September 30, 200816 yr comment_34269 I love nemesis better than inferno I was at the back there was so much force and I dont know how it picks up that much speedI know!!! how the hell does it make it round the 1st corkscrew???
September 30, 200816 yr comment_34297 TrGeorge, Blue, let me introduce you to someone called gravity.
November 10, 200816 yr comment_38740 I hope Nemesis gets a bit of a touch up this closed season in terms of theming features. The station could do with being made a bit more dark and sinister, it seems to be getting brighter everytime I go there now. The waterfalls I'd quite like to see made a dark red rather than the usual pink and I think the smoke machines could be put to better use next year, they seemed to be only going off every now and then rather than letting a small amount off all the time.The audio needs to be louder in the area again, you only really can hear it at the entrance and in the station now. It really does add a lot to the atmosphere and needs loudness again.

It really does add a lot to the atmosphere and needs loudness again.It'd be impossible to hear the audio in the queueline when the ride is roaring around all the time. Inferno is the same, at only the station and entrance.The one noise I love about Nemesis is the first corkscrew after descent, you listen to the "clonk" it makes as it goes through it.
November 30, 200816 yr comment_40439 Did anyone know of a problem with a nemesis loop support?I remember reading it somewhere on a mania hub forum but now can't find it. Thanks
December 1, 200816 yr comment_40448 Did anyone know of a problem with a nemesis loop support?I remember reading it somewhere on a mania hub forum but now can't find it. ThanksNo, there isn't.There is/ was a crack in the first corkscrew though.
December 1, 200816 yr comment_40450 A few months/years ago the foundations for the vertical loop had to be reset as because of the shifting landscape, cracks had appeared. Cracks have also been found in the first part of the lay-out, particularly in the downhill helix.
December 1, 200816 yr comment_40452 I'm guessing that's because of the very high speed of the train when it goes through the helix?
December 1, 200816 yr Author comment_40457 If you look at Alton Towers closed season pictures, Nemesis frequently has scaffolding on many different parts of it's track, due to fatigue usually.
December 2, 200816 yr comment_40490 Yeah the Helix is one of the parts of the ride that gets put through the most stress. Most closed seasons coasters have to be tested for cracks and hair-line fractures.
December 2, 200816 yr comment_40517 No, there isn't.There is/ was a crack in the first corkscrew though. A few months/years ago the foundations for the vertical loop had to be reset as because of the shifting landscape, cracks had appeared. Cracks have also been found in the first part of the lay-out, particularly in the downhill helix.Are talking about the supports here or track? And when you say foundations, do you mean the piling?
April 11, 200916 yr comment_52044 I have heard that Nemesis is having more down time than Colossus!Can anyone explain any problems Nemesis is having.(oh, also don't be mean to my Colossus! )
April 11, 200916 yr comment_52045 I'm guessing its still having problems with the supports that meant the late opening of it this year?
April 12, 200916 yr comment_52066 It's spitting track rust/wax over riders.And it's been getting stuck on the lift hill.
April 12, 200916 yr comment_52069 It's spitting track rust/wax over riders.And it's been getting stuck on the lift hill. Nice, but that hasn't answered my question...
April 12, 200916 yr comment_52103 If its spitting rust and wax over riders I bloody hope it isn't open.
April 12, 200916 yr comment_52110 I hope it's open next friday, as I'm going up there for a few hours on the way to Blackpool.
April 14, 200916 yr comment_52634 Any more news on Nemesis? Maybe open for wednesday??? Not sure if it has been spitting wax and rust then I would say no but not sure it could be but just think it will be shut and if it is open it is a bonus.
April 15, 200916 yr comment_52827 I went to AT today, Nemesis WAS open and it was soooo sik! All rides were pretty much walk-ons.Got on well loads of rides
April 16, 200916 yr comment_52912 All rides were pretty much walk-ons.Got on well loads of ridesI wish Thorpe was like that.
