    Can’t believe you have this video, I recorded this on VHS when I was younger, I was obsessed with Alton Towers. I lost the tape a long time ago and didn’t think I’d ever see this again.

    Great classic footage of Nemesis here. Hard to believe how fast nearly 30 years has gone by. 😢

      This is actually what happened before the famous Walter White fainting scene. He just couldn't handle Nemesis.

    so are the rotary rides with the removable floor still allowed, I guess the inertia would keep people safe if there was a power failure?

      I guess you'd slowly slide down to the floor?

      Ok so I’ve done one of those, and they are still allowed. The ride slowly comes to a stop with the floor down and you do just slide down. Guess the same would happen if their was a failure

      If ur the coaster at Wicksteed Park then I'm sorry but it's no jet star. That's a pinfarri. If ur on about the one at alton in forbidden valley then again I'm sorry to tell u that ain't no jet star 1. That's a jet star 3 or a jumbo jet. The black hole was a jet star 2.

    What year Is this?

    • @mattccross
      @mattccross  Před 6 měsíci

      I think it would've been in the 1990s, but I don't have a date.

      between '94 and '96, thunderlooper's still there.

      Probably 1994 when the ride opened.

    so rate of acceleration change = jerk seems an American term?
