Nemesis Thorpe Park

Adrenaline junkies will love the exciting momentum before the ride even begins! Families will queue up the rocky mountainside which leads to the heart of the volcano. This immersive theme is created by lush foliage and tropical-esque decor. It makes your wait time that little bit more magical before you board your highly-anticipated carriage…

Buckled in? The ride spits you out alongside the hot lava surrounding you – so make sure you’re strapped in tightly! The whole ‘make your escape’ element adds up to a high quality experience. The whole set of the ride is aided by the foliage and rockwork surrounding the area, creating a really immersive and brilliant ride experience. It also ticks some of the ‘dark ride‘ boxes too, as you begin your adventure in the depths of an active volcano.

The near-two-minute ride is a quick burst of eye-widening, jaw-clenching, and scream-tastic fun. It’s the only inverted theme park ride at Thorpe Park, so you should savour every earth-shattering moment… Prepare to be propelled through 750 metres of twisted steel track, at speeds of up to 50mph, while your legs dangle freely. Just make sure to swerve the flying lava…

Nemesis Inferno’s main theme is centred around an erupting tropical volcano. Look around you and see all the different features of the jungle theming. What sounds can you hear? What wild plants are growing around you but more importantly how do you get out?!

Guests will begin their trek up the side of a rocky mountain as if they were explorers. To your horror, you’ve ended up at the heart of an active volcano – what will you do? The only way out is up…and down… and up again… and then through a few more inversions… Good luck!

Kids will love the rush, excitement and fun intensity of this wild adventure, from start to finish.

his iconic thrill ride includes 4 inversions! FYI: Inversions are elements of a ride in which the track turns riders upside-down and then returns them to an upright position. That’s a lot of looping, swooping and of course, screaming – how fun! 

The ride has a time span of 1 minute 43 seconds long so it’s a real whirlwind of an experience! You can expect other crazy roller coaster features like a tunnel, Chain Lift Hill, Loops, Zero-G Roll, and Interlocking Corkscrews! Pretty gnarly if we do say so ourselves…

This must-ride coaster is made up of 2 trains with 7 cars per train. Riders are arranged 4 across in a single row for a total of 28 riders per train.

The Nemesis Inferno ride at Thorpe Park is located near Detonator and Derren Brown’s Ghost Train. You can find it on the Thorpe Park map here.

The Nemesis Inferno opened in 2003. Later on, Nemesis Inferno’s sister ride, Nemesis: Sub-Terra was born at the Alton Towers Resort. Both steel roller coasters were created by Bolliger & Mabillard. Both rides have awesome intensity with Alton Towers’ Sub-Terra being a slightly more sinister ride than Inferno.
