v EPIC FAIL! xD The track is 'dirty' and 'rusty' to give it a more scary look.

right... now nemesis was really good, and the ride overall was fun, but they seriously need to clear her up a bit! The tracks are grimy and rusty, and the bone station is nearly brown now, so they could bring out the silver paint on a winter break. I was pretty sure it was Tom Baker reading the story... was it?

I didnt enjoy nemesis inferno(thorpe park) and wasnt expecting to enjoy nemesis either but what a fantastic ride!, it has none stop thrills from start to finish and definately owns the proclaimed 'X-Factor'

Thanks, Alexdude! I also noticed that Pagey has no posts on the forums. I bet he just signed up so he can troll the comments to offend UK members.

the only reason why people think USA rides are better than UK rides is because they cant be the same. The UK have very strict planning laws, where as the USA dosent.
The UK have more twisted, shorter , steaper roller coasters and more themed where as America has long sweaping drops and longer rides

One of my favourite coasters and definitely my favourite at Alton. It's a brilliant ride.

the funny thing is, UK or USA does not make the rides, most of them are built by Switzerland. B&M and Intamin are both from that country, the location of the rides is meaningless in terms of what country builds best rides, as it is clearly Switzerland.

"the uk isnt really in the competition of the best rides its so crap. USA all the way for coasters"
Pagey, It's about time you stopped trolling, caught the train back to Spamalot, and stayed there to rot.

Ah, what a classic this is! Definitely one of Alton Towers' Iconic Rides. I went on it Three times in a row last time I went!
Also, I'm really starting to hate pagey@magicmountain. I mean, claiming Nemesis is crap compared to All-American Coasters? What the Hell is Wrong with Him?!

it has an 104ft drop though , to pagey@magicmountain , aslo , it is , because it has constant g force , also , whats your problem , england , starts with a new coaster design and america then makes it bigger , with new elements , because they have places in the middle of no where , with no planning regs , also , its not 60 ft , its 70ft

when i first saw nemesis i was like "thats huge compared to the pictures!" i could hear the track rumbling and the noise of the music fumbling in the background. It was a shame i didnt go on it but the queue line was abit long and im a first-timer thrillseeker!!! I'm gonna start off with the rides like air and rita and if i like them then i might check out nemesis and oblivion. My brother seemed to like obliion but he'll go on anything...

Best ride at AT! went last sunday and blew me away! Went front row everytime and was just amazing. The scenery is awesome and the que line gives a full view of nemesis so first timers get very nervous. All in all it was brilliant , wasn't scary at all , infact if anything it was just really good fun. I love the speed of it and great footchoppers. Little bit rough on the last corkscrew , hurt my ear but other than that the inversions are butter smooth , and my favourite elements were the first helix , zero g roll and the loop! Awesome ride , best ride at alton by far! 10/10

Amazin ride, so what if the parks got 60ft height limit, this coaster proves it dont need the height to be world class, such an incredible lengthy coaster twisted and moudled within itself into a small quarry, it's breathtaking to see let alone ride.

Stunning. How they built the best B&M invert in this tiny space is beong mortal understanding. An amazing achievement, an amazing ride.
Constant 4G from start to finish, almost as fast as Rita is the right conditions and a sound envied by Aston Martin.

pagey@magicmountain have you even been on nemesis? doesn't seem like it as I have NEVER met anyone who has been on it and not liked it. Also why don't you stop bumming off the USA long enough to get off your arse and go on the good rides the UK has to offer!

I wasn't sure about all the hype surrounding this ride. It looks like just another B&M inverter. But it is indeed an amazing, forceful ride. And smooth, especially for it's age. Absolutely terrific!

This is one hell of a ride - Still just as smooth, intense and exciting as it was the day it opened in 1994. Difficult to fault. My only personal problem with it is the intensity really takes it toll on me after multiple repeat rides, despite I still find myself going back for more!

What is it now, 15 years old?
And it still gives you that thrill. It is unmatched.

Everything about this ride is a revelation: The Ravine, THAT music, the roar, the inverts.. it all comes together to make an astonishingly near perfect coaster. As intense as they get- yet its as smooth as a rolls royce. Normally i say each to their own opinion, but personally i think if you dont like Nemesis then you dont like roller-coasters full stop!! 10/10

lol yea at least alton towers digs bloody deep holes insted of sittin on thier arses moaning about the hight limits! also, with the ride being closer to ground, nemesis flys past rocks whick makes the themeing and experience 10 times better.

it is a blessing that alton has the hight limit... it just proves that with such strict conditions, andthing can be done. without the height limit, oblivion or nemesis probably wouldnt exsist. and most people are proud to live in the same country as these rides...

pagey@magicmountain, this is WAY more forceful than a standerd vekoma. this is smoother, and the themeing is alot better than any other ride in the USA. And rides in Britan are NOT crap! You live in England, so do I, and you prefer a place you don't even live in? Look at all the good ride Britan has! Also, Alton towers is the UK's best theme park. It has a wide mixture of rides and roller coasters, which do not compare to any other theme parks in Britan. Worlds first vertical drop coaster, europe's first rocket coaster, europe's first inverted coaster, and yet ANOTHER wold first coming in 2010. Your crazy, you know that?
