You mean this?: https://secure.altontowersresort.com/we ... tId=175604

Its just a cardboard cut out that costs a fiver & will look completely naff when set up. It is only the car & drop, the rest of the ride are not included. If you want an Oblivion model, I reccomend Coaster Dynamix: http://www.coasterdynamix.com/index.php ... &Itemid=54

It is VERY expensive though, & can take months, even years to build a custom made model.

Hope Iv'e given you the right answer!

It does indeed exist and is on sale in Towers Trading, and probably some other shops around the park. Don't expect anything incredible though. It's literally a sheet of A4 card with some perforations and is just a basic drop track. Nothing fancy.

They're also available from altontowers.com

It's two A5 sheets of printed card. You press out the pieces, fold them and then glue them together. You get a base, the vertical part of the track and a ride car. There's no instructions, you have to figure it out for youself - it's not hard though.

It's for sale in Towers Trading for £2.

Oh good thanks guys its just because i got the nemesis model thingy and thought itd be like that ill still get it though.. Thanks guys!

I would reccommend buying it, and you can buy it from the Oblivion Shop for £2.

Don't expect anything amazing, as others have said you just get 2 A4 sheets of card, nothing amazing.

Glueing it can be quite a challenge, especially with a pritt stick.

I'll just include a close up of the model:

Well, that's how mine turned out anyway.

The people riding oblivion look like they're at a pub watching football

Was going to order this, but it looks like a lot of faff for a lot of meh

I expected it to be a bit more, for £5.50 online

I built Tower Bridge out of LEGO the other week and whilst doing so thought to myself, I'd definately buy a LEGO Alton Towers!

If that's how yours turned out, I imagine that's what they all turn out like, and they look NAFF
