Nemesis, Steel roller coaster at Alton Towers Resort, England.

The Nemesis roller coaster features a 716-meter track with four inversions, reaching speeds of 81 kilometers per hour through a terrain-following design.

The construction of this inverted roller coaster in 1994 required 250 tonnes of steel and marked the first installation of its type in Europe.

The narrative centers on an ancient extraterrestrial creature discovered during excavations, which led to military intervention and containment measures.

The ride requires visitors to measure at least 1.4 meters in height and operates two trains with eight cars each, accommodating 1,200 riders hourly.

The roller coaster established a Guinness World Record in 2004 when 32 participants rode without clothing during a special event.

Official opening: March 19, 1994
