I don't hide my love for Rita and I have to say that Ritas launch is much better and shocking than Nemesises helix. Sorry but im a Rita fanboy, not a nemesis fayboy.

^You would, as elements, neither float my boat. BUT on Nemmie, the footchopper and power of it is special and excellent on or off the ride. I have ridden Kingda Ka and Rita. 128 vs 62. Yeah.

Why the f*ck is there even a debate on this . Nemy's helix teabags the launch of Rita. The helix is one of the best parts of the ride , entering that insane helix and pulling 4.5g before going through a zero g roll and experiencing no gravity with the amazing terrain and over the station is mindblwoing . Rita's launch is "meh" but its nothing compared to the f*cking UK king of coasters NEMESIS .... that helix is orgasmic. NEMESIS helix wins hands down !!!!
Well, that's certainly one of the most reasoned arguments I've ever seen in my time here 
I can kind of see the reason for the comparison, but it's obviously just wrong.
With Rita, the launch is the "setup" to the rest of the ride. The surge of adrenaline from the launch heightens the pretty short and lacklustre layout that follows. Without the launch, Rita is nothing.
However, the helix on Nemesis is part of the overall ride experience, not the major input into it. The helix improves Nemesis as part of the overall ride whole (and it's probably the highlight), but it's still a solid ride with out it.
In terms of forces, they feel completely different so you can't compare them. It's like apple-pie flour vs. cherry-pie cherries.
