Before You Ride... Nemesis at Alton Towers

Alton Towers: We'll create the most iconic alien in theme park history Also Alton Towers: But we'll close down it's shop and tuck a few naff shirts and bears into Galactica's store. I should be able to buy models of Nemesis (including the track.) Little alien eggs. A plush Nemesis. A costume for pets. See all that stuff they've got for Wicker Man? Nemesis deserves that too.

@Benjamin McCann true but nemesis is awesome also the corrected is right

I have only ridden Nemesis twice, but times in July 2002. My first ride was in the back row. To be honest, I was underwhelmed. The forces were alright but I realized I had fallen into the hype for the ride (for years) and it simply wasn't what I thought it would be. On the very next day, I decided to go for a front seat ride. Much, much better. While I still don't think of the ride as the most intense inverted coaster I had ridden, the visuals were incredible and I finally realized why so many people hype the ride. It's a marvel! Great video. Hopefully someday I will visit Alton again. It's been way too long since I have gone to England.

[@ScrewyLoops]

I absolutely agree! 👍 Front seat is the way to go on Nemesis, and it's nowhere near as intense as people make it out to be overall. Unless you do it at night on the back! Makes you see stars 😉👍 Thanks too, that means a lot ☺️

[@dingo137]

Which inverts would you say are more intense?

[@SeanFlaharty]

@@dingo137 I usually am not one for comparing rides but Montu and the Batman clones I find are incredibly intense.

[@dingo137]

@@SeanFlaharty Those are good, though personally I still prefer Nemesis. Each to their own though. I'm hoping to get to Phantasialand to ride Black Mamba (and Taron and FLY) at some point, which from what I can see has similar terrain interactions.

Went on Nemesis for the first time last week. Was there with three of my mates so we had a row to ourselves. I was absolutely horrified so me, being the stereotype I am, I thought going on the 6th row for the first time wouldn’t be so bad, but was I wrong! I was contemplating my life decision s on the first incline, but as soon as it started I was loving it. It’s my new favourite ride! This video described it extremely well so if anybody is planning on going to Alton towers, more specifically nemesis, this video describes it perfectly! Great vid mate 👍

[@ArchonRahal]

Love the video. I live in Staffordshire so i'm luckily able to make the trip every year and always make sure I get on to Nemesis. While it's sadly no longer the most intense Rollercoaster in the world (The Smiler is more intense in the same park!), it's aged fantastically well for something 25 years young, and still holds up as one of the UK's best Rollercoasters today.

[@ScrewyLoops]

[@FortQuinn]

I remember my first time on nemesis. Me and my brother were really worried because it said it was the most intense ride experience. We planned to go nearer to the front so it wasn't so intense, we then get asked if we can sit at the very back for some reason I can't remember, and it we were WAY too awkward to say no so we had no choice, so we got the very back seat and it was amazing, the second we started going down the first drop, all our anxiety left completely as we just started enjoying the near misses and it was an amazing ride experience!

[@cbenn9458]

Nemesis is amazing love it

[@DigitalDan]

Great video as per usual man 👍🏻 Nemesis is honestly such an amazing ride and 100% one of the UK's best! 🎢

[@ScrewyLoops]

Thanks mate! 😁👍 And it sure is 👌

[@rich7447]

You need some better coasters in the UK. I'm originally from Nottingham which is the only reason that I made it to AT. Nemesis is a good ride, but nothing all that special. It can't really compete against rides like Maverick, Storm Runner, Fury, Intimidator, Leviathan, Skyrush or a dozen other coasters in Easern North America alone. I thought it felt more like Rock n'Roller coaster because you can't really see what is coming.

[@chairleg1111]

Nemesis is still number one in the UK. It doesn't let up throughout the entire layout, its roar is intimidating and iconic and the terrain work is outstanding. 25 years and still cannot be beat. Icon just doesn't do nearly enough to dethrone this beauty

[@rich7447]

I was disappointed with Nemesis when I rode it 4 years ago. I had heard so much about how good it was and, for me, it was about as good as Great Bear (gets very little mention). I'm going to be over in the UK agains this winter so I think it deserves another chance. For now it is in my top 30, maybe 40 coasters.

[@slushosaur]

Have you ever tried riding it at night on the Alton Towers Halloween scarefest? The ominous redish pink glowing lights add so much atmosphere and the ride itself feels so much more intense in the dark! Personally i thinks it's a coaster that's wore its age gracefully and actually looks better for it. It used to be a lot more slick and shiny, with chrome rails, magenta oozing water and bright day glow pink ride station. I'm glad with age its lost the 90's Lazerquest feel and the beaten up "rusted" station doesn't look as much like a 70's Dr Who monster XD

[@ScrewyLoops]

Absolutely love Nemesis during Scarefest! Always a highlight 🙂👍 And I completely agree!

[@Lololsans]

last week was the first time I had ridden a rollercoaster. Went to Alton Towers and went from Thirteen to Rita to Galactica and ended with Nemesis. Insanely fun, and this ride topped it off. Loved every second and has made me want to go on many coasters in the future.

That bin at the start of the queue. Everyone gets lost. You know the one if you've been on it.

[@TWGuardian]

I will indeed always remember my first ride on Nemesis. I went to Alton Towers for the first time a few months ago, as a coaster newbie. Started off with Wicker Man, then Galactica, and then Nemesis. I was so nervous slowly homing in on the station, and when we got to the train, it was full pit-of-the-stomach dread. One of the ride operators noticed and came over, and the friend I was with (a seasoned coaster veteran) explained that I was still new to coasters so I was feeling anxious. The ride operator said that I could sit down and try the restraints and then decide if I feel safe enough. So I sat down, strapped myself in, and finally cut the knot and decided to just do it. One of the best decisions I almost didn't make. I came out of Nemesis wanting to go right back on it! I'll be going back soon just to ride it again before it closes for a re-tracking. What an incredible thing.

[@gypsymuffinABZ]

My top coaster in the UK, 2nd overall. Love it. My favourite element is the downwards helix.

[@rich7447]

I would put it in the top 5 of B&M inverted coasters. It's behind Alpengeist, Silver Buller, Afterburn and it would be a toss up between Nemesis and Great Bear for 4th place.

Easily my favourite coaster ever. As you’ll know (as I commented about it here) I used to be petrified of the thing. First time I rode it was in the front row, and as soon as I got onto the brakerun, my first words were “I want to do that again”. I came back to Towers 2 days later with school and rode it in the back row. Jesus Christ, the whip on the second corkscrew. Felt like it was trying to rip my legs off.

[@Mojomay]

This is an amazing ride! One of the first ever coasters I rode, (I was too scared to ride them as a kid). I adore it and cannot wait to ride this again soon. I have a disability so my first ride was on the very back row, which was brilliant! Awesome video. Hyped me up to ride it again ASAP!

[@ScrewyLoops]

Thank you so much! ☺️👍 It is an amazing ride, I can't wait to go on it again too!

[@screwloose88x]

Simply the best for many reasons, its been there ever since i been tall enough to ride it, and it still rides just as good now as it did 20years ago. Its nearly always got a great que time. Often wickerman and the smiler have 45mins+ lines while nemesis is nearly always below 20mins. The only problem id say and its very minor is that the last corkscrew can be abit of a head basher, especially when its been running all day or abit wet. Every time i go to towers i ride it atleast 10times.

[@CharlotteWeb100]

Jeez is this really 25yrs old? I rode this when it first opened and again just this summer with my two now adult kids. It remains one of the best, most comfortable roller coasters I've ever ridden. Kids agreed and said it was far more relaxing and comfy than they'd expected or experienced on other rides at the park. As long as you keep your head up and back from the first drop it's actually so comfy it's almost relaxing to just ride out the barrel rolls and loops none of which you're even aware of in a frightening way. We've stayed over at the hotel as part of a package which is great in that you're given early access to the park for an hour or so before opening to the public. Just don't make the mistake some have and have a heavy breakfast first. Other park guests won't appreciate you hurling up by the platform as they get seated!

[@zartig09]

I had noticed several of the extended queues areas but last weekend I was put into a section I hadn’t realised was a queue before. I would love a chance to go round a complete queue for every ride as they have little things locked off at times and better views of the ride and park.

The question is, when Nemesis reaches the end of its service life will Towers build a new ride or just replace the track and trains??

[@ChloeClements34]

No coaster will ever reach the end of its service life, unless the budget cuts mean they let it rot then decide not to invest or the location becomes so badly needed they need it for something else. However Nemesis has had footers, track and various other parts replaced constantly over the years so I am hopeful it will never reach that corporate death that is "End of service Life".

Nemesis is a towers classic it's still.smooth
