The verdict
Colossus takes it 5–1, and the 1 Nemesis Reborn does win is the whole of its case.
Colossus is a steel 10-Inversion Coaster coaster at Thorpe Park, GB, built by Intamin. 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 Colossus at 98 ft against 43 ft — more than double.
- Speed goes to Nemesis Reborn at 50 mph against 45 mph — clearly ahead.
- Colossus takes Inversions 10 to 4.
- Throughput goes to Colossus at 1,300 rph against 1,200 rph — clearly ahead.
- Build Cost goes to Colossus at 20.3 $m against 15.2 $m — well clear.
- 22 years separate them, and because Vintage rewards age it is Colossus (2002) that banks the point, not Nemesis Reborn (2024).
