The 716-metre-long (2,349 ft) ride stands 13 metres (42.7 ft) tall and features a top speed of 81 km/h (50 mph). The four-inversion roller coaster was one of the first B&M rides to be installed outside of the United States and the first in Europe as an independent company. For the 2023 season, the ride was closed for a major refurbishment and retracking with significant overhaul of its theme. It reopened on 16 March 2024 as Nemesis Reborn.[3]
