Nemesis Inferno opened in 2003 under heavy accusations that it was a dodgy copy of Nemesis at Alton Towers. This wasn't the case as the park had themed the ride around an erupting volcano and despite the similar name and ride type, there are no similarities.

Nemesis Inferno stands 95ft above Calypso Quay and has excellent capacity, if running on two trains. The inverted design means that riders legs dangle in mid air whilst they fly around the track at speeds of over 40mph.

The ride can be intimidating, but not nearly as intimidating as Colossus or Stealth. This also results in the queue for Nemesis Inferno being a lot less, whilst Colossus could have a more than two hour queue, at the same time Nemesis Inferno would have about 1 hour 30mins.

Personally I feel that Nemesis Inferno is a lot better than Colossus, partly because it is the smoothest roller coaster that Thorpe Park has ever built and also because it never gets boring, from the volcano right to the brakes, this ride never lets up.

If you ride Nemesis Inferno, your voyage will start by boarding the cars inside an 'erupting volcano,' after leaving the station you will take a quick dip to the right and enter the volcano. You might get wet here, but its only mild. After leaving the volcano, you turn to the left and start the 95ft tall lifthill. You climb this quite quickly and before you know it, you'll be at the top. A small drop is then followed by a long twisting drop to the left, towards Detonator, and then a vertical loop. After the loop, you fly above the path and into a Zero G roll before diving back down and racing only feet above the ground. Then comes the interlocking corkscrews, you will be turned upside down twice here. Your photo will shortly follow so make sure you smile. A figure of 8 helix and then the brakes. Nemesis Inferno will leave you pumping with adrenalin and wanting more.

Riders must be a minimum of 1.4 meters tall to ride.
