The verdict

Nemesis Reborn takes it 4–2, and the 2 Vampire 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. Vampire is a steel Suspended Swinging Coaster (Vekoma floorless trains since 2002) coaster at Chessington World of Adventures, GB, built by Arrow Dynamics.

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 Vampire at 69 ft against 43 ft — nearly double.
  • Speed goes to Nemesis Reborn at 50 mph against 45 mph — clearly ahead.
  • Nemesis Reborn inverts 4 times against nothing at all from Vampire — the widest kind of gap there is on this stat.
  • Throughput goes to Nemesis Reborn at 1,200 rph against 720 rph — nearly double.
  • Build Cost goes to Nemesis Reborn at 15.2 $m against 9 $m — nearly double.
  • 34 years separate them, and because Vintage rewards age it is Vampire (1990) that banks the point, not Nemesis Reborn (2024).
