It's disgusting. It's beautiful. Oh, yeah. Jesus Christ.

Welcome to Ford Your Amusement, a theme park podcast that aims to exhaustively evaluate the world's most popular theme park attractions to determine if they are world-class.

I'm Ryan Bergara.

I'm Brian Morin. And for this episode's featured attraction, we skip over the pond to discuss Nemesis Reborn at Alton Towers in Alton, England. And joining us in the alien invasion, or I guess the beast invasion, is Mike from the party from YouTube. Welcome back to the pod, Mike. Good to have you again. I'm so happy to be back here. This is so exciting. Now, Mike is here remotely, he's not in the studio. We weren't blessed with his presence physically, but we are here having it auditorily and over the interwebs. So thank you for joining us again. And as always, please like and subscribe to keep us alive. If you're watching the video version over on YouTube.com slash at FYA pod, or if you're listening to the audio version, subscribe and rate the podcast five stars, and consider supporting us on our fourth wall, which is a different version of Patreon. You can join our fourth wall and become a park hopper, as we're calling it, or as Byron calls it, an FYA hole by heading to FYAPod.com. Not only will it help us keep this madness going, but you'll also get up to three monthly bonus shows in addition to the free main show you're tuning into now. And finally, FYAPod.com is also where our merch store is, which Mike is actually wearing one of our shirts. I can't believe. That's very nice of you to support. I love it.

I wish we were, you know, rolling in the merch that we could just send you one.

Oh, no.

We purchase our own merch to be honest.

To where we have to.

But, no, thank you for doing that.

It's a lovely shot.

Everyone should buy one.

You know what?

The funny thing about that shirt is it's actually inspired by the Nemesis shirt that I'm wearing right now. Oh, because of the embroidered front. The embroidered front and the back. I was like, I love the Nemesis shirt so much. This is like, honestly, one of my favorite pieces of theme park merch I've ever bought. Luckily, I did not have to stand in the 90-minute cue that was their opening day.

Let's get into Nemesis Reborn. As always, we have our guest pick the ride that we cover. And in this particular case, it's a little interesting because Byron has not been on this ride. So when it comes to the world-class tests, it's just going to be Mike and I,

and Byron's going to be there holding court, essentially. I'm excited to learn. I'm excited to hear about your guys' experience. This is a ride I've been familiar with since it opened in the 90s.

As a little kid, I used to watch Travel Channel, and the Nemesis was oftenmesis was often featured yeah um back before i even

knew much about what went on on the other side of the pond yeah so um it's cool that you guys

got to experience it and now i get to kind of kind of get an idea of what i could be in for or maybe

uh some of our viewers and listeners can uh kind of get your impressions and well you are a true

enthusiast in the sense that you actually cover you follow the construction of this so

casually i know like we'll probably get into the history but they had a retracking done but it's

essentially been a very popular and highly regarded roller coaster since 1994.
