I would add one to Rita but not in the same place as what everyone else is saying, I'd add a corkscrew to the end just before it goes up the hill part, then an extra helix before it then turns into the brake run it would make it longer and more thrilling!

I believe there's a corkscrew on Manta at Sea World
I'd have loved for thirteen to have had a small inversion as one of my friends doesn't dare go on nemesis and the smiler because they have never been upside-down on a roller coaster. A smaller, less intimidating ride like the corkscrew could be the next level up to try encourage people to go on

I know Wikipedia classes it as a corkscrew, but I think that term is used very loosely. It's a bit like The Smiler's indoor inversion, it's debatable as to what it actually is.
Oblivion is a overhyped one trick poney that DESPERATELY needed a loop/corkscrew.... Maybe even a heatline loop ON TH DROP! Or a inclined loop, no AT rides have a inclined loop.
I was massivly dissapointed to see JUST a drop. Nemises is still Alton towers most well rounded ride, not a one trick poney like every ride that came after.
I haven't ridden on it in 5 years. It's boring and the tiny q proves it is really lacking lasting appeal. It's not a rollercoaster, it's a gimmick. I never got tired of the corkscrew, beast/black hole, nemesis... Oblivion lacks soul. Its just a hole hahaha
BTW I LOVE Smiler's straight out of the gate twist... Immense.
