If anything, it would be replaced with an identical ride, just replace the track and supports and the ride hardware. I still can't see anything put in its place which would top it.

They forgot to return the extended warranty back in 1994 so now the only option is for people on summer holidays to guess what's wrong with the coaster and condemn it to the scrapheap.

Did they really forget to return the extended warranty?

I think I was being a bit harsh on Nemesis, compare the ride to Colossus at Thorpe Park and Nemesis feels brand new. Nemesis is not the smoothest ride anymore but it is not painful.

To be fair there isn't a coaster in the world as painful as this thread.

Yes, they did Matt. It was a pretty silly mistake for Mr. Tussaud to make but we've all done it at some point or another. Usually with a toaster or a hoover instead of a multi-million pound coaster but the same rules apply.

Fair enough; we all forget things!
No ride at towers is rough as such tbh. Yes there's the odd jolt on the smiler but it's nowhere near as bad as enthusiasts make it out. I was on back row yesterday and it wasn't bad. Smoother towards the front yes but I wouldn't class it by any means rough.
Anyone witness this?

Would hardly call the lift hill “left hanging” usual Sun making it sound worse than it is.

Everything fine on The Smiler
Today guests were left safely waiting on the lift hill as the ride performed exactly as designed.
An eye witness reported the car stopped on the lift hill for twenty minutes until engineers reversed the train and evacuated all guests. Later the guests were seen walking around enjoying themselves and carrying on with their day.
Hugh Cares was one of the guests left waiting. "We were on the train going up the lift, then it stopped. Later it moved and we got off. I was slightly peeved off as I fancied some fried chicken but had to wait for it"
Not at all like the incident in 2015
Reports suggest everything was completely normal and this was a routine stoppage, like those that happen at every park every day, and therefore there's no point us mentioning the collision in 2015 as that would be completely irrelevant.
The Smiler, the world's first 14 looping coaster, opened in 2013.

My overly presumptions mind is wondering if it’s market research to find the least popular for the next SW site.

Gonna call it now. Too expensive to maintain so Nemesis is left to rot in it's pit for a few years before eventually being teared down and replaced by an upcharge cut and paste midway attraction. Then blaming it's closure on negative guest feedback.
RIP in peace Nemesis x
I voted 10 out 10 for Nemesis and 6 out of 10 for Rita.
Well, i don't think it will be an upcharge, but it's possible it'll be the site for a new SW.
The park finds it's much easier to get planning permission on sites that have already got rides on them.
If you're right then it's up to Nemesis (or Rita) fans to vote. I have.

Mmmmmm perhaps the guy was correct earlier with the 2020 map leak. Nemisis : bounce back the world's first bouncing inflatable In a pit. You heard it here first it's the future of theme parks (like VR coasters)
