Nemesis Front Row Seat on-ride HD POV Alton Towers

Ride in the front seat of Nemesis at Alton Towers in Staffordshire, England.
Watch in high definition.

[@MartyVanity]

Just to clear things up, i have seen a tone of comments saying that it needs painted and its rusty, the coaster is painted to look rusty.

[@jackbaker4459]

It's literally one of the smoothest coasters ever :3 I thought it was even smoother than Air! First invert coaster experience was Air, second Nemesis, at 10! Loved it! Had a lot of anxiety queuing for Oblivion but loved that too in the end! Since then I've braved Saw and vertical drops I fucking love! Still though, always will be a B&M Multi-Inverted suspended coaster fan, and it's thanks to Nemesis :3

[@ElementerChannel]

The black wolf 1. It wasn’t one of the first rides 2. It isn’t really rusty, it’s the paint

[@dog666]

It is not rust nor paint. It is an accumulation of human faeces! *haha*

[@oldturntables8215]

People are saying that. Clearly one can tell the rust look is for the ride. No park of this caliber would let a coaster go this long without painting it.

[@danielledewitt1]

cat Your an idiot.

[@eustacequinlank7418]

A group of us went to Alton Towers shortly after this ride was opened, it was raining heavily and probably out of season I can't remember, but there was barely anyone at the park. We must have ridden it 10 times or more in a row because you could simply get off and then run around and get back on. There was practically no waiting in line. Even though the weather was shitty, it was one of the best days I had as a teenager. Did the same thing with the Corkscrew too.

[@abigailwaller3615]

Man Beadle Exact thing happened to me .. Well kind of ... Yesterday I went alton towers and literally the longest wait I had to get on a ride was 15 mins ( I'm not even joking ! ) ... Me and my mum went on Nemisis twice in a row with about a 2 min wait to get on ! Tuesday is a great day to go !!!

[@liz9075]

+Abigail Waller I went on a Monday last week or so, and we hardly had to queue! I didn't know that I was tall enough to go on these rides but it was SO FUN. The line for the monorail made it seem really busy but it was hardly busy at all. The longest we had to queue for was about 2 MINUTES. (I might of had to wait longer but I can't remember 😂) Next time I go I'm going on Nemesis, Oblivion, Rita, Sonic Spinball, Air, Enterprise and other stuff because it was so good we got tickets to go again so we are going next week if possible. It was 97 QUID for just ME and my BROTHER, so £60 is a good deal for the whole family. IM SO EXCITED OMG

[@jferg0906]

Although probably a curse initially, that height limit seems to have caused some really awesome rides that do a lot of interaction with the ground.

[@visionist7]

John Ferguson begs the question though, how long can they keep pumping out innovative rides which don't rely on height? It's like a car; There's No Replacement For Displacement. Small engines can never be as satisfying as large ones no matter how much crazy turbo tech you throw at them. It's just not the same. Applies to coasters too. Height & first drop are the bread & butter of coaster IMO

[@asjadnaqvi3088]

not really...nemseis is pretty high up..its just dug in to the ground beacause theres a certain height rides can be above sea level in different places..which is why at thorpe park they cant have rides tall as king da ka because its near heathrow airport and why most rides are dig in the ground at alton... i mean look at oblivion half the drop is underground XD

[@tylerlovett6242]

Felice Graziano Maverick? Voyage? (Voyage is long and tall, but arguably the highlights of the ride come after the huge airtime hills, where everything from then on out is close to the ground), Lightning Run and Storm Chaser? Mystic Timbers? Thunderbird? Some of the world’s best rides aren’t that big and don’t have THAT impressive of a first drop...

Alton Towers sure does make the best of its rides with that stupid local height restriction!

[@sammyj5033]

Local height restriction? Please explain

[@KN-ko8ez]

+Sammy_J_2001 :D I should have clarified - local building height restrictions. Alton Towers is located in an area of conservation, which basically puts a restriction on the height of any ride or development in the park. It has been agreed with the local municipal council that nothing shall built above the tree line and if so, the development should be disguised to "blend in" (Rita).

[@SYRION_Music]

Do you know the Efteling, the Netherlands? That park has also a height restriction. Unfortunately they can't build higher than 30m :(

[@ryanbeet9217]

+Kyle Niquette If the park can't build coasters above tree height then how are they expected to be thrilling? I mean look at America they don't get restrictions on their coasters so why do us Brits get told?

[@Hoik_it]

coz its an enviromental conservation area, and it is still thrilling, trust me.

[@h4nn4h_n31]

I recently went to Alton Towers with my class from school, and we were split into 2 groups. The first group was people who wanted to go on roller coasters, the other were for people who didn't. I had never been on roller coasters before, so I was afraid to go into that group, but the other group went into the really slow and relaxing rides. We were all 11 years old at the time. I wanted to give it a try, so I went with the roller coaster group. It was 7 boys, me and 2 other girls which were really good friends of mine. The adult we were with, said which we wanted to go on first, the boys all shouted nemesis. I told one of the boys what nemesis was, and he knew me and the other girls looked scared, so he said, 'Its just straight with some twists and turns. Its not scary'. So we got there and went on the ride. Me and 3 other boys sat in the front seats. When the carriage in front of us left, I saw how slow it went. I was happy. Then I saw how it dropped and went so fast. Then I saw when we left the room, there were loops on this ride. I kept saying 'GET ME OFF, WHAT AM I DOING. I'M GONNA DIE' and when we went, I didn't scream, faint or close my eyes. It was so fun! I wanted to go on that for the rest of the day!

It's interesting watching this and the Nemesis Inferno POV for comparison. I've been on both rides but not at similar times in my life. Nemesis Inferno was my first proper roller coaster when I was 12 and my first ride on the original Nemesis came a few years later. It seems to me though that Nemesis Inferno didn't improve on its sister coaster. Nemesis truly is a roller coaster like no other.

To think this was only the 2nd inverted roller coaster ever constructed, and still one of the best. That roar is so iconic! You wouldn't know it from just looking, but the most intense part of the ride is actually that helix after the first corkscrew. The G-Force is absolutely insane!

If I'm not mistaken, Nemesis was the first inverted roller coaster in Europe, and still holds up incredibly well to this day, despite being almost 25 years old. Definitely my favourite roller coaster.

[@ZiPolishHammer]

***** If all you're judging the rides on is number of inversions then yes, the Smiler takes the cake. However I like to think that the pacing, theming, reliability, and capacity of an attraction all play a role in its success. But hey if you wanna wait in a 3 hour line to ride an overgrown Euro-Fighter, more power to ya.

[@llamagregson6147]

Technically it's an infinity coaster

[@owainwilliams2949]

ZiPolishHammer The smiled broke down while I was there, on that vertical bit. The people stuck there must have been terrified

[@witchychlo]

Owain Williams it probably didn’t fully break down, most likely option is that there was an over sensitive sensor on The ride which is what usually happens to the smiler. It’s perfectly safe though, all parks need to have emergency stops and tests or they shouldn’t be trusted. I just hate it when GP overreact to routine procedures though.

Apparently some environmental agency banned Alton Towers from using the red powder in the water! They do put it in during Scarefest

[@JammyBandStudios]

Chris Morris I just reckon that they don't wish to pay the money for the red dye powder. Over the winter when they do maintenance I would have thought that they drain the valleys to inspect the track and additionally the colour naturally runs out of the water, so they probably don't want to have to constantly re-colour it all the time.

best ride at alton towers,rode it 5 times and never got sick of it

[@danielledewitt1]

Hello there nemesis I'll be riding you this year.

[@lastofman2876]

Danielle Dewitt was it good?

[@rachaelmorton6739]

When I last went to Alton Towers, I went on Nemesis 5 times!

[@Jadey]

Nemesis is pretty cool but Air is my favourite.

[@rct3sweed]

Assume the position! Prepare for air!

[@Flooog]

Whaaaaaaaaaat?

[@rachel7440]

Same! XD

[@mattpayne4945]

Same !

[@Flooog]

HOW? AIR IS THE WORST THRILL RIDE THERE!

[@rhysj7724]

This thing never has any queues and it’s one of the most thrilling rollercoasters in the world.

[@witchychlo]

Yeah!!! I love how it's walk on, gets me more rides. I did my thirtieth the other day

[@MatthiasRosberg]

Waiting to get to front is well worth it.

[@musiccentralofficial465]

Front row every time 😄

[@JammyBandStudios]

MatthiasRosberg My favourite seat on this ride is very back, far right. The forces seem to be far more intense and also the near-miss effects are a lot better!

[@witchychlo]

I definitely prefer Back left, so much G’s coming at you.

[@katari91]

Prefer being at the back when you have a chain lift straight into a drop. Front's half way down the drop before the back gets off the chain.

[@iantaylor817]

Had the pleasure of riding this on the day it opened! Great ride

[@unikatie1540]

Going on this for like the 5th time tomorrow #ThanksMerlinAnualPass

[@ivyarsenic1513]

unikatie 15 hope u enjoyed ur self. I would have advised u (had I seen this text before u went) to not wear flip flops cuz I almost did my first time. So glad my fam talked me out of it!!!!

[@Rancord123]

unikatie 15 I went on the ride 16 times one day lol

[@Rancord123]

algor isak haha going to Alton Towers Thursday too which my friends!

[@bbg4566]

Man this was my first 1.4 ride and it's amazing , I will be sad when the day comes to remove it because I love it so much! Now-a-days I'm going on the smiler slot and you begin to forget about some of the other coasters to

[@witchychlo]

there's been rumours of it being re-tracked with new cars but the same layout when it gets too old as it's basically one of the most important parts of Alton Towers' history, and rightfully so

[@ivanafelton4622]

I have been on that it is WAY more scary then on cammera

[@caitlyn6303]

One of the best rides I've ever been on Nemesis is incredible!

[@MyersMusicUK]

Theming and the fact it's in a hole is the best thing about it. It's so short and is really poor compared to say Montu at Busch Gardens, Florida.

[@AXAVCH]

+Ben Myers Nemesis may not have the duration or the much inversions, these rides has the intensity and the theming as Montu at Bush gardens and trust me I ridden both the coasters

[@MyersMusicUK]

EXPLODING DIPERZ so have I. Nemesis has the sentimental edge I suppose, with me living in the UK and it being one of the first coasters I went on.

[@AXAVCH]

As for many other coasters in the USA they sacrifice theming for the intensity or they do the opposite. However few ride have good theming and Intensity working side-by-side and that's what Nemesis does

[@MyersMusicUK]

EXPLODING DIPERZ I wouldn't say this was that intense, Montu pulls more G's, well it felt that way to me, plus it still has the older style wheels on, so it still has its roar, where as nemesis as had its original sound suppressed somewhat over the years.

[@anch0vy961]

Ben Myers whenever I get off Nemesis I always have a headache. I went on Nemesis when I was 10 and Montu when I was about 13/14. Even though Montu is great, Nemesis has to pull more G'a

[@aarxnw]

The tiny gap you go under shocked me when I was standing in the line, it’s so close to the ground! so cool ☺️

[@tejasmurthy6022]

Better than Banshee and ties with montu as the best invert

[@stewdickson894]

Don't judge this ride by watching the video. this ride HAS to be ridden. The intensity of it, the near misses and the sound of this ride just make it what it is. I've ridden loads of coasters and this is still in my Top 3........Amazing!!

[@biuekachu3693]

Why can't Alton towers build above tree level?

[@danielledewitt1]

Jamaine Sparkes Bratty people who should try not living near a theme park.

[@danielledewitt1]

totallyunfocused So? If they had working brains they would have known to expect noise.

[@extrude22]

Because Alton Towers is located in the middle of the countryside and anything higher than tree level would spoil the view in the surrounding area.

[@extrude22]

@totallyunfocused Although some people live nearby, It's not in a residential area, it is pretty much in the middle of nowhere. The actual reason is just because roller coasters would spoil the look of the area.

[@danielledewitt1]

NoYourself Wrong. People complained about the noise, they were residents who hate people having fun.

[@elizabethrobertson542]

Went to Thorpe Park on 3rd and 4th May and went on everything at least 3 times lol loved it so much and I went on Nemesis Inferno and I thought it was brilliant hope I can go to Alton Towers and go on Nemesis because I think that it looks immense and I know it will be worth going on EVERYTHING at both Thorpe Park and Alton Tower because I am a thrill seeker through and through! I'm coming for you Alton Towers!!! :-)

[@jamespaterson7556]

Why does all of Alton towers rides look like they have never had a paint job? It's not that I don't like alton towers, it looks like a great park, it's just, it looks so old you know?

[@loki3523]

I can't speak for the others, but I'm pretty sure Nemesis looks rusted on purpose to add to the theming.

[@witchychlo]

SqueakyYT a lot of it is theming. This ride is meant to look rusty, because of the monster etc. Same with Rita, it’s been overtook by Dark Forest for 8 years now, so of course they painted it all rusty

[@Airtrooper719]

Went on Rita when it opened in 2005 and it was beautiful shiny red all over. Went on it yesterday and it was starting to look more rusty and grey in some parts. It's called ageing due to the weather :D

[@insertnamehere5660]

The point is they do get painted, the rustiness of Nemesis is part of the ride and also Rita got themed for the start of a season so it looks old

[@terrestrial9622]

nemesis is painted to look rusty

[@TonyKimtheamusementparkfan]

This is a fantastic B&M inverted coaster! Definitely top 20 worthy

[@musiccentralofficial465]

I was voted 9th best coaster in the world not just inverted coasters but EVERY coaster

[@TonyKimtheamusementparkfan]

MusicCentralOfficial Yeah that's awesome :) This B&M inverted coaster may be small, but it certainly gives a great ride, even after 21 years of operation.

[@Coaster_Universe]

MusicCentralOfficial You're a roller coaster?

[@hio5469]

Its like nemesis inferno in Thorpe park

[@CharlieilrahC]

No it's not. The only similarities are that they're both inverted coasters and they're both made by B&M.

[@hio5469]

I said its like

[@hio5469]

Charlie Turner​

[@CharlieilrahC]

That doesn't make them like.

[@Vim-Wolf]

Rode her near halloween back in the 90s. Managed to get on the front, in near darkness, was amazing. Great coaster.

[@medmac2112]

Best B&M invert, like if you agree.

[@azestical6566]

Best roller coaster I have rode, I’m definetly going to Alton towers again one day.

[@ebonysrandomuploads9807]

HOW CANT THEY DROP THE PHONE

[@yafay6607]

Either they have mad skills, or they have it mounted on their head/chest

[@Hoik_it]

go pro m8, head strap

[@AdamZacharyGaming]

Always remember, Ollie's phone. R.I.P

[@oreos3349]

Niamh Jones go watch the POV on colossus at thorpe and yall know

[@AdamZacharyGaming]

***** Colussus Thorpe Park POV.

[@jasonseto240]

air does go upside down: the twisting on to the back and twisting into the flying position is considered as one inversion while the 360 degree twist is also an inversion.

[@yafay6607]

It's not even extreme, it doesn't have that many inversions, it's not very fast, not very tall so it can't be that good? NOPE. I have no idea why this is so INTENSE

[@liamcrawford1634]

It is fast but makes the rider feel like it's going much more faster to scare people more as there are no motors or breaks on the track after the lift hill

[@yafay6607]

+Liam 12345 yeah just went on it 3 times today it was amazimg

[@liamcrawford1634]

+thealphawolf42069 cool nemesis normally has no queue so it's just go straight on

[@yafay6607]

+Liam 12345 yeah nothing had any queues, I got on the smiler with a 10 minute queue!

[@liamcrawford1634]

+thealphawolf42069 woah not very often you get on smiler within ten minuites !!

[@jameshanus3813]

Packs a punch for what looks like a really short height. Looks like a definite banger.

[@djtreeman1]

when i went on this my seat came loose on the big loop and i flew in the air then landed back in my seat again at the bottom, everyone cheered and i got free tickets for life

[@Highlander1518]

Me and a friend must’ve rode this about 15 times when we went way back in 2007. It was fantastic.

[@bodieofci5418]

25 years old and still an epic coaster.

[@fleuryoung9451]

Can’t believe I went on this today. ITS AMAZING!!!

[@North.Dreamer]

Oh my god I remember this ride! I went to alton towers for my 12th b-day, I nearly slipped out the ride on the first go (rain), so I recommend if your small, don't ride it when it's raining!

[@benzy9378]

I recommend that if you reach the minimum height requirement you will be perfectly safe regardless of the weather conditions.

[@jordanfilms5166]

Recommend this one. It's smooth and really fun. If u miss this one it's a shame
