Nemesis review by Gazza

by Gazza, 6 years ago
Rated 4.5 A legendary roller coaster amongst enthusiasts.
Combines fast pacing and intensity, plus a great deal of effort in terms of half burying the ride.
But if you're ridden other B&M inverts, it wont necessarily be a total revelation.
Just a really good ride!

Review Criteria

Enjoyment Amazing

The ride ticks a lot of boxes, a great natural setting, some cool themimg, and an awesome ride. Even queuing is enjoyable, as the path winds around the ride area like an undulating mountain trail.

Effectiveness Amazing

A fantastic ride that combines a thrilling intense coaster, with a dark doomsday theme.

Intensity Very High

Some really intense moments, owing to the way the ride was shoehorned into an excavated valley. The first helix is insane.

Rider Comfort Very Good

Ran fairly well, but at the same time the ride is over 20 years old, so there is some minor roughness on occasion.

Pacing Amazing

A small first drop builds up a surprising amount of speed, and from then on the pace is ballistic, spiraling downhill speeding through tunnels and narrowly avoiding rock walls. Everything works to make it feel faster.

Theming/Storyline Very Good

A great storyline of an alien creature that has risen from the ground, with a tangle of track darting around it. The overgrown valley the ride is set in is gorgeous. Rusty apocalyptic theming and paint jobs tie it all together.

Upkeep/Presentation Good

The ride opened in the mid 90s, so the alien creature that forms the centerpiece and station is a bit weathered.

Queue/Efficiency Very Good

Enthusiast staff keep the lines moving.
