YouTubers stand on top of Oblivion after Alton Towers break-in

A YouTube video has been uploaded showing two men dancing at the top of the world's first vertical drop rollercoaster. A video was uploaded on Friday, January 6, which shows two men in black hoodies and balaclavas at the top of Oblivion, the tallest rollercoaster at Alton Towers.

The pair appear to explore the site at night and access areas which are off limits to members of the public. The 22-minute-long video was titled ‘Sneaking into Alton Towers and having a party’, reports Derbyshire Live.

According to Staffordshire police, it is believed that the pair also caused criminal damage during the break-in, which took place in the early hours of the same morning the video was uploaded. Towards the end of the video two men can be seen dancing on the top of the Oblivion rollercoaster but it is not clear how they got to the top of the ride or got down, with the incline and decline edited out.
