  • Today has been a LONG day riding nemesis all day at Alton Towers as I try to beat the Theme Park Worldwide Nemesis Challenge recorded for Nemmy's 25th Anniversary back in 2019. Welcome to this insane Nemesis all day challenge!
    After an E-Stop, heavy weather conditions nearly closing the ride, reducing the number of trains operating now and again and even my own chronic fatigue threatening to halt proceedings, we managed to persevere from 10am until 4pm.
    I really hope you guys enjoyed this rollercoaster marathon.
    With Shawn staying for the late-night riding I really had to run around and as far as spending time creating quality content, well, that thought didn't even cross my mind so I hope you can appreciate and enjoy the madness regardless.
    Watch Shawn's Original Alton Towers Nemesis Challenge here - • Theme Park Challenge: ...
    I also want to deeply thank the Alton Towers staff who allowed me the couple extra re-rides and especially to Glenn who knew what my target to hit was all day and spoke to the ride ops to let me stay on the ride after closing until it was hit. Legend!
    I also want to give a shout-out to Jay, to the Scottish man and his family and to the blue poncho tribe (we’re clearly not on first name basis) who did a few re-rides with me.
    It was a strange feeling leaving Forbidden Valley at Alton Towers at the end of the day as I hadn't been anywhere else in the park all day!
    If the rumours are true and Nemesis does get an overhaul and is out for a season soon it's safe to say I've certainly got my rides worth out of it in the 2021 season!

      I am Batman LOL - I rode it 64 times in a day about eight years ago - never knew it was a record really, I just considered my day out at Alton Towers as just a bit odd - back when I did it they had single rider queue available so I was getting off the train, exiting the station, and usually getting back on the same train - I really miss SRQ and indeed haven't been to the Towers since they removed it from Nemesis. Talking about the Big Dipper...I rode with Richard Rodrigues as part of his marathon at Blackpool in 2000...I just did 2000 minutes compared to his 2000 hours, but riding all night non-stop was such a unique experience (if a little wet and uncomfortable) - well done in sharing this weird record!

      The Big Dipper experience was just crazy - I loved the daytime riding (there were four of us doing it as a charity fundraiser) and we were allowed to eat and make calls on the ride, and also rode with the lapbar tied in the up position! Night time however it rained and the tarpaulin over my seat leaked so it was a rough and wet night...I got to know and feel every bump on that ride but it was really great fun.
