Weird how he stresses when and if the work happens, then goes on to say, it will be safe for another 30 years.

The last bit being old news of course, as that was pretty obvious when the planning applications went in, providing construction starts of course.

Yes but if they have planning granted surely it means it can happen at any point within a set time period?

I still see it happening next year, but you never know.

What I think is clear though is that there is a lot of planned investment. He raves about John 2, hopefully we're in safe hands with this guy

It does, but it does not guarantee it happens either.

That said, I very much doubt that is the case. Nemesis is getting re tracked, I think JW sort of backtracked when he said "when and if" it happens.
 
I was making chat with the ride batcher or whatever you would call it whilst waiting in single rider (edit: for smiler) that he said (just a rumor) nemesis might be closing within the next couple weeks.

So anyone going soon make sure to get a couple rides in just in case, obviously take with a pinch of salt, I was once told by a ride operator at drayton they were replacing apocalypse with a 300 foot drop tower.
However he did also say that Drayton was getting 3 new rides in 2022 so you never know.

I very much doubt they'll close it without some fanfare ahead of the end of the season, unless there is a maintenance issue which would be prohibitively expensive to fix and would be replaced in any case by the retrack/refurb.
 
Nah I told my friends after and they weren't convinced either, can't say I am either, however that is what the staff member said, he did specify that it was just a rumor too.

I had a few rides on nemesis imo it's still running well, it's not having excessive down time so I can't see why it can't make it through until the end of the season.

Otherwise scarefest and fireworks will struggle, but thought I'd put it out there I was told this just in case.

Plus would they really want Duel, Nemmy and Hex down for Scarefest? Not convinced.

They probably wouldn’t, no.

Although they did have Smiler and Rapids down last Scarefest, which didn’t seem to affect things too badly, from what I remember.

Rapids tends to run with around half of boats filled in October anyway, I suspect there was an element of prioritising resources with that downtime since it takes so many staff to keep it running. By all accounts Smiler was down because they literally couldn't get the parts to have it working rather than any kind of choice.

Hex was down last Halloween as well, was it? It must be having some real issues, then…

It was open just before the half term, no idea about closer to the big day itself though.

If Nemesis is to close before the season is out, it's going to be really interesting - and probably quite stressful visiting the park with a major coaster down and two indoor supports shut as well. With it being one of the busiest times of year, you'd hope Nemesis would stay open - it also seems like the sort of thing they'd want to announce prior as well. But then again, Duel hasn't had anything aside from a sign out back.

Don’t forget though that last year during the October half term period (and on through to the end of the season) you had a major coaster (The Smiler), down as well as both Hex and Congo River Rapids.

That’s maybe broadly similar in terms of the effect it would have on queues in the rest of the park to how it would be if Nemesis, Hex, and Duel were all down, though obviously the Smiler last year wasn’t a planned closure like Nemesis would be.
