Nemesis Reborn vs Stealth

Vintage is the reversed stat — the older ride wins. Every number here is the same one printed on the card; see /methodology for how Build Cost and Throughput are sourced.

The verdict

Stealth takes it 4–2, and the 2 Nemesis Reborn does win are the whole of its case.

Nemesis Reborn is a steel Inverted Coaster (full retrack of 1994 Nemesis) coaster at Alton Towers, GB, built by Bolliger & Mabillard. Stealth is a steel Accelerator Coaster coaster at Thorpe Park, GB, built by Intamin.

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 Stealth at 205 ft against 43 ft — in another class entirely.
• Speed goes to Stealth at 80 mph against 50 mph — a long way clear.
• Nemesis Reborn inverts 4 times against nothing at all from Stealth — the widest kind of gap there is on this stat.
• Throughput goes to Nemesis Reborn at 1,200 rph against 1,000 rph — well clear.
• Build Cost goes to Stealth at 22.1 $m against 15.2 $m — a long way clear.
• 18 years separate them, and because Vintage rewards age it is Stealth (2006) that banks the point, not Nemesis Reborn (2024).
