[2024] Nemesis Reborn: Construction and Speculation

[Tunaboy45]

I for one, love the veiny look. can't wait to see it throbbing in the sun

I'd better screenshot this before The Phallus take it down.

Well there we go, Nemesis has gone vertical:

Looks slow

Well there we go, Nemesis has gone vertical:

Well then, they're not hanging about building it up!

 

[RIPCorky]

Anyone else think they might have this done before the end of the season?

 

[James]

If they manage to get the track up by the end of the season, it would be great to see it lit up in red over Scarefest/Fireworks with some smoke machines dotted around and actors.

I think if anything, theming / area updates might be the deal breaker for an early opening. Repainting the station alone took TLC 3 years (albeit with a phased approach), so could depend on how extensive MLM's plans are? That said, they might be planning on just sticking some more shipping containers about and calling it a day...

After track install is electrics and PLC install, you then have commissioning which takes months.

As others have mentioned they also will be updating the theming.

I suspect the full “structure” will be up by late summer. But it still won’t open until 2024.

 

[Craig]

Not to mention continuing footer work, staff training, the queue line and area needing to be cleaned up and the lift hill/station track needing to be stripped back and have sandblasting and repainting completed. That’s all got to go on with the restrictions from the crane working at height and the theme park operating too.

It’s their big addition/return for 2024, they’ll want the time to get it right and have a proper marketing buildup rather than open toward the end of a season.

Ignore the fact that I’ve used the wrong hashtag but more track was arriving as we were leaving the park at 4:40pm today

Now that we know the track will have the vein effect painted on, I hope this extends to a repaint and refresh of the monster and trains. I did a mock-up above but the blood red colours could really pop against a darker, less fleshy alien

 

[GaryH]

I was thinking as well just how amazing this could look at Scarefest. And I’m so glad they didn’t paint the supports red!

Be great if the trains have some red lights on them as well.

 

[Ally]

Apologies if discussed, but surely the colour scheme of the new track confirms new trains will be coming in.

I don't think that was ever in doubt, while the old trains will obviously be compatible with the new track, there's no way they would replace the full track and not get new trains. I would expect new Monster at Gronalund type trains.

 

[Dave]

Indeed there has never been a formal statement but the old trains have gone so it’s a given really.

 

[Tibble]

Not sure if it has been mentioned, but if the start of Nemesis (lift hill?) isn't being replaced won't that still be the old colour?

 

[Zeock]

Not sure if it has been mentioned, but if the start of Nemesis (lift hill?) isn't being replaced won't that still be the old colour?

Wouldn't it be repainted?

 

[NuttySquirrel]

People seem to be forgetting that paint exists!

I assume the old trains aren't in suitable condition to be refurbed and will be replaced, however I imagine it wouldn't be insurmountable to retheme them if they were reusing them. Not sure the newer-style B&M invert trains are compatible with Nemesis' profile, I think they're slightly bigger so might be a custom order for the older style.

Obviously the lift hill, brake run and most likely the Nemesis monster will be getting a retheme in line with the new track design.

 

[Poisson]

Wouldn't paint the old track on a dusty, muddy building site. I expect the rest of the track and ground works to be done before the repaint of the existing track and scenery begins.

They often put outdoor paint jobs in scaffold and tarp cages on construction sites, to keep the muck out.
