Revision as of 01:27, 8 August 2010

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

IT’S 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’s 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 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.
