Alton Towers Nemesis Reborn: Theme park unveils first-look at every 'jaw-dropping' twist and turn of 'iconic' rollercoaster ahead of this weekend

Alton Towers has unveiled first-look drone footage of the "jaw-dropping" Nemesis Reborn rollercoaster set to open in days

Alton Towers has revealed “jaw-dropping” drone footage showcasing every twist and “nerve-shredding” turn of its Nemesis Reborn rollercoaster that is set to open this weekend. Nemesis Reborn is making a return to the theme park following an 18-month transformation.

The first-look drone footage released today (Wednesday 13 March) shows the transformation that the original ride has undergone. Its 250-tonne, 716-metre-long track has been replaced with mysterious red veins now snaking along its every inch.

The new look and feel culminates in the fearsome interactive eye, which guests will be able to see in all its glory from 16 March. State-of-the-art audio visual technology brings it vividly to life, while extensive new theming plunges visitors into a new immersive experience from the moment they set foot in Forbidden Valley.

The incredible footage also captures the sheer power of Nemesis Reborn which takes its riders on an unrivalled thrill-ride, hitting speeds of 50 miles per hour and G Forces of 3.4. The ride will have four full inversions and nerve-shredding drops for anyone that is brave enough to face it.

The iconic Nemesis rollercoaster originally opened in 1994 and was crowned Europe’s first inverted rollercoaster. It went on to develop a devoted global fanbase. During its original incarnation it travelled over 800,000 miles, carrying more than 52 million people.

John Burton, senior creative lead, Merlin Magic Making said: “For three decades the original Nemesis rollercoaster provided an unrivalled experience for countless millions of thrill-seekers - making it one of the most cherished attractions in the UK. So when it came to bringing it to life for the 21st century, the stakes couldn’t have been higher.

“That’s why we pulled out all the stops to create Nemesis Reborn. Everyone involved in this incredible project has poured their heart and soul into it to ensure we create a rollercoaster experience that is truly unrivalled and will set the standard for the next 30 years.”
