I know it's getting a bit of a mixed reaction, but personally I really like the new track scheme. It's completely unique, and follows the theme of the ride. I for one hope that they continue this throughout other areas of the ride, i.e;
- The Station gets a re-paint. Dark black with red tentacles/veins on the outside. On the inside, a freshen up - with perhaps a screen or two with a new video explaining the Nemesis story. Possibly an updated story explaining how the creature is now alive after 30 years.
- The waterfalls return in some form, how feasible this is now I do not know. I do not expect the blood river red water to return after the environmental issues it caused - but we can dream, right?
- New logo, possibly going back to the original Nemesis font - but with "NEMESIS: RE30RN" as the name. As I 100% believe we will get a new name tying it all into the 30th anniversary, along with the theme of the creature 'coming alive'.
- New theming elements. Maybe some sort of Phalanx equipment that has been taken over by the creature?

I hope there's no play on words when it comes to the name Nemesis Reborn. RE30RN would be a bit of fun next year for the 30th anniversary of Nemesis but longer term it just doesn't make any sense. It just looks a bit cheap, and means every time you type or print the coaster name anywhere is has to be in caps because Nemesis Re30rn just doesn't work.

I can't see a return to the old Nemesis logo. Given the shift in the change of track colour/thematic painting, I can see a completely new logo different to its predecessors. The creative teams want their mark on this.
I'm personally not bothered what they do with the 'RE30RN'/'REBORN' title, everyone will call it Nemesis. It would be good if they could use the 'REBORN' title for 2024 and drop it from 2025 onwards. After all, its only purpose is to make a clear point to the GP that it's a different Nemesis.

Please no...! It would be full of vloggers and attending would be irritating as hell. I can't think how "excited" some of them would be getting when the final bolt went in place too!

Exactly why they would ticket it so you could choose whether to attend or not

They could just not bother with a new moniker and call it "Nemesis"? An intense and thrilling B&M invert that could be themed around an alien monster that lived underground for centuries, who's presence was felt by ancient civilisations who pilgrimaged to the site to worship this mysterious place. During "routine excavations", the site is disturbed and the monster flung it's tentacles out to feed. These were pinned down with steel and it's these tentacles that you ride today!
It doesn't involve cookie cutter black track and a military theme. But I think it works. In fact, I think it's worked for 28 years.
Then the folks at MMM would be free to dream up a decent and original coaster of their own without ruining someone else's imaginative work with their formulaic and cringe worthy nonsense.

If that's true, wanting to mark their scent on Nemesis for their own ego isn't justification for any potential bad decisions. Although I won't judge if that's the case til it's finished.
Since the ride isnt changing theme, the focus in everything on this project should be to improve Nemesis through considered changes instead of changes for the sake of it.
As for the logo, the current one (a downloaded font) is ripe for improving and the original was a stronger brand.

But it potentially is changing theme? Was a mythical monster sprawling across a pit. Now looks likely to be a steel structure in a pit with a limbless monster in the middle and some army dudes with a helicopter, helmed by a cartoon baddie sporting a 1980's police constable moustache.

I wonder how we would react if the Phalanx theme of Nemesis had been the one that had lasted 28 years and what we know as the theme of Nemesis was replacing it after the retrack, as people are intrinsically resistant to change. There may be some nostalgia involved in not wanting the Phalanx retheme.

Thing is, we've been told by Towers themselves that the ride will remain the same physical ride experience but with a few "bells and whistles" added (not literally of course!); they're keeping the name (but may tweak it); they're keeping the general gist of the story (but tweaking it); we presume on the whole that they're keeping the general theming (but tweaking it) so it makes sense to keep the music and tweak it a bit as @Rob suggests. I'd be very surprised if we had a completely new piece of music composed like The Curse's was.
What Phalanx retheme?
Marketing and thoosie vapours.
