The verdict
Nemesis Reborn takes it 4–2, and the 2 Cobra does win are the whole of its case.
Cobra is a steel Bobsled Coaster coaster at Paultons Park, GB, built by Gerstlauer. Nemesis Reborn is a steel Inverted Coaster (full retrack of 1994 Nemesis) coaster at Alton Towers, GB, built by Bolliger & Mabillard.
Both are in GB, which puts them in the same conversation for anyone planning a trip there.
Both are steel-track, so nothing here is the usual steel-versus-wood argument in disguise.
Stat by stat
- Height goes to Cobra at 56 ft against 43 ft — well clear.
- Speed goes to Nemesis Reborn at 50 mph against 31 mph — nearly double.
- Nemesis Reborn inverts 4 times against nothing at all from Cobra — the widest kind of gap there is on this stat.
- Throughput goes to Nemesis Reborn at 1,200 rph against 400 rph — in another class entirely.
- Build Cost goes to Nemesis Reborn at 15.2 $m against 4.6 $m — in another class entirely.
- 18 years separate them, and because Vintage rewards age it is Cobra (2006) that banks the point, not Nemesis Reborn (2024).
