Wonder how many of those hysterical YouTube videos and posts will disappear now?

They won't care. They just churn out random videos etc to fill the algorithmic void. They couldn't care less if the rumours were true or not. They'll have already had most of their views from those videos etc and will be thinking of the next dollop of mush to serve up. They will actually be reading this message right now and others across the forum searching for inspiration, but hardly ever contributing.
 
Does anyone know where the maintenance guys go, to get into the Oblivion tunnel.

And did Oblivion used to have as much theming as nemesis or is the ride we see today the same aa it was back in 1998 just more worn out

Maintenance staff for Oblivion are issued with parachutes. They get into the tunnel by jumping from the top of the lift hill and hoping for the best.

Oblivion used to have Mission Impossiblesque lasers cross crossing the pit, which you had to dodge as you plummeted into a real black hole. There used to be a wormhole which magically transported you back onto the final break fun.

Or so said the rumour I read in the comments section of a Digital Daniel video.
 
Towers Almanac took some photographs inside the tunnel

Their website is currently offline, but it was fortunately captured by the Wayback Machine Archive - see link below

(Credit to @Numaticjoe for bringing it to my attention in the post below)

The access railings look like stairs that gradually become steeper until they become a ladder

I had suggested adding a tunnel walk to the VIP track walk packages

If you've been around for a while you may know of the site Alton Towers Almanac, the guy who run it got to go down there for some pictures I'm pretty sure although, I think it was more of a one time thing for him to doccument the park on his site.
