I discovered the other day I’ve never shared our opinions on the most popular enthusiast debate. Of course, it’s Nemesis VS Nemesis Inferno. They share the same name & manufacturer & ride type therefore it’s an obvious comparison right? This is something which I reckon will never end nor will there ever be a right conclusion as we all think differently. That’s what makes this hobby fun! I thought I’d share our take on this rather popular debate.
Pros / Favourite Elements Of Both:
I’ll begin with talking about the positives of both. Let’s start with Nemesis Inferno. The one thing which instantly springs to mind is the pre section before the lift. That adds something rather special to this ride in my opinion. I know it’s so simple and such a basic section of the ride but when the mist & lights are on in the tunnel it’s great.
Nemesis Inferno also has the added advantage of the height. It’s one of those which doesn’t look all that high off ride but when your heading of the lift into the first drop it always throws me how high it is. It often gives me a proper rush looking at my feet dangling from what feels like an enormous height.
Nemesis the OG beast. The intensity immediately springs to mind. It offers some of the most intense moments we’ve experienced on a coaster so far. The downwards helix is a beast. Not to forget the insanely fab throughputs too. I find Nemesis is always so easy to ride. By this I mean I never even think twice about going for a ride on it whereas Inferno if the queue is anywhere above 20 minutes I won’t even touch it.
Cons:
The thing I love most about the OG is something which I always don’t always enjoy. That’s the intensity. Sometimes if I’m in a more chill mood rather then wanting an intense ride then begins to feel like a choir to ride. Last season I had some rather rougher and bumpy rides on the outta seats.
Nemesis Inferno the main downfall I find with this coaster is the throughputs. I have no idea why but it always feels so much slower then Nemesis. I think there’s one row of difference which surely wouldn’t impact it as much as it does. Another negative is it always seems far too short. It’s almost as if your getting to the best parts for it to finish. I wish it was that little bit longer. Ps don’t quote me on any stats it’s just simply how it feels to me!
Which Is Better?
I feel they both equally have positives & negatives. Personally I can’t choice between them. So I’ll have to say they are both fab. They both are the same ride type as each yet offer completely different ride experiences. Therefore I enjoy them for their own reasons. Both rows I often judge by when comparing a coaster are (back & front) two of our favourites on both. Therefore we love them equally.
Which do you prefer?
