In comparison to the camp Forbidden Valley, X-Sector the second 'thrill' themed area which takes itself too seriously and depends on psychology as well as vaguely dark, elusive, secret government facility theming in order to frighten guests. Oblivion counts in this as one of Alton Tower's most imposing roller coasters, alongside The Beastie, often making queues shorter rather than bigger.
The area was formerly The Ingestre Centre (note: It wasn't actually a centre) and used to house a Pirate Ship, Cine2000 and Dinosaur World, all of which never actually did much.
Then in 1984 the area was made into Fantasy World (note: It wasn't actually a 'world') when The Black Hole came along to frighten the bejeezus out of people like Phillip Schofield.
And then in 1997, something was happening blah blah blah, John Wardley was running around the site etc, built a big hole and stuck Oblivion there in 1998. People liked it.
