That's depressing. I just... urgh... Jesus, Alton...
As for Oblivion, you can only ride it for the first time once, you'll never experience that level of terror again, but it doesn't mean I never get a surge of adrenaline when the track disappears from view, and the drop will never not give me a massive kick. There's nothing that can come to close to the thrill or the bang-per-buck that Oblivion gives. Plus it's by far the best themed ride in the country, it may not be the boldest or most obvious, but everything about it is designed to add to the effect, you have to admire the vision and craft that went in to creating something with such level of detail.
It's in a seriously bad state, it needs repainting, cleaning and a lot of TLC, it's pathetic the state it's now in. I've no idea why they've allowed the two most famous rides in the park, if not the country alongside PMBO, get in to such a bad state, but it needs fixing fast, and the longer they leave it, they worse the rides will look and function, the more it will cost to put right and the more money they will lose from guests being dissatisfied.
We all thought the vote thing and Sub Terra would see Nemesis get fixed, but we were wrong (I see they've given up on colouring the water now), all they did was repaint the gun thing, so I've no hopes SW7 will result in any improvements to the X Sector area at all.
