Nemesis,
'The
world's most intense ride experience' opened in 1994. Nemesis has
constantly been rated as one of the best roller coasters in the
world. Due to its theming and ground effect it creates a unique
and very intense ride. Nemesis is built into a hole in the ground
meaning that riders are very close to rocks and fences around the
ride. It is uniquely themed and riders come very close to 'blood'
waterfalls and pools. Because of this Nemesis can't be seen, even
when entering Forbidden Valley, it's likely you'll be able to hear
the trains roar before you see the ride. The music around Nemesis
is very atmospheric and makes riders think twice before riding.
The
average queue time for Nemesis is 30 minutes, we therefore recommend
that you queue for the front as it is well worth the extra wait.
After
boarding and all the checks have been made, the train departs and
turns to the right. It then climbs the lift, as the ride is built
in a hole it still has to climb quite high to actually get to the
tree line. Once at the top a small dip to the left starts the ride,
before a drop down towards the queue line and the edge of the cliff.
You enter a corkscrew before a sharp helix to the right. Smile for
the camera as you enter the Zero G roll over the roof of the station.
A stall turn leads back down to the pit of the hole where you enter
a vertical loop. An overhead turn leads you under the exit path
as you enter another corkscrew. The final helix leads to the brakes
and your experience on Nemesis is over.
It
doesn't matter when you ride Nemesis but we recommend that you ride
second (after Air) because then you don't have to keep walking back
to the Forbidden Valley.
Riders
must be a minimum of 1.4 metres tall to ride. There is a test seat
located at the ride entrance if you're unsure. |
