Nemesis review by Gazza
by Gazza, 7 years ago
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
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
A fantastic ride that combines a thrilling intense coaster, with a dark doomsday theme.Intensity
Some really intense moments, owing to the way the ride was shoehorned into an excavated valley. The first helix is insane.Rider Comfort
Ran fairly well, but at the same time the ride is over 20 years old, so there is some minor roughness on occasion.Pacing
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
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
The ride opened in the mid 90s, so the alien creature that forms the centerpiece and station is a bit weathered.Queue/Efficiency
Enthusiast staff keep the lines moving.More Reviews
