[b]No^ you are wrong there

7th.
It was taken down because of increasing costs to maintain it. It was right off

into a lake, it sunk in and violated some property lines. People didn't want the

coaster to move into their yard, so they agreed to take it down. There were no

charges pressed like the Dumbasss at Alton Towers..................... Talon was the

Guinea pig for filling the supports with sand because they wanted to see if it helped

maintain the music from the Dentzel Carousel(I know my DP

History)

</div><!-

-QuoteEEnd-->

Actually Talon was filled with sand because the locals

didn't want the noise that comes with B&M rides. Same with Hydra.

Hercules was taken down for many reasons, the GP complained about it, the noise,

and increasing maintanance costs.

[nyteflyte]

lol how can you complain about rides? i bet that guy

who sued AT was scared of rides

[Stealthy350Z]

The main reason the GP complain are about roughness.

They want an enjoyable experience and they pay good money for it, they dont want a

poor ride. Why do you think Drachen Fire was dismantled and melted?

[Dakanektr]

I've been

told it was just too rough with elements, not smoothness.

[nyteflyte]

yeah that ride looked like it would pull some extreme g

forces, and ince its arrow i dont see how any1 could enjoy that ride

[Tyrant]

I think this coaster is going to be awsome, this pony

might do more than one trick

-Tyrant

[nyteflyte]

it definately seems liek a dive machine to me, the

wheels on the tracks are similar to oblivion! but lets just hope thers a couple

more elements! is there and annoucement for thsi coastsr the 27th?

[CostaKid]

Oblivion is definatly not being torn down. Alton

Towers is encouraging their guests to scream as loud as they can on Oblivion (Way to

go!). Also, one of the people's factories put out more noise than Oblivion.

Once again, Oblivion isn't beign torn down.

[b]Stupid Bastards who move

near a park, if they have a problem just get the hell out and move!
Here at

DP, Hercules' Helix was right next to someones backyard, but they didnt give a

damn...................

They lived there before Oblivion was built. I

don't remember whether it was before the park opened or not.

[Pleasureland Fan]

Yes, they started living there when Alton was owned

by John Broome and Corkscrew was a couple of years away..... but they tried to get

the fireworks cancelled this year, and next year, and the years after that- but the judge

threw the case out until the weeks AFTER this year's display! So the

fireworks are safe for one more year at least.

Oblivion is definitely here to

stay, I have no doubt that they can get rid of the noise problems by perhaps filling the

tracks with sand (can be done without taking the track apart, I am sure) and fitting the

rubber rollback cover to soften the clunk-clunk-clunk of the rollback arm, also toning

down the sound effects of the ride too. Screams aren't a problem-the court

official who visited the Roper's house said that there are very faint screams

which can't be heard above normal noises like birdsong and rustling trees.

[nyteflyte]

machineoblivion
