What exactly are you scared of? Only by riding it, will you find out how fun it is. [:P]

Just try not to overhype yourself about it. Easier said than done, I know. lol

If you have to ask yourself "should I ride one of the best rides in the world" then maybe you shouldnt - someone else would get through the line faster.

Its one of the best in the world. You owe it to the ride to ride.

I've ridden quite a few rides (about 60) and i'm sure quite a few people have ridden more than me here, but Nemesis is still my favourite over all the others. Ride it.

Nemesis eats babies, so be careful around it.

I was 11 when I first rode Nemasis and it was my first ride with inversions. Just go for it, I did and it was awesome.

What is the minimum age to be a member here? [lol] Seriously man, ride the coaster and quit fussing about it.

Nemesis is one of the greatest ride experiences in the worls, and needs to be added the the 50 things to do before i die list. You should really ride it, you know your safe, and that nothing can go wrong on a ride that has such a hich statndard of maintainance. You'll be fine. My Advice is just to sit back relax and enjoy the ride. Theres nothing to be affraid of. Rita no where near as fun as Nemesis. You've not been to alton towers if you have'nt been on Nemesis.

I've been on Rita nad nemesis and rita is still one of my most feared rides (just coz of the acceleration) but I love the feeling on nemesis, as I'm sure you will!

We took stephen(Gould's younger bro) age 13 on nemesis not long back for the first time and he was really aprehensive, having never been on a major coaster before (apart from spinball whizzer the same day which he hated) [lol] and when we got him on nemesis, me and gould sat him in the middle and we both held on to him for support but he cried all the way up the chain lift.

we were really worried we'd done the wrong thing. it was the scared-ness and nerves that made his first ride on nemesis not as good as it could have been, but still as soon as we got off he said 'can we go again?' [:)] and we ended up riding it loads that day. the only thing i think he perhaps found was that he should have gone on air first (at alton towers) as his first major ride, as he found it calmer and more relaxing than nemesis. but yes. def ride it, you'll enjoy it :)

yes go ride but dont forget this is the nemesis, the beast is only held down by the steel structure which pinns it to the floor, if it gets loose it could destry the world. its awsome power is unstopable.

yes ride the beast and enjoy it, theres no coaster anywhere thats more intence or enjoyable than nemesis so go ahed, ride, enjoy and then after youve done it come back ant tell us how you found he experience

Of course you should ride it. It may be visually intimidating, but once you're all strapped in and you go round that first slow bend where the ride just coasts between the tress before the first drop, you'll forget it all because its such a different feeling to Rita etc. Its just enjoyable.

Yes, yes you should ride Nemesis!

I think I was around your age when I first rode Nemesis. Was a bit apprehensive about it beforehand, but afterwards you just wont regret it.

And as they say on Nemesis:

'Sit back, it's fright time!'
