Nemesis at Alton Towers, the maths behind the ride

Seeing through mathematics, jerk and jounce. Mid 90s

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

[@mattccross]

Soon be time for the new Nemesis to open!

[@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

[@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.

[@dougbriglmen716]

Douglas Codonas, Yankee Flyer Miami!😀 8:03

[@ChrisDunne]

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

[@mattccross]

Of course! 😂

[@ChrisDunne]

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?

[@mattccross]

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

[@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.

[@arranmelaugh5606]

What year Is this?

[@mattccross]

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.

[@ChrisDunne]

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

[@mattccross]

You'd think.

[@c00bmaster]

just a physics term
