Nemesis Sub-Terra

Nemesis Sub-Terra is a dark ABC Rides drop tower in Forbidden Valley that takes the Nemesis story underground.

Nemesis Sub-Terra is more than a bare drop tower. Guests descend into a Phalanx facility where the Nemesis story plays out through darkness, tension, effects and a short drop. The attraction works best because you never quite know what is happening inside the bunker.

Notes

TowersTimes lists ABC Rides Drop Tower, an opening on 24 March 2012, a reopening on 27 May 2023, a 23-foot drop, 1,200 riders per hour and a 3-minute duration. The experience includes Phalanx pre-shows, a lift simulation, a seated drop around the Nemesis egg and an evacuation and decontamination scene. Coasterpedia also confirms ABC Rides Free Fall Tower and the 24 March 2012 opening; capacity figures vary, so the previously used TowersTimes capacity remains in place.

Theming

A Forbidden Valley dark ride built around Phalanx, underground Nemesis containment and an alien egg at the centre of the story.

Typical wait time: around 10 min.

It usually falls between 5 min and 15 min.

See more than 15 min? It is probably busier than usual — consider a quieter moment.

Less than 5 min? You are in luck: that does not happen often.
