Fans of the ride were quick to share their concern, with thousands commenting on the closure, including Rebekah Graham, who said: "Nooooo that’s my favourite ride , and my dad helped me conquer my fear of roller coasters on Nemesis. It will be sad to see it go."
And Catherine Arthur, who said: "Noooooooo!!!!! That was my first ‘grown up’ ride way back in ‘94. Loved it then, love it now. Gutted."
But bosses at the theme park, which is currently hosting its annual Oktoberfest event, have confirmed that thankfully the closure will be a temporary one.

Kate McBirnie, head of product excellence at Alton Towers Resort, said: "Nemesis is Europe’s first ever inverted rollercoaster, which has been exciting thrillseekers since 1994. The legendary rollercoaster is loved by thrillseekers across the UK and beyond, and we want to give fans of the ride the opportunity to experience Nemesis in its current form before it closes on November 6."

When it comes to having a baby, one of the first challenges that all parents face is the issue of what to call their little one. Given that a name will last a lifetime, the happy yet difficult milestone is something that you want to get just right in fear of choosing a moniker that you end up hating a few years, or months, down the line. And while new parents may only have to declare their little one’s name six weeks after birth, a lot of couples prefer to take a more organised approach and stick with a name during the pregnancy itself.
Zack Sharf John Oliver said on the Sept. 19 episode of “Late Night with Seth Meyers” that it was “pretty shitty” to have his Queen Elizabeth II jokes censored by the U.K. television network Sky following the British monarch’s death. During the first episode of Oliver’s HBO show “Last Week Tonight” that aired after the queen’s passing, the host quipped that the U.K. was “reeling from the shocking death of a 96-year-old woman from natural causes.” Oliver was being sarcastic, which led Sky to censor the comment from the show. “All we said was that Britain is still mourning the shocking loss — right? — of a 96-year-old woman from natural causes. It’s literally not a joke,” Oliver told Seth Meyers about the censorship. “Scientifically, it’s not a joke. That’s just a fact with a kind of dick-ish inflection, that’s all it is. And yet they cut it out, which is pretty shitty because apparently all we’ve heard all week is the queen had this incredible sense of humor. Just nonstop. Oh, she was so funny. Seth, she was so funny. The queen, she was razor sharp.”
