i bow down to this man. what a legend

legend

How can he be so calm on oblivion, it was the only ride I have every truly been scared on. I was stammering like crazy, my sister asked me if I was scared and it took me to the top of the lift to finish the word!

He's so calm! 'oh I'm only falling into a 180 foot drop into the ground...'

I know I am like 12 years late but I doubt anything is smoother than The Swarm

Great video 😁

This was yesterday on tv!

Going 2 Alton Towers nxt week and this video has really carmed me down! Cant wait! =o)

that guy is a legend!

Oblivion and air oh my best rides at alton towers hope to them soon

People like John Wardley are what you call secret stars and millionaires. A very clever man, well done John !!!!

Hope to see John Wardley for the opening day of Saw at thorpe. He's Legend.

It was the first -vertical- drop when it was built, almost ten years ago yes.

notice at 0.03, Oblvion is black, this was its orignal colour looks way better than it does now

oblivion was my first ever roller coaster, and i was shitting my self

too right!

Yes.

Fab! Wish Nemesis was in this clip :(

i liked air it is a very comfortable ride

johnny is awesome

this was on the program ultimate thrill rides which i taped becos it is a very good show and im a coaster freak so :D

AIR IS AMAZING! at breaking down.. x3

Rush and Detonator and Stealth are good examples

I think that John Wardley's screaming, is just talking about things in detail.

true!

I remember seeing this on Five ages ago! What was the show called?

lol all the rides are going really fast, and hes just sitting there,talking calmly as ever about the science behaind them! especialy on enterprise.

He's great! -funny how he isn't screaming or anything on any of those rides- mind you, if it was Nemesis...

John Wardley's word is law. But... birds don't go flying upside down or do barrel rolls. The guy below is right about oblivion. I've only been to alton towers once for six hours with my mates, with ordinary tickets, and spent half our time finding our group and waiting for air, so i didn't go on the ride. And to make this love worse, i have moved to france and there will be a 10 percent chance i'll return and 1percent with priority tickets.

Im going to alton towers next week and I love rides but I felt scared for that guy on Oblivion. Im defo not going on that!

Oblivion is 180ft yes. Its about 80ft above ground and 100ft underground

Is this the first alton towers video

@TheerIsEre Especially Oblivion -- i actually wet myself on that

its possible. God forbid it should happen

How could he not scream on Any of them rides. Or Just like forget what he is saying. I was crapping my self on all those rides, great feeling though.

shiekra is awesome best ride on planet then the hulk at universal florida

The narrator sounds like Mr Dufrais off fonejacker

first virticle drop actually

Have you actually been on all three? Griffon and Sheikra are twice as tall as oblivion, and they actually have a vertical drop unlike oblivion.

Who was that aimed at? no one said that it wasnt...

this is not a lie jon wardly has retired from the tussasds group :'(

Lol, he's as cool as a cucumber.

Is the narrator Tiff Needell?

he made this he would know! lol

Oblivion was designed by Joe King. :) He owns alton towers

"Oblivion is the first *Drop* Coaster in the world." What?

nemesis is the best ride at AT.

y dosn't he talk about nemesis and also the narator is a dush when he is talking about oblivion he says its the first drop roller coaster so hang on what do all the other roller coasters do XD

Im not saying oblivion isnt scary! And i will never say it isnt until i have ridden it to know. All I am saying is that you really cant say a ride is better than another if you have only been on one of them. For all i know, Oblivion may be better, or it may not.

shiekra and griffon are alot better thn rides at alton towers cos they r tht gd tht there is no competition to them but the rides at alton towers like air nemesis and oblivion r still awesome but not as gd as 1s in florida

Wardley has quite possibly the most annoying voice in the world.
