[2024] Nemesis Reborn: Construction and Speculation

[Trooper Looper]

Someone on Twitter suggested that the last line of words read 'Towers' on it, and, I can see where they're coming from on that.

If someone on twitter said it, then it must be gospel...

Nah it definitely doesn't say Towers. It says "Tcox-something".

I think the black track looks dope.
Just me?
Alright then.

 

[Rick]

It'll be reet.

Has anyone realised that if this is Nemesis' new track then the themed track on the Nemesis station will be getting that repaint into black then?

I won't belive it until that black track is bolted into place.

 

[Zeock]

On a geeky side note, this also confirms that “IC-D” was the track code for the original Nemesis…

That's really interesting! (although for non-geeks, it would definitely not be so)

Wibble and froth.

What happened to the old days of sending letters to those in the know and complaining they knew nothing.

Are you admitting to being one of Andy Hine's harassers?

Lads and Lassies, are we sure this is the actual Nemesis track or mistaken identity? I'm too drunk right now to work out if I'm actually seeing new track or if this is a mirage.

Well, the truth is, no one knows yet. I've got a feeling it is, but we'll find out eventually.

As has been said, it's almost certainly the final coat as you can see the grey primer on the ends. Time will tell though.

Correct. . .

I was going to say it's definitely not just an undercoat or it would match the ends.

Mating surfaces don't receive coatings like the exposed surfaces do, it can cause issues over time.
(Next time anyone has an alloy off on their car look at where they bolt to the hub, it will be raw alloy)

It's 2023 now, a year without Nemesis.

The person who took the photos also did a video, and the track’s shipping label in that area has IC-DR on it… it’s Nemesis, folks!

(Well, it technically says IC-Dr, but that’s close enough to assume that it’s the Nemesis retrack rather than an unknown new ride…)

Wow, this is confirmation then! I am honestly very disappointed but hopefully I can get used to it.

 

[Zeock]

The planning application says quite clearly that the track will remain visually the same.

It will not be a black track.

Can we please not have 10 pages discussing something that has already been confirmed...

Double post but some comments do not age very well. Can't blame @James though, I didn't think it would be black track either.

 

[QTXAdsy]

Black track and possibly supports too, well Towers...

What a crap way to begin the year on. How worse can they make it other than making the station purple?

 

[BarryZola]

It's just a track. Who gives a damn what colour it is, really? It'll make a nice change from the last couple of decades anyway. Happy new year, anyway

You'll be suprise how a difference in colour as well as Merlin's typical black colour that everyone is fed up with can set people off...

Black track is admittedly an interesting and surprising choice, but it could look quite stylish once it’s up, even if I’ll digress that Nemesis having any track colour besides the white/earthy tone of the last 28 years is a strange thought…

Also, wouldn’t black track technically fit the “Nemesis lore” quite well depending on which interpretation of it Towers uses? One version of it had the track being the steel pinning down the monster… so wouldn’t black track be quite fitting, if that were to be the case?
