact same thing happened to me. Lying down on the station and the seats stink of BO,

Sorry to pop your bubble, but you can't get stuck hanging over the top of oblivion, you can going up the hill but thats about it. As i've broke down going up the hill, i asked the op guy what would happen if you stopped right at the top of the thing. And he said nothing, the mechagnism they use to hold you over the edge wouldn't move, so you'd turn around the corner at like 5mph, then just go straight down without stopping.

I bet it wouldn't stand up to any of the rides in USA though would it?

I knoww :[
They feel really uncomfortable as well.
On that day my friend lost £20 and almost his phone on air rofl
We knew where the £20 was, It was on the brake run, And still no one would get it..

Only time it stopped foir me was when it should do, dangling at top where u look down for about 5-10 seconds

Yes it can..

The "mechagnism" as you call it is actually a brake system, which holds the car at the top. Therefore, should there be any kind of technical problem then the car will stop there "/
