Alton Towers' Nemesis ride is closing and thrill-seekers are 'gutted'

Alton Towers, the Staffordshire theme park, has announced that its £10m Nemesis rollercoaster is closing. Nemesis was Europe’s first inverted rollercoaster.

In a tweet on Wednesday, September 21, Alton Towers shared the news and gave the date that thrill seekers need to visit before to book one of the last seats on the ride. 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.

Taking to social media, Alton Towers Resort wrote: "Nemesis is closing. You have until 6th November to ride." After providing a link to its booking department, the message continued: "Please make your way to Alton Towers Resort in an orderly fashion."
