The blade at the top of it's swing.

The Blade was originally located in Fantasy Land and was just a standard Pirate Ship. When Oblivion was being constructed it was moved and took the place of the Thunder Looper station. It was rethemed as a swinging blade and renamed (strangely!) Blade.

The blade is ride aimed at the younger audience. It sometimes opens early because the parents are using XRT to go on Nemesis but the children have nothing to do.

Tip: Go for the very ends, and watch your stomach.
