The Black Hole at Alton Towers

[iaegmooh]

Came across this website with pictures inside the Black Hole with the ride dismantled, It was sold to Brazil and the dome is now just used for storage.

thanks for sharing, i never got to go it on but waited at the entrance while my friend went on it, that must have been around 1994 to 1996

Very interesting. I loved that ride and went on it a number of times. From what I've seen on the internet, Alton Towers have submitted plans for a new coaster which they've codenamed SW7 to go in it's place ( http://www.themeparktourist.com/new...iled-alton-towers-new-sw7-roller-coaster-2013 )

I got my nose broken on the black hole, never get romantic on a rollercoaster because when it drops the girls head comes back and it hurts

Old news, but if alton towers went derelict, now that would be something.. epic!
