[2024] Nemesis Reborn: Construction and Speculation

[Dobba]

More track for the first drop has been moved to the same holding spot that the corkscrew was sitting last week. I imagine they'll be aiming to have the track installation completed by the end of the week.

So who wants to bet if the last piece is going to join up and bolt together nicely with the lift hill or if they are going to have to give it a bit of gentle encouragement like they did for the Smiler?

Will they have a British and Swiss flag attached on the final track going into place?

And American given that is where the track is fabricated!

Ah yes very true! Actually I quite like this tradition of some coasters of having a flag being attached on the very last bit of track going into place.

But American coasters do not fly the flag of countries where their non B&M track is fabricated. So why do it here?

IIRC, I remember when BPB were building Infusion, they attached the last track piece on with a British and Dutch flag hanging on the track so it has happened before in this country. Actually has this happened elsewhere in the country?

Didn't Europa Park did something similar recently?

 

[Zeock]

I don't care either way regarding the flags. It's a non-issue.

The Dutch flag representing the country that the manufacturer comes from, not where the track was manufactured. I stand by what I said.

 

[John_P]

Towers themselves put up these flags when they reached the tallest point of the Wickerman build.

 

[James]

I imagine for the last piece of track for Nemesis 2.0, we will see a Phalanx flag as well.

Towers will likely release another Phalanx video with mr spokesperson making another appearance.

I suspect it will fit to whin a millimetre.

Me too. All of the original drawings, measurements, plans and fabrication details will still exist and the original manufacturer are doing the retrack. I’d be very very very surprised if this doesn’t fit exactly. The only slight issue potentially being any movement or warping of the last piece of the lift, but I’d suspect that’s been measured and examined. This is a hugely complex and major project, they won’t have left anything to chance. Didn’t Wardley recall a story about the original build when he asked Claude about pull through testing and potential stalls etc and Claude replying “our coasters don’t stall”. B&M are known to be perfectionists. The recent support replacement for Fury should show how detailed they are - it fitted exactly and the ride had minimal downtime considering the significance of the issue. Imagine if that was an Intamin or Gerstlauer? I’m going with the Nemesis build fitting exactly.

doe's anyone think the garage will get a lick of paint?

 

[lee2804]

Tbh ive been amazed how exact the veins have matched up over the whole track that to me shows the care they are taking with this retrack/theme.

 

[Dobba]

Just the left turn remains uninstalled now.

Does anyone else think the layout looks different from before, only to check and find out that it is exactly the same and that I’m the delusional one now?

 

[Archie]

I hope it gets something done with it, its always looked a bit out of place

 

[mo237]

It'd be cool to see it look like some sort of lil Phalanx outpost - maybe it could be done up to look like it's the creatures life support/monitoring outpost that's succumbed to the tentacles of the beast.

 

[Jb85]

I like it the way it is personally. A link of green paint will do it ;-)
