Another Naked Coaster Ride
This time at Alton Towers on the Nemisis inverted coaster. The hope to break the record just set at Alton's sister park.

An attempt to break the world record for the number of naked rollercoaster riders is due to take place at a Staffordshire theme park on Friday.
Thirty-two nude people hope to ride the Nemesis attraction at Alton Towers, in which thrill-seekers are suspended at four times the force of gravity.

A TV company is filming the stunt to mark the 50th anniversary of the Guinness Book of Records.

The aim is to beat the record set by 28 riders at Thorpe Park, Surrey, in May.

A spokeswoman for Alton Towers said managers were looking forward to the attempt and were "quietly confident".
