To everyone who is looking a reviews before going
Queue - The reviews may make the ride seem like a waste of time, but if you go into the park at opening (no 2nd day required to get there an hour early) and then walk straight to it (no waits) from my own experience you can get around 2 rides front row where the queue is less than 5 minutes, after this it seems to go up to 20 minutes but if you want another ride its worth the while.
Bumpiness/shake - The shake from the ride doesn't feel all too extensive, and even when it gets bumpy, its usually in a spot where it blends into the ride in a perfect way that fits with it amazingly
Intensity - I have never ridden too many thrillers, only theme park I've been to and ridden wicker, 13 and some other lesser rides. Found it intense, but it was absolutely amazing!
Front queue wait times - Absolutely worth it, the ride is a lot worse without front row but is still a blast, my first ride was a 4th row I think and it made me feel dizzy afterwards (I do have motion sickness but its mild) Front row completely gets rid of the dizziness.
Ride feeling (spoilers or for the ones who are scared to ride) - start, first ride is probably one of the scariest parts of the ride going up the short lift hill gives an amazing feeling of fear. Drop, the coaster gets off the chain into a surprisingly fast dip, everyone screams and then it goes into a 1/2 second slightly steeper segment. This part of the ride then quickly shoots you up into the air into a thrilling corkscrew. After this it quickly takes you forward into a sharp right turn. It then goes forward again and absolutely skyrockets you into another corkscrew (scariest part of the ride in my opinion) It then goes forward, turns into a airtime loop. It then does a few more turns and then goes into the station (you will hear people cheering and saying the ride was amazing, no need to thank me)
Photo position - Worse spot ever (the scariest part), you will get amazing photos (or terrible)
Overall rating - 9/10
Queue - 9/10 (very short) Restraints - 8.5/10 (not as good as lap bars but still comfy) Actual ride 9.5/10 (amazing)
The overall reviews...
Read moreAbsolute phenomenal coaster, it's 25 years old and still untamable. It's still running like a beauty and is a great coaster if you like intense rides and inverted. The theming is excellent and the station is great being shaped as nemesis. You enter the station and your heart is pounding. If you go front row you feel like your feet are about to bash against the rocks and provides a much less intense experience. More to the back is where the intensity kicks in. Going over the first inversion at a quite slow speed and getting dragged along over to the helix as the feet banging really starts. After that you are whipped into a 0 g roll over the station what makes me see stars to this day. You are then pushed into a fast turn around section, yet again feeling like your feet are going to bash into the rocks, then into a very intense loop and then go storming into a tunnel when shortly after twisting and turning you are sent into another inversion before turning around into the breakrun. This ride is for the audience who love intense and thrilling experiences. I love it and if you are afraid of your restraint coming undone you can rest asure there is a seatbelt holding it down if it does come undone. Overall it's a great ride and will always be re-ridable due to the unknown nature...
Read moreFor a 27 year old B&M inverted coaster, this thing still packs a real punch 🎉👊❤️
To follow up - this is still a really good, intense ride and one of the best roller coasters in the country.... I would argue its a better ride that The Smiler - although we're getting into apples and oranges territory here....
This was my first ever "upside down ride" and I was not a brave child. I was terrified of these big rides. Safe to say, after queueing 5 hours in the blistering hot sun around 2 weeks after Nemesis first opened, I was converted forever and from that moment on I loved roller coasters! The bigger and scarier the better! So - to the children who are scared to get on this thing - take a deep breath, be brave and ride it! It might just change you forever like it did me.... And if not, its less than a minute of your life...
