Instead of a New Ride - Would they ever update/upgrade an old one?

Turning Oblivion backwards would completely ruin the original concept and anticipation. Losing the element of being able to see that you're about to drop into a great big hole in the ground would destroy the whole purpose of the ride for what would be an unnecessary gimmick.
If there's any ride that needs to be updated/upgraded then it's Charlie/The Flume. Oblivion is fine as it is.

People take things way too serious!

Oh no it ruins the whole don't look down!
Get over it!

It's not taking things too seriously. It would, in my opinion, just be a pointless gimmick to a ride that does not need a pointless gimmick! It would also cost more than it's worth with re-configuring the shuttles and of course figuring a way to get the ORP cameras to work. There are far more pressing issues at Alton Towers.
I am 99% sure it will never happen anyway.

I think it would be nice if they upgraded the televisions in the queue for Oblivion with some bigger ones and make a new, better queue video. Maybe even add some lights in the tunnel like Oblivion The Black Hole
make it so you don't hear the dispatch video whilst you are in the lord of light video area (i think its that one, could be the psychological one). Ruins the effect abit
i think optional vr headsets (cant think where i got that idea
) for the rollercoasters would be good, especially RMT or 13

Th13teen with VR headsets sounds like an amazing idea! You could have it look like vines are growing over the track as you are going aroundmake it so you don't hear the dispatch video whilst you are in the lord of light video area (i think its that one, could be the psychological one). Ruins the effect abit
i think optional vr headsets (cant think where i got that idea
I think all the rides would be better with optional be headsets (oblivion like the advert, air without the car park, sonic looking like an actual sonic game...)
As long as they were optional, it would be really good.

oblivion... I think if they could obscure the tunnel entrance with something, Oh I don't know, maybe some kind of mist or something..

To be honest a park on the size,scale and position should really be doing general small upgrades each season to improve the park and ride experiences.
As a leading themepark in Europe, these small changes at the park should be paramount regardless of it being a high or low investment season as small changes and upkeep make the difference between a good park and a great park to visit.

Completely agree... Not be left to look disused. Everything should look good!
