Located in Forbidden Valley is the World's Most Intense Rollercoaster Experience, Nemesis. A Bolliger & Mabillard ride involving 90 seconds of up to 4g and including 4 inversions.
The Legend in brief:
During some routine maintenance in Thunder Valley in 93 workers felt a strange rumbling and were drawn to a hump in the ground. After digging blood started to spurt out of the ground. A creature was discovered which then lurched out of the ground and killed 200 men. The Ministry of Defence cornered off the area and managed to hold the beast down with 440 tonnes of steel track, which was turned into a new ride experience.
Nemesis opened in 1994 as the UK's only (and still is) inverted coaster. Every year since it has been voted the world's best Rollercoaster by many. Unlike other coasters this one doesn't slow down towards the end and will pack the punches right up to brake run. Watch out for the sneaky final corkscrew.
