Nemesis Reborn, previously Nemesis, is an inverted roller coaster located at the Alton Towers theme park in Staffordshire, England. It was manufactured by Bolliger & Mabillard (B&M) and designed by Werner Stengel, from a concept by park developer John Wardley. It opened in the Forbidden Valley (formerly Thunder Valley) area of the park on 19 March 1994.
The 716-metre-long (2,349 ft) ride stands 13 metres (42.7 ft) tall and features a top speed of 81 km/h (50 mph). The four-inversion roller coaster was one of the first rides by the Swiss manufacturer B&M to be installed outside the United States, and the first in Europe as an independent company. For the 2023 season, the ride was closed for a major refurbishment and retracking with significant overhaul of its theme. It reopened on 16 March 2024 as Nemesis Reborn. Prior to its 2023 refurbishment, Nemesis was positively received by enthusiasts and the attraction industry, and it has consistently ranked among the best steel coasters in Amusement Today's annual Golden Ticket Awards. Two additional rides with the Nemesis brand were later added at Merlin theme parks.
