No. But this topic is for Nemesis, maybe try asking it on the Shoutbox? :)

However, if you are referring to the fact Millenuim force did better than Shambhala and Nemesis in the global polls, I would say it is because Millenium force was more groundbreaking (first giga coaster).

Please may I emphasise "POV"s. They are just a view, they can't make you feel any G-force.

I'm sure there is a topic somewhere about Shambhala and MF where this conversation would be best suited. :)

Auto-correct Alex, is a mysterious thing.

How's Nemmy been doing in terms of rider numbers? I mean, has anyone seen half-empty trains?

A lot of people will use ERT to queue for The Smiler, so the fact that Nemesis is generally walk-on during ERT doesn't mean anything. I don't think I've ever had to wait at all for anything during ERT.

^^^ OK, if nothing has a queue in ERT then Nemmy being walk on during ERT is not a worry.

The front row queue for Nemmy is very popular.

It is much larger compared to all the other front row queues (at least from what I've seen).

Rita? That always seems to have a long queue due to the throughput.

And, perhaps the fact it is a 2 seats per row arrangement?

I have heard a lot of money is being pumped into the ride for next season.
New trains and a full refurb.
Apparently B&M wont allow them to run nemesis next year without this.


I don`t need to tell you where I got the info from, but I trust it.

I heard this rumour, but it's trains at pretty much brand new so I doubt they would get new trains.

The usual thing on this forum, you need to name your source to gain any credibility.
