June 29, 201411 yr comment_186013 Well had my first rides on Nemy again this weekend after nearly a year and can certainly say, the rides fantastic, the way it flus through twists, turns and corners gaining speed and power through the amazing landscape too whilst still being very smooth 20 years later, Whilsts it's a shame the blood waterfall won't be returning for the foreseeable future, it's easily the best uk ride and I love it and could easily spend all day riding it.

July 7, 201411 yr comment_186420 Nemesis was running absoloutely fantastic yesterday! More intense than I've ever known it. Got 9 rides via the single rider queue. It would have been more but someone decided it would be a good idea to puke all over the station...
July 7, 201411 yr comment_186447 I disagree. The fact that when it rusts (or oxidizes) it looks older, and more ghastly, helps portray the theme in the fact its a tamed beast. It makes it look even uglier and more dangerous I guess.
July 7, 201411 yr comment_186450 re paint and re theme would do alot for this ride Retheme? Are you mad?
July 7, 201411 yr comment_186452 All I said was repaint! Not a big deal and it has nothing to do with a complete revamp!
July 7, 201411 yr comment_186465 Repaint was on the cards over winter.. repaint is still kinda on the cards this winter. Hopefully it gets it.
July 7, 201411 yr comment_186466 All I said was repaint! Not a big deal and it has nothing to do with a complete revamp! I wasn't actually aiming the post at you. I think that a repaint would be nice although I think it looks quite effective at the moment.
July 8, 201411 yr comment_186525 Given Alton are apparently going to make a big(ish) deal about Nemesis' 21st birthday next year, it'd be lovely if they could give the station a repaint. Not the track though; that's great just the way it is!
July 17, 201411 yr comment_187188 Yo I only noticed the other day that someone shouted over the tanoy: 'NEEEMESIIIS!'. I rode it again later in the day for the exact same voiceover to sound. Is this legit supposed to be part of the experience? When I heard it first time, I thought: 'Great, way to ruin the atmosphere' Anyone shed any light?
July 17, 201411 yr comment_187192 There's a voice over in the station which has played on 5 minute intervals with 8 different speeches since time has began. They used to have a voice changer on it so he sounded better, but it broke about 10 years ago. Now he just sounds very excited. It is all part of the experience though, and is awesome "Nemeessiiisssss. Once dormant now resurrecteeeddd! *pop*" The ones I can remember: The one above Sit back. It's fright time. See the blood flow, approach if you dare. May be chained but still untamable. Are you ready for the awesome force? Pst, it's a PA system not a sodding tannoy.
July 17, 201411 yr comment_187222 I also love the call outs. Been trying to find a recording of them for years online!
July 18, 201411 yr comment_187242 I do remember when it sounded more like a Viking soldier calling out the slogans, but now it's just embarassing/funny. Strange that it had a separate device to distort the audio, even for 1994 that's quite primitive. It must have been done really cheaply.
July 18, 201411 yr comment_187243 It distorted everything over the PA system - so the operator sounded similar too! But yes. No more of that!
August 30, 201411 yr comment_190253 Managed 22 rides on Nemesis yesterday using the Single Rider Queue! (Got on a lot more as well as just Nemesis!)
August 31, 201411 yr comment_190329 From TS facebook.... At least they can't do a Chessington and remove these rocks - they're real! Good job it happened over night! Can see alt queue being used for a while though, until the whole rock face is checked out.
