Nemesis<\/b> is an inverted roller coaster located at the Alton<\/a> Towers<\/a> amusement park in England. The ride’s concept and layout was devised by designer John Wardley. It was manufactured by Bolliger & Mabillard (B&M) and opened in March 1994. It is located in the Forbidden Valley area of the park, adjacent to Air<\/i>, a flying B&M roller coaster that opened in 2002.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 716-metre-long (2,349 ft) ride stands 13 metres (43 ft) tall and features a top speed of 80.5 kilometres per hour (50.0 mph). The four-inversion roller coaster was the first Bolliger & Mabillard ride to be installed outside of the United States. The ride has been very well received, consistently ranking highly in industry polls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once the train is locked and checked the floor beneath it is lowered before the train then departs the station making a 45-degree, right-hand turn towards the lift hill. Once at the top of the 13-metre (43 ft) hill, the train makes a small dip and turns around 180 degrees to the left. The train then descends 31.7 metres (104 ft) down the first drop into the first inversion, a right-handed corkscrew. The train then navigates a right-handed, 270-degree downward helix that features 90 degree banking. Then the train rises up into the second inversion, a zero-g roll, where riders experience the feeling of weightlessness. It then makes a 180-degree right-handed stall turn into the third inversion, a vertical loop. After a left stall turn the train enters the second corkscrew. The train then passes through an underground tunnel, and through one more 180-degree turn, before being stopped by the brake run and returning to the station.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
