Nobody knows where it came from...
Nobody knows what it wants...
There are theories and then there is legend...
NEMESIS comes from another dimension, a dimension from beyond our imagination
Its tragedy is that it has no home
It has suffered rejection throughout the solar system
It could not communicate or make itself understood
No civilisation anywhere in any galaxy would come to terms with its awesome power
Its brooding unpredictability
ITS MIND...
Bewildered and afraid
Mentally tortured by not knowing its origins
People turned against it, they fought it
They used everything against it
But NEMESIS has no fear
They were mere irritants to NEMESIS, to be swatted away like flies
It left to seek sanctuary
But it searched in vain
Unwanted, it was jettisoned towards Earth two million years ago
It has remained here ever since, drawing its energy from the Earth’s core
For centuries people were drawn to the mysterious place where it was thought to lay buried
They paid homage to the power, they brought gifts...
THEY GAVE THEIR SOULS...
Its resting place became a mystical place, a place of worship
Few pilgrims returned to lead a normal life
Such was their disturbance
Such was what the gravity of what they felt
Often these members met mysterious ends
Crazed by their findings, driven mad by the force
Some simply disappeared, leaving only their fear
NEMESIS was too disturbing
It defied scientific explanation
It was left to brood in peace
Unexplained, its existence denied
Sanctuary... at last...
UNTIL TODAY...
NEMESIS was discovered during routine maintenance work in the Forbidden Valley at Alton Towers
A group of workmen complained of dizzy spells, of an uncontrollable force drawing them towards a place where the shadows of two giant oak trees met
The force was overpowering
They were compelled to dig, to seek the source
What they discovered, defies description
For NEMESIS had been disturbed
The sanctuary it had sought for so many millions of years, broken
IT WAS AWAKE
It thrashed crazily in the Earth
Removing all before it like a giant excavator
It sent trees and small buildings hurtling skywards
Dementedly, it unleashed its anger at being discovered
Crazily, it formed a pit that you see today...
A security silence fell over Alton Towers, while archaeologists and historians nervously investigated
Eventually, they described their worst fears
THIS WAS NEMESIS...
NEMESIS had to be controlled...
It took two hundred and fifty tons of steel and two hundred men...
Not ordinary men, not ordinary steel...
Pinned down by this massive structure, it tries to escape, steaming anger
We, merely irritants ride it, fuelling its annoyance
It is controlled, but not tamed
When you ride NEMESIS
Remember its history
It is awesome
There is no comparison
This is the legend...
But don’t try to understand...
Don’t come to terms with it...
Don’t even try to think about it...
NEMESIS AT ALTON TOWERS...
SIT BACK...
ITS FAP FRIGHT TIME...
