Nemesis Inferno is a steel inverted roller coaster made by Bolliger & Mabillard of Switzerland. It begins with a small drop into a misty volcano and then goes into the lift hill. When it has reached the top, B&M's favourite pre-drop element comes in and then it does a large swooping drop and straight into a vertical loop. Then it goes straight into a zero-G roll and then swoops back into 2 interlocking wingovers. It then does 2 turns and then finally goes into a brake run. The ride is themed around a tropical volcano. The loading of the ride is quite quick so the queue is mainly always on the move. The coaster is located in the Calypso Quay area of Thorpe Park in Surrey, England.
[edit] Trivia
- Nemesis Inferno is the only inverted rollercoaster to feature a set of interlocking wingovers.
- The pre-lift section through the tunnel is the longest on any B&M coaster in the world.
- Nemesis Inferno is the 2nd slowest B&M inverted coaster in the world with a speed of just 47.8mph.
