| | | Awesome! Notice the banking after the zero-G roll. It's slightly banked to the right, meaning there is probably going to be a wicked turn right there. Hey, how tall is this thing? Those inversions look tiny!

| | And people say Batman The Ride is as intense as they get? 
Those two completed inversions are practically sitting in the dirt! So tight, compact, and low! Looks great. |

| | | Batman the Ride is easily the most intense B&M I've been on. I had a headache after I rode it. Great ride though. Goliath is also one of the most intense coasters, and they're at the same park.
Nemesis Inferno looks really cool, but I doubt I'll make it over to England to ride it anytime soon.

| | | Very cool. Looks like it will take the best elements of B:TR and tighten them up. That will be great with themeing added to it. |

| | | That lift hill looks 70 feet tall, and the xero g looks like it is about 20 feet off the ground. What are the stats on this thing? But so far it looks fun. Cant wait to see what elements are in it. |

| | | Its cool how the best inverteds seem to all have really great themeing, Did you ever notice that they theme more inverteds than almost any other kind of coaster? I mean there's DD, B:TR (times like a hundred), Volcano, The one gio made, and now this one. This ride looks like its going to be awesome!

| | | It does look fun, but Top Gun PC is the most intense inverter I've been on.That includes Batman.But, this and Nemesis do look fun.I think Nemesis looks better so far, though.But, my fav. invert's still Alpie. |

| | | Alpengeist is my favorite steel coaster, so it's obviously my favorite invert. B:TR is second followed closely by DD Ice then Fire. Volcano was good. The launch and incline are awesome, but after that it's just zero g rolls. It would be better if it was a little bit longer and had maybe a vertical loop or cobra roll.

-4 Inversions
-Vertical loop, inline twist and two corkscrews
-Unique track run between station and lift hill
The next manuver for the ride will be a 180* swooping turn into the first of the two interlocking corkscrews, then the turnaround into the second of the interlocking corkscrews followed by a 270* clockwisd helix, a dash under the brake run then a 270* counterclockwise helix up onto the brake run.

| | | I dunno Skye, I've been on both Nemesis and B:TR, and as far as the forces go, I think that B:TR is slightly more intense. With the theming, footchoppers, and surprises, Nemesis is easily better though, and a much more emotional ride. B:TR and Nemesis are definitely the 2 most intense rides I've been on (yes, more than Goliath), and Inferno seems to be following in their footsteps. I hope I can get back to England in the near future to make it to Thorpe (and back to Alton).

- Montu
- Katun
- Nemesis
- Top Gun The Jet Coaster
And by the way, the Giovanola one at Gold Reef City is called Anaconda. |

| | | wow, I wish i could ride that thing. It looks like it's going to be intense. It may be small, but it still can pack a punch. I can't wait to see how it will look with it's themeing done.
