There isn't an inverter on the planet (well.. maybe Katun) that is as intense as Nemesis. That doesn't take anything away from Inferno as a quality roller coaster.

The trains were sat on pallets next to Colossus' break run yesterday. No big differences but they're now painted shiny black with the Thorpe Park logo across the front.

Yeah I noticed that, what could they be doing inside because they weren't working on the trains so why leave them there.

OK both Nemesis and Nemesis Inferno pull 4.5 G's... Nemesis is more intense because its more compact... Nemesis Inferno isn't a crappy B&M either... Nemesis Inferno is fast through out as well and Nemesis reaches max speed ha;f way through the ride but there both good B&M's and just because they have the same name doesn't have to mean you compare them because everyone compares them because of the name. You don't see anyone comparing all the batman clones.

The water splash was working on the pass holders' day, albeit intermittently. Same for the fireball on Swarm.

I presume you're highlighting the fact that there doesn't appear to be any underfriction or upper wheels  ;)

Is this ride any good? I've only ever been to Thorpe once due to living in the Northwest. Never went on this.

How does it rate in terms of similar type rides?
