Looking up Nemesis' lift hill.
aaa_nemesis_05b.jpg

aaa_nemesis_06.jpg
From halfway up the lift hill, we have a look at the loop and stall turn.
aaa_nemesis_06b.jpg
The Nemesis lift hill gives a nice view on the ride circuit, as well as Air in the distance.

And again.
aaa_nemesis_13.jpg
The Computer Room underneath the station.
aaa_nemesis_13a.jpg
Inside the computer room, we take a look at a layout diagram for Nemesis. Note that around the track it shows the "safety envelope" - the space around the track that needs to be kept free so that the train does not hit anything.
aaa_nemesis_13b.jpg
Another diagram, showing the brake section of track and the maintenance garage. The diagram on the right also shows a shortened version of the lift hill.
aaa_nemesis_13c.JPG
Some replacement restraints from Bolliger & Mabillard.

aaa_nemesis_19.jpg
Inside the Maintenance Shed, we go to the upper level and take a look.
aaa_nemesis_20.jpg
From above, looking down on the other train. As it's undergoing its annual overhaul, you'll notice that each row of the train has been seperated.
aaa_nemesis_21.jpg
A look down towards the rest of the rows.
aaa_nemesis_22.jpg
In the upper level, spare ride wheels are stacked together, as well as many other spare ride parts.
aaa_nemesis_22a.jpg
Just after the final corkscrew is a tunnel. Here we're looking backwards towards the Mushroom Cloud Luxury Tours bus.
aaa_nemesis_22b.jpg
Still looking backwards, from a bit further on.
aaa_nemesis_22c.jpg

aaa_nemesis_22fa.jpg
Looking up towards the first helix, with the Monorail in the background.
aaa_nemesis_22g.jpg
As you fly perilously close to the ground, you think you'll hit the solid wall ahead - only to be flipped to the right in the tight inversion.

Again looking backwards down the track, from a bit further on.
