It’s official: Nemesis Reborn is the most photographed roller coaster in the UK right now. From its dramatic new black-and-red colour scheme to the swirling alien theming that’s practically begging to be snapped, it seems like every Alton Towers visitor with a smartphone has turned into a part-time ride photographer.
But it raises a pressing question — how many photos of Nemesis Reborn is too many?
The Case for “There’s No Such Thing as Too Many”
For coaster fans, every angle matters. The lift hill looks different in morning light compared to golden hour. The corkscrew against a cloudy backdrop hits different than when the sun is blazing. And don’t even get me started on those moody mist-shrouded shots when the fog machines are working overtime.
To the hardcore enthusiasts, a camera roll filled with 372 nearly identical images of Nemesis Reborn is not excess — it’s dedication. After all, you never know which photo will become the one that makes your Instagram followers gasp or your desktop background shine.

The Case for Moderation
Let’s be honest: once you’ve uploaded your sixth photo dump in a week, your non-theme-park friends are quietly muttering, “Yes, we get it — you like the alien roller coaster.” There’s a fine line between sharing your passion and spamming your followers into muted oblivion.
Plus, Nemesis Reborn isn’t going anywhere (well, except around the track at 50mph). There’s plenty of time to build your photo archive slowly instead of going full paparazzi on day one.
The Real Answer?
Here’s the truth: if taking another photo of Nemesis Reborn sparks joy, then do it. Theme parks are about excitement, atmosphere, and those little moments that you want to capture and relive. If your camera roll becomes 90% Nemesis, that’s just proof of how much the ride means to you.
But maybe — just maybe — intersperse a few photos of your mates, your churro, or even another ride. Think of it as a palate cleanser for your audience.

So, how many photos of Nemesis Reborn is too many? Probably when your phone’s storage gives up and begs for mercy. Until then, keep snapping away — because in 10 years’ time, when the hype has settled and the next big coaster is stealing the limelight, you’ll be glad you have your own personal time capsule of Nemesis’ grand rebirth.
And if anyone questions you, just shrug and say, “What? I’m asking for a friend.”
