Man wanders in to Oblivion tunnel at Alton Towers

Posted Thursday, May 10, 2012 9:21 AM | Contributed by Rick_UK

The Oblivion ride at Alton Towers had to be closed after a man entered a prohibited area and needed rescuing. The ride was stopped and the surrounding area cordoned off while three fire crews rescued the man.

Well, at least he was rescued and not hit by a train.

How does one "wander" into a fenced off area?

For someone completely oblivious, he's in the right place...

(Sorry to jump on a two-week-old post; I've been just a little out of the loop.)

"Wandered into" just doesn't seem accurate when he really had to CLIMB down into that location...

At least my heartline was in the right place...
