I'm probably a sad get for thinking this, but wondering if we will know when Nemmies new track disappears from the factory in the USA and begins its long journey.

a related question to @Altonadvocate1 , I know B&M fabricate/machine their track at Clermont in the states, is there another place use in Europe or Asia or is it all from the states?
Back when Air was under construction, the trains were made in Switzerland & I am 99% sure the track came from a fabrication plant in Spain (Valencia area if memory serves me right).

Without going too off topic. I believe the rails are still bent in Europe, as they always have been, they are then married to the box frame at Claremont. As of 2004, all of the USA's B&M coasters were manufactured in the USA, rest of the world else where - that may have changed.
But. even now, I struggle to see that plant would have the capacity to manufacture all track, especially on busy years and seeing how long it takes to make a single piece of track. They have to still have other plants. Never put all your eggs in one basket.

Back to Nemesis, I would take a bet, the rails were sent over to the USA after being profiled in Europe, to be finished in the USA and then sent back to the UK.

If that's the case, Nemesis' carbon footprint is huge!Without going too off topic.

Was just watching Digital Dan's Nemesis video, and he mentioned something that's actually;l;y a good point...
We know that Nemesis: Reborn was recently trademarked (the name of course and not the font yet, this is just an example), and if you look closely the "b" and "o" could resemble a "3" and "0" respectively to make "30".

Signs are being put up alongside the viewing platform. The poster on the right hand side has very similar wording to Sub Terras pre show, as a note.

And now we have a new video, showing the new track and what looks like veins on it? Or tentacles

Oh this is great. To put my geek hat on again - the original track had the appearance of being calcified, it wasn’t immediately obvious whether the monster was alive or dead. As the monster is being “Reborn” it makes sense to look more obviously alive. Nemesis sleeps for a year and re-emerges in a different form, love it love it love it

Now you mention it, it has a lot of war of the worlds about it!. I’m hoping the supports have some detail on them too but I don’t want them to over do it with the veined look. Maybe just a worn look on the supports like the original paint job would be better.
