[2024] Nemesis Reborn: Construction and Speculation

[RIPCorky]

Advert is great, however I thought they'd have played the new soundtrack towards the end rather than the Alton Towers tune. And surprised there isn't the usual voice saying "She's back with a Vengeance" or "Nemesis Reborn" etc. Also, why does the security guard have earphones in!! I know it's to keep up with the modern world and eventually show the earphones dropping, but, surely you can't hear much with them in! Especially as a security guard you want to be able to hear stuff lol. Anyway class advert.

It's a TV advert so it's for the GP, who won't probably know or care about the rides soundtrack

Mountain King is pretty much hardwired into the British brain as the Alton Towers theme now. Association is important in advertising

To start using it was one of - if not the - best marketing decisions in the history of the park, in my opinion.

I spent my early childhood thinking it was just their theme tune, until I got a Best of Classical CD and the rest is history haha.

Agreed, Alton Towers wouldn't be Alton Towers without ITHOTMK!
It's iconic.

She's back with a vengeance!

I am not sure what I think about that advert. Why does the security guard have AirPods in his ears?

Because it’s an advert not real true to life footage?

So he can listen to music while doing a very boring job?

The advert, very cleverly, has a number of edit points where the advert can be trimmed down without losing too much of its mini story. Can't see the park forking out for a full length TV advert too often, with a 30-45 second version (possibly skipping from the end of Alton Towers presents section through to the start of the security guard on the walkie-talkie) being used much more.

Security guard is kinda hot, I don’t blame her for taking him for a ride.

Genuinely a flawless marketing campaign from start to finish, they’ve smashed it out the park. I thought they did well with the Alton Manor marketing but this has been next level

The thing is, what they have done is not actually that expensive (other than the CGI). It shows what can be achieved with a bit of thought. It's been constantly trending on Twitter too.

Bit of a come down for that guard though. Come tomorrow morning he'll be stood under a cheap purple gazebo outside the park entrance rummaging through packets of crisps and sanitary towels inside people's backpacks.

Because it's quite a common thing to see? Where I work if a security officer wasn't listening to music and chewing gum I'd be suspicious

He's clearly vibing to Mountain King

I’m excited, and I’m not even going this year

Interesting that it’s been claimed that Merlin / Towers have requested that JW only appears in Merlin sanctioned media with regards to Nemesis - great shame if that’s true

Not that great of a loss. I’ve always admired JW but I do find he says the same things over and over on different outlets over the years… Can’t blame him for that though the man must feel like a parrot.

Interested to hear from others who were involved on Nemesis in the documentary.

ATH is marking the big occasion.
