Alton Towers offering once in a life time chance to be on final ride of Nemesis

Alton Towers is offering a once in a lifetime opportunity to be on the final ride of their famous Nemesis attraction.

Published
The Nemesis at Alton Towers is closing on November 6.

The ride, which is due to close on Sunday, November 6, is going to undergo a major revamp and return in 2024, and so the theme park is now running a competition for thrillseekers to be able to be one of the lucky ones to have a seat on the final ride with its creator, John Wardley.

An announcement of the closure of the ride was made last month - drawing a huge response on social media, due to the high popularity of the attraction.

Visitors attending Alton Towers theme park on November 6 and choose to ride it on its final day, will be able to get their hands on a limited edition photo.

Nemesis was Europe’s first inverted roller coaster when it launched in 1994 and remains one of the UK’s best-loved rollercoasters today. Riders experience 3.5 G-force as they race past the rocks and rivers of the theme park’s Forbidden Valley at speeds of up to 50mph.

Nemesis will return in 2024 following its transformation. Details of the transformation are being kept under wraps for now with more information to be revealed nearer the time.
