Nemesis at Alton Towers, the maths behind the ride

[@justinapay844]

Can’t believe you have this video, I recorded this on VHS when I was younger, I was obsessed with Alton Towers. I lost the tape a long time ago and didn’t think I’d ever see this again.

[@CalebMontgomery-oe8sn]

im obsessed with towers, family never gets it tho

[@smith9808]

Great classic footage of Nemesis here. Hard to believe how fast nearly 30 years has gone by. 😢

[@matts80s90s]

Soon be time for the new Nemesis to open!

[@harryr498]

2:07 Walter White?!

[@imik3y]

Just about the write the exact same thing 😂

[@potatogirlcultist19]

This is actually what happened before the famous Walter White fainting scene. He just couldn't handle Nemesis.

so are the rotary rides with the removable floor still allowed, I guess the inertia would keep people safe if there was a power failure?

[@matts80s90s]

I guess you'd slowly slide down to the floor?

[@twistedcoasters1533]

Ok so I’ve done one of those, and they are still allowed. The ride slowly comes to a stop with the floor down and you do just slide down. Guess the same would happen if their was a failure

[@ChrisDunne]

I'm sure he looks at everyone of the bolts!

[@matts80s90s]

Of course! 😂

[@xsm5525]

that's a jet star 1. what's happened with all the jet stars!? once you couldn't go anywhere without seeing one!

[@Amusementnational]

If ur the coaster at Wicksteed Park then I'm sorry but it's no jet star. That's a pinfarri. If ur on about the one at alton in forbidden valley then again I'm sorry to tell u that ain't no jet star 1. That's a jet star 3 or a jumbo jet. The black hole was a jet star 2.

What year Is this?

[@matts80s90s]

I think it would've been in the 1990s, but I don't have a date.

[@Deltic55-mw4bo]

between '94 and '96, thunderlooper's still there.

[@ajs41]

Probably 1994 when the ride opened.

[@stevebrown1974]

The date at the end of the credits is 1995, so I suspect it was filmed in 1994 or early in the season of 1995.

[@ChrisDunne]

so rate of acceleration change = jerk seems an American term?

[@matts80s90s]

You'd think.

[@c00bmaster]

just a physics term
