Looking at Nemesis from Air's lift hill.

A wider shot of Nemesis and the Forbidden Valley from Air.

The Operator's control panel in the station.

Part of the console, notice the "themed" buttons - these trigger the breakdown/weather announcements around the ride area.

A train sitting in the station.

Looking up Nemesis' lift hill.

Looking back at the start of Nemesis' lift hill.

From halfway up the lift hill, we have a look at the loop and stall turn.

The Nemesis lift hill gives a nice view on the ride circuit, as well as Air in the distance.

At the top, looking back down the lift hill.

Closeup of the top of the lift.

The first drop, seen from the lift platform.

Once again looking back down towards the station.

The first Corkscrew, seen from the lift hill.

And again.

The Computer Room underneath the station.

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.

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.

Some replacement restraints from Bolliger & Mabillard.

This controls the music around the ride.

The Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) for Nemesis.

More B&M circuitry.

A closeup on part of the previous.

Looking out of the computer room.

Looking at the front of the station from the lift platform.

A train in the station, viewed from the brake run.

Looking at the train from the entrance to the Maintenance Shed.

The other train in the Maintenance Shed.

Looking back down the Nemesis brake run.

Inside the Maintenance Shed, we go to the upper level and take a look.

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.

A look down towards the rest of the rows.

In the upper level, spare ride wheels are stacked together, as well as many other spare ride parts.

Just after the final corkscrew is a tunnel. Here we're looking backwards towards the Mushroom Cloud Luxury Tours bus.

Still looking backwards, from a bit further on.

This is the view Nemesis riders will be familiar with - looking forwards out of the tunnel.

Further up the hill, and you can see Nemesis' final turn ahead.

Just prior to the final barrel roll, the track swoops down underneath the exit ramp.

From underneath the exit ramp, looking back down the track.

Looking up towards the first helix, with the Monorail in the background.

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.

In the mid-ride tunnel, looking out in the direction that the trains head.

Looking back towards the vertical loop.

Looking at the loop from the other side of the tunnel.

One of the fastest parts of the ride, just before the loop.

Looking up at Nemesis' vertical loop from beneath.

The drop before the loop.

Now facing in the direction that the trains go, into the tunnel after the loop.

Looking towards the tunnel from a different angle.

Further up the hill, again looking at the drop before the loop.

This is the section of track immediately following the inline twist over the station.

From up the hill, looking back towards the vertical loop and the inline twist.

A look at Nemesis' final turn from Air's lift hill.

Again from Air's lift hill we look towards Nemesis. In this shot you can see a lot of the ride circuit.

The final corkscrew and the "Mushroom Cloud Luxury Tours" bus.

At the top of Air's lift hill, looking down at Nemesis' final turn.

From the same spot, looking at where Nemesis exits the tunnel just before the final bend.

Looking across towards the first corkscrew, vertical loop, and barrel roll over the station.

You can see quite a bit of the Forbidden Valley from here.
