Alton Towers shares first look at new Nemesis Reborn roller coaster

Alton Towers have shared a first look at the new roller coaster thrillseekers can try when Nemesis returns to the park this spring.

Undergoing the biggest overhaul in its 30-year history, the ride will now be known as Nemesis Reborn when it reopens to the public.

The entire 250-tonne, 716-metre-long track has been replaced during the huge transformation, with a complete update of the attraction.

Alton Towers shared a video clip today, showing a giant fiery red eye, surrounded by razor-sharp teeth at the centre of the creature’s head.

Nemesis originally opened in 1994, and was crowned Europe’s first inverted roller coaster – with a now established cult status among roller coaster fanatics.

Millions have visited the theme park from around the world, all to experience the thrilling 3.5 G-force as they dangle across twists and turns at speeds of up to 50mph.

“As Europe’s first inverted roller coaster it occupies a special place in the heart for so many. At Alton Towers Resort we’ve been working tirelessly to transform this iconic attraction and we’re delighted to give fans a first look at the terrifying creature that gives it its name.

“This year fans will be able to experience the stand-out thrills of Nemesis Reborn for themselves. We’re keeping tight-lipped about the exact date of its return for now, but we can assure you … the wait will be worth it.”
