I thought that,too.Must be a newspaper error,probably getting confused with the X-sector or "HEX" maybe?Anyone else shed any light on this ??

It's still Oblivion as far as I know - it's probably a caption error. It's in the X-Sector as we all know, but if you look at the supports they have words like X-Cite on some of them. The person captioning the picture probably knows sod all about coasters and just assumed it was the ride name.

I'm a journalist - it's my job to be cynical!

Checked it out yesterday ... the amusement arcade adjoining the Oblivion photo kiosk & shop has "X-CITE" in big metallic letters on the front!
