[@zachbladen]

Yes that would be amazing!

I haven't been to Alton Towers since May, and seeing you standing in front of that Nemesis sign with that music in the background honestly fills me with all the excitement of being there. 😂 That park has more atmosphere than any other in the UK.

I have to say the fact you achieved this feat in such dreadful conditions and managed to meet up with jw is awesome 😎 I may not be able to get to the parks you visit, but seeing you go to them and sharing your experiences is amazing. It won’t be long before you’re the number 1 theme park channel on you tube, you totally deserve it mate.

A M to be fair. I think this is the only British ride that competes with the big international coasters. I’ve never seen a better looking coaster.

[@mumdad4889]

Stegosaurus saw and the big one, also a few of the rides at paulton’s park. Oblivion is also great

I love when parks keep the details for their old rides. 25 years and still has the audio going and the theming looking great. I rode nemesis for the first time in June after 25 years of wanting to and it was amazing.

[@littel-nq3no]

For God's sake I went today. Oh well. I didn't ride on nemesis we just didn't get to that end of the park. We did the dungeons loved it. Went on spin ball wizzer twice, rita, thirteen, runaway minetrain, kongo river rapids and wicker man. Loved them. We just didn't have enough time and because we live so far away we wanted to get on the road at 6:30 so oh well. Loved it. First time since I was like 7 to go.

In 1992 when I was 12 years old I rode montazumas revenge at Knott's Berry farm 15 times in a row. It was a big coaster in those days and it's amazing to see how far we've come for coasters. Also not a coaster but I marathoned the octopus as a kid some 20 times in a row without leaving the ride and about an hour later got very sick. Only time any ride has ever made me lose my lunch. Anyway Shawn thanks for all the great videos. Big fan of the channel from Portland Oregon

What a great video! I could ride her all day if I had the chance. I rode her again today for the first time in 16 years but she's running as smooth as she did when I first rode her in 1994! I have a bit of an emotional connection to Nemesis as she was the first roller coaster I ever rode! So many happy memories and the history and overall ride experience is very special! I hope she continues to thrill everyone for a long time! Bumped into Alex right at the end of the day for nemesis' final run!

12:08 Bro predicted the entire future of nemesis correctly XD

[@gavinshowell1692]

Congrats Shawn on 62 rides on Nemesis in just 1 day. That’s a massive achievement in my opinion because even though it’s 25 years old and still going incredibly strong it’s extremely popular with normally long queues. I went to Alton Towers the once (one of many many times) and manage to ride Nemesis and got 6 rides on it in 30 minutes with a walk on queue. And my head was hurting with a massive headache so i had to stop then. But even then the ride was still walk-on. But i have to fully admit it’s a fantastic ride built by a brilliant ride manufacturer B&M, and also looks great again with a recent full refurbishment. She is definitely a beauty to look at and ride.

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thank you!

[@laurahutchinson8594]

Well done! You truly are a Alton towers legend! Iv actually done the same challenge but on the smiler me and cousin Vaughan went on 15 times in 4hrs one after the other no breaks, by that point though we was feeling it as it’s not as smooth as when it first opened. I really appreciate your videos I’ve learnt a lot about Alton towers since watching you. Can’t wait for scarefest this year with the Terror of the towers coming back! Eeeek hope you will be doing a video for that.
