context_page_description: Nemesis is an inverted roller coaster located at the Alton Towers theme park in England. The ride's concept and layout was devised by designer John Wardley and Tussauds Studios. It was manufactured by Bolliger & Mabillard and opened in March 1994. It is located in the Forbidden Valley area of the park, adjacent to Galactica and The Blade.
  The 716-metre-long ride stands 12.8 metres tall and features a top speed of 50 miles per hour. The four-inversion roller coaster was one of the first Bolliger & Mabillard rides to be installed outside of the United States and the first in Europe.
context_section_description: Nemesis has received positive reception by park visitors and the attraction industry as a whole since its opening. More than 50 million people have ridden Nemesis since opening. In Amusement Today's annual Golden Ticket Awards, Nemesis has consistently ranked highly. It is also one of only seven roller coasters to appear in the top 50 every year since the award's inception in 1998. It debuted at position 10 in 1998, before peaking at position 7 in 2003.
  Two further rides with the Nemesis brand were later opened at Merlin Entertainments theme parks. The first is Nemesis Inferno at Thorpe Park, another Bolliger & Mabillard inverted roller coaster. The ride opened in 2003. Alton Towers hosts the second related ride, Nemesis: Sub-Terra. The drop tower opened on the former Dynamo site in 2012 and is currently closed.
  As a result of this branding, Nemesis is often compared with its Thorpe Park counterpart – Nemesis Inferno. Nemesis has ranked favourably in Amusement Today's annual Golden Ticket Awards, being one of only seven roller coasters to appear in the top 50 steel roller coasters for all 15 years. Nemesis Inferno has never made an appearance. In a poll conducted by the Los Angeles Times, Nemesis received 37.93% of the vote for title of best roller coaster in England, while Nemesis Inferno received 0.32%.
