Video was enjoyable and seemed to me to be a pretty good POV of Nemmy.

Please note that the video is best viewed in 50% actual size. I used a photo camera to shoot the vid so the quality wasn't the highest, but was the best I could do as Alton Towers is extremly strict on camera onride. Infact queueing for Oblivion that day, they stopped the ride half way up the lift and sent a worker up to retrieve a person with a camera.

Sheesh, the things I do for you guys [lol]

I took it yesterday. I went with Rachael and up until the 11o clock there were no queues at all. Walk on for Oblivion, Nemesis and Air (yes even AIR) But the crowds built up over lunch, at one point Nemesis queue was 50 minutes long, but it went down really quick after that and stayed around 10 - 15 queue for the rest of the day. Plus me and Rachael kept getting on quicker for the front seat as there was just 2 of us.

I also have AIR and Corkscrew onrides if anyone is intrested

Great POV edge! Nemmy is such an awesome ride, and that POV cant quite show it, as you just cant see how close everything comes to the train. But its the best damn POV of nemmy ive seen i reckon. [:D] thanks

[lol] Yeah, I had it perfectly planned on where to get the camera out and as I turned it on a pressed record, it said Battery Depleated and closed down [lol] I wasn't happy after all that hassle of trying to get it, but that didn't stop me, I tried it again just for all you guys here and mainly WWS, who has told me every single time I have ever gone to Alton Towers 'Do Not Come Back Without an Onride Of Nemesis, Or You Are Banned!'

AIR? Bleh... I've got Tatsu.[:D] Actually.. I don't, but i will once they lighten up on the no loose article rule.... or if they give us one.[:D] As for avoiding getting caught on the lift, take it out of your pocket, but keep it concealed till after you pass the security camera. Thats what I did for Kraken, anyways.

^Kraken, psh, I wanna see it. Too bad I don't have $50.

As for the POV, it was cool. I know everyone considers Nemesis one of best inverted coasters.

I'll try to get a POV of BGE's Coasters, but as of right now, I don't have a suitible camera, so not for a while. BGE just says, "Loose articles must be secured", so if you have a tightenable wrist strap, then they'l let you take it on.

Good video Edge.
And about the red water. The red die thats put in it is totally replaced at the start of the season, thus the very red colour.
I asked the ride op[:)]

Good POV. I have seen Nemmy in action before many times but this video quality is much better.

I can't download the video for some reason, I keep getting redirected to a page on wws.com saying that the requested url doesn't exist and tells me not to make the same mistake twice! I wouldn't make the same mistake twice if i actually made the mistake, but as i didn't i'm quite annoyed.

Here's the url i get directed to:

http://www.weeweeslap.net/cost_vi/alton ... _45672.zip

and here's the message:
The page that you are looking is not here. Your IP is ***.***.***.*** and it has been forwarded to the site administration along with the URL you seek. Do NOT make the same mistake twice.

any ideas from anyone as to how i can fix 'my' mistake?

yeah I took the videos offline again, can't afford them to be live and ads nor donations are helping me cover enough. When we have enough I'll reopen them and we got tons of new vids as well [:(]

no, they'd delete them, you have no idea how popular the videos are, they'd get taken off by them.

i guess i could host them for a while... I have a load of bandwidth which i don't use. I would have to limit the number of downloads thoguh so it doesn't go over my limit cos i can't afford to be charged, but i could host them for a limited number of downloads a month if that interests you... how much bandwidth per day do these videos take up roughly?
