Should I Ride Nemesis

yeha you should feel bad, next time you go ill make shure the uk coaster crew turn up to drag you on there kicking and screaming.

lol you should ride it...i remember i was scared of roller coasters and then i went on a couple and now i'd go on ANYTHING

go ahead and try it......it'll be fun!! =)

Next time just pretend Nemesis is only 5 feet high rather than underground

Anyway... don't chicken out.

Dont be scared. When i went to Alton Towers in 2005 i said to myself and all my friends that i wold go on Nemesis one of them even offered me a bet. They didnt believe me. Mainly becuase when we went for the first time back in 2003 i was so scared that i went on nothing but the Flume and Air (and i was still screaming my head off on Air.) When i got there the second time Nemesis was our first ride. I looked at it and almost had second thoughts. But i caried on. I was so nervous i was almost sick! We were at the front and when we went on my head was down and my eyes were closed. The force was pretty wicked but it was fun. After that first drop and inversion i was enjoying myself so much that i put my head up and opened my eyes and just had fun. Ive wanted to go on it again ever since!
Oh and by the way i was 11 at that time too!

Just get on it and DON'T THINK ABOUT IT. Cannot stress that enough. Just be talking to friends, and casually get on the ride. Easier said than done, I know, but you're lucky to have the chance to ride it. I wish I did.

The worlds most intense ride, yes its worth the visit, or a few hundred!

Anyway, I went on this ride when I was 8 and found it great so, I am still alive, its such a fun coaster when you ride it.

haha Batman i rode like 2 month ago....not the smoothest ride anymore....

I rode Batman at SFMM last week, smooth as ever.

Why did you chicken out!? You went on Corkscrew, and it's probably higher off the ground then Nemesis and goes upside down. You shouldn't have missed it!! That and Voyage are on my "no matter what ride it before I die" list. Missed out man..

Nahh but you guys who havent being to Alton Towers cant comprehend how intimidating Nemesis actually looks even though it isnt that tall. Just because its not tall doesnt mean it isnt intimidating for a first time rider. Its way more intimidating than Corkscrew or Rita, to me it was even more intimidating than Oblivion.

The fact you can hear it before you even catch a glimpse really adds to the tension. You can hear the continuous roar reverberating off the rock walls, and this sound almosts drowns out some of the screaming. Then you finally turn a corner and there you can just see the helix, where riders feet are inches from the rusted fence. Then once you get close up, the ground just opens below you and all of a sudden the ride seems to grow. It is incredibly intimidating for anyone who hasnt ridden a major coaster before (you cant call corkscrew a major coaster) so i understand maybe why he didnt ride.

Still, ride it next time man, and you definately wont regret it. And yes to whoever asked about heartline, nemesis isn't heartlined properly, look at pictures where the ride comes out the first inversion into the helix, the heartline is just plain wrong.

Ive been on 180+ coasters.
And it tops my list.
It tops many other people's lists.
It is THE best invert in the world.
Holds one of the highest g-pulling helix's in the world.
And you didnt go on it.
Im crying for you man.

i might do in 2 years... when i am 13

for now i am sticking with Air and Spinball Whizzer[:D]
