Nemesis Inferno


A not so subtle reply to Alton Towers...



This southern England park gets a B&M inverted of its own



It's got the same intensity of Batman



But with a custom layout



Themed around a volcano with a drop entering a crater



The station dives right off into a dark, misty tunnel, even before you get to the lift



Colossus


This is Intamin's first shot at a standard sit-down looper



I guess they figured they might as well break a record on their first try



Ten, count'em TEN inversions blows away the second place mark of 8



Here you'll find a vertical loop, cobra roll, double corkscrew...



And a quadrouple heartline roll...all four of which can be seen here



If you counted right, that's only 9. This final curve leaves into yet another heartline role



"Who cares about 10 inversions, I just want some lunch"
