Riding Nemesis All Day At Alton Towers | Can I Beat Theme Park Worldwide?

Today has been a LONG day riding nemesis all day at Alton Towers as I try to beat the Theme Park Worldwide Nemesis Challenge recorded for Nemmy's 25th Anniversary back in 2019. Welcome to this insane Nemesis all day challenge!
After an E-Stop, heavy weather conditions nearly closing the ride, reducing the number of trains operating now and again and even my own chronic fatigue threatening to halt proceedings, we managed to persevere from 10am until 4pm.
I really hope you guys enjoyed this rollercoaster marathon.
With Shawn staying for the late-night riding I really had to run around and as far as spending time creating quality content, well, that thought didn't even cross my mind so I hope you can appreciate and enjoy the madness regardless.
Watch Shawn's Original Alton Towers Nemesis Challenge here - kzbin.info/www/bejne/p4eYhJ-Kd9ianNk
I also want to deeply thank the Alton Towers staff who allowed me the couple extra re-rides and especially to Glenn who knew what my target to hit was all day and spoke to the ride ops to let me stay on the ride after closing until it was hit. Legend!
I also want to give a shout-out to Jay, to the Scottish man and his family and to the blue poncho tribe (we’re clearly not on first name basis) who did a few re-rides with me.
It was a strange feeling leaving Forbidden Valley at Alton Towers at the end of the day as I hadn't been anywhere else in the park all day!
If the rumours are true and Nemesis does get an overhaul and is out for a season soon it's safe to say I've certainly got my rides worth out of it in the 2021 season!

This should become a thing now, Shaun you need to try and beat 64 in one standard operating day without extend time.

@@LiftHillsandThrills yeap thats the one. Shawn you think you can beat 64 in a normal operating day?

[@jasonfinch4696]

Can we all show some love for Sean and this challenge what an absolute legend he is and smashed it... it was an honour to ride nemesis with you threw out the day. Also big up to glen who after nemesis closed to the public let us go around again . You beat Shaun Sambrook and he had an extra 3 hours as nemesis was open till 7pm on her birthday.

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

Absolutely mate, lovely to meet you! I had messages from people thinking I’d known you for years instead of that same morning. You kept me going buddy, appreciate it! 👊🏻

[@kevinmarsden6107]

You actually sat next to me too a few weeks back, I was in the black Smiler hoodie. You’d spotted me around the Smiler waiting for it to open. Think you lapped nemmy until closing when I left you. Good to meet you mate

[@jasonfinch4696]

I remember you mate, we was waiting for the smiler to open and it finally did then caught up with you on nemesis in the last hour, lapping nemesis in the last hour is tridtion for me 👍

[@arcticbari8237]

Oh wow, well done! I couldn't believe you pulled that off with 64. Take that Theme Park Worldwide!

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

Haha I posted an Instagram status saying I want 64 just for a laugh and ended up getting exactly 64 aha. Charlotte sent me a message half-way through the challenge, ever so lovely. Shawn would have absolutely battered me if the day he went for Late night riding was just that bit quieter

This is the day we were there how did we not see you? We got a ride at the end of the day at the front, just us! We then did laps on Wicker Man which was crazy in the bucketing rain 😂 we got 6 rides on that. I’ve never ever seen the park so quiet as it was that day! Well done! 👏

Oh wow I was scared I didn’t get the notification for the video today. Just seen you’ve edited this today as well. Dedication Sean I love it. Can’t wait to give this a watch. Without a doubt I’m guessing like me nemesis better than inferno?

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

What’s Inferno? 😏 aha I didn’t get bored all day! I got bored after 2 rides on Inferno, that says all I need to know in my mind

[@JamesMusicCovers]

@@LiftHillsandThrills it’s mental how many you got done. The fact that nemesis usually has a much shorter queue line to other coasters baffles me. On a day like that I’d just do laps on it (maybe not as many as you) but a good few and the fact people say inferno is better is just not right. Nemesis is the original and it may not be the world’s most intense ride experience but it’s certainly up there

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

@@JamesMusicCovers Yeah a few did today, Scottish family and the blue poncho crew did a few re-rides (hence seeing the same trainers and people in some extra ride shots) it was the perfect time to do it then the heavens opened and the queue suddenly got longer. What’s that about?! 😂

Nice one mate !!!!!! Glad you did it !!!!!!

[@AirtimeProductions]

This is insane!!! And for anyone who has ridden an invert knows it drains you and after that many rides I’m surprised your still walking

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

I had a few wobbly moments. It was the run from exit to entrance towards the end of the day that did me in haha but absolutely agree, I felt as though I’d done a hard days work after 4pm 🤣 zero energy. Nothing some egg and chips couldn’t sort out when I got home! 🤤

[@CoasterB]

Yeah I think it was a bank holiday or similar on Shawns so the queues would have been in the 10-15 minute range more often than a walk on I’d imagine.

When I went to Thorpe park one day I went on like 30 rides but it wasn’t on one coaster I did practically 4 to 7 of each

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

I love days like that!

[@si247z]

Great vid I don’t know if I’d ever do this ahaha!

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

Haha thanks for watching!

[@killezj1187]

My Birthday this was published and my favourite ride!!

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

You have good taste! I hope you had a wonderful birthday 🎂

[@twistedcoasters1533]

Honestly I would do this if everything else had a big queue

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

The fact it was so empty was perfect, the Scottish family, blue poncho parade and a few others were doing plenty of rerides yesterday

[@EmilyDoesAccessAllAreas]

When the guy got His phone out on the ride for the e stop 😂😂muppet 😂😂

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

He cost me a lap!! Fuming hahah

[@ericao5790]

This is awesome. I wish they would have let you stay on though. Makes no sense if there is no line. Fill them seats!

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

Thanks and I agree! More laps!

[@teddysoul85]

Most likely because of covid i assume

[@ThemeParksDirect]

Love this! Want to try something similar in the future, Love Nemesis! (By the way its me TPA Vlogs, got a new channel name!) :)

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

Thanks bud!

[@dragonie]

I’ve always wanted to do that lool but I wonder how would you do with colossus at Thorpe 👀

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

Well now I’ve beaten TPW it’s only fair I try and beat Silkstone’s total too 😂 🏆

[@samuelwilliams1944]

well done mate amazing can't believe that.

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

Me either buddy that last hour or two I was giving up hope especially with the rain somehow getting longer queues but then it emptied completely. I got VERY lucky

[@samuelwilliams1944]

@@LiftHillsandThrills it's amazing how you could just ride the same ride over and over and over and still be determined to carry on and to put the icing on top of the cake it tipped it down.

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

@@samuelwilliams1944 I wasn’t stopping until they closed and even when they closed they let me carry on for a victory lap 😂

[@royalrecordings4307]

Good effort!!! 👍 must be a park record surely

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

I dunno about that man, I’m sure there’s some Batman type lurking in the shadows knowing they’ve smashed out more laps in a day haha after seeing that guy who was on the Big Dipper for 3 months you just never know!

[@davidjellis]

I am Batman LOL - I rode it 64 times in a day about eight years ago - never knew it was a record really, I just considered my day out at Alton Towers as just a bit odd - back when I did it they had single rider queue available so I was getting off the train, exiting the station, and usually getting back on the same train - I really miss SRQ and indeed haven't been to the Towers since they removed it from Nemesis. Talking about the Big Dipper...I rode with Richard Rodrigues as part of his marathon at Blackpool in 2000...I just did 2000 minutes compared to his 2000 hours, but riding all night non-stop was such a unique experience (if a little wet and uncomfortable) - well done in sharing this weird record!

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

@@davidjellis Batman!! It’s so lovely to meet you! That’s such a cool story, Even 2000 minutes is insane, how did your body acclimatise? I can’t comprehend just how long that man stayed on that ride, it’s insanity. I have a feeling some more press want to run the story so If I speak to anyone new and they don’t just share the SOT Live article I’ll mention your name!

[@davidjellis]

@@LiftHillsandThrills That very kind of you Sean, thanks. I don't have any video evidence of my 64 rides, but it was an amazing day out. The Big Dipper experience was just crazy - I loved the daytime riding (there were four of us doing it as a charity fundraiser) and we were allowed to eat and make calls on the ride, and also rode with the lapbar tied in the up position! Night time however it rained and the tarpaulin over my seat leaked so it was a rough and wet night...I got to know and feel every bump on that ride but it was really great fun. I remain good friends with Mr Rodrigues and hope to meet up with him if he manages to get across to the UK again.

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

@@davidjellis It’s no problem man it’s only fair! How did you even get sleep?!

At the moment I’m too scared to ride it even once. I hope that I can smash my fear next time I go to alton towers!

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

I hope so too buddy!

[@bennickss]

@@LiftHillsandThrills going to Blackpool pleasure beach sometime in April, hopefully with big one, icon and revolution under my belt I could overcome my fear of this

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

@@bennickss If you can do Big One or even Infusion. Nemesis will be a walk in the park after that!

@@LiftHillsandThrills Going to Towers this sunday. Get ready Nemesis, I’m coming for you.

[@James-zv2ho]

Wow mate 🏆🏆🏆

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

Thank you man. I couldn’t believe how close I was getting to Shawn’s total but he clearly went on a busier day so when I told the ride ops and they give me that extra lap, such an insane feeling. No two rides were ever the same which is weird to say but it kept me going just like Wicker Man felt different and got faster throughout the day etc

[@grahambriggsadventuredays]

Well done on your 64 rides
