[2024] Nemesis Reborn: Construction and Speculation

[Steve74]

Thank god, I was there a couple of weekends back and was concerned that it hadn’t even been washed and still had moss and algae all over it.

My guess is they left it until the initial testing was completed just in case they needed to do work on the lift hill.

Have they installed a new arch? I don't recall seeing any photos of it yet.

I'm pretty certain you can see the groundwork taking place in @Danny's recent FV Update. If you look at the entrance of Forbidden Valley you can see the Stag vehicle has been moved and there's some working going on around the path where it normally sits.

What's FLACS?

FLAC is an audio codec for lossless compression. Theoretically it's a high quality way of storing digital audio, though WAV/BWAV still remains the standard for uncompressed audio. It can be a bit of a misnomer though, a FLAC generated from an MP3 is not suddenly going to improve in audio quality. It's a crap in crap out process. Provided the FLAC files he's referencing were generated from the master track, then they'd be high quality... But if course there's no need for Alton Towers to use a compressed version of the music, they'd likely be using the master track, which would inevitably be a WAV. That's me being a bit pedantic though.

Hi, new here but just walking past the site and spotted this, don’t think I’ve seen this yet? New themeing element going in?

This looks like it could be the frame of the Eye

 

[Nerdsticks]

Oh no, the Dung Heap is coming back!

 

[jon81uk]

Also the WD40 can has moved on from Sub-Terra!

 

[BarryZola]

Part of the old loop covered in 'stuff'? Wild guess.

 

[Danscott22]

It definitely looks like framework for the eye, looks kinda similar to what we see on the artwork

 

[Ethan]

I take it Nemesis won’t have a single queue. Shame I’d lap it all day long

 

[Danscott22]

I think it's the teeth actually and not the eye, but I'm not 100% sure seeing it at a different angle

 

[Haz]

they are the monsters teeth the first half are being craned in now they seem to differ from the videos being black instead of chrome as well.

You’ll still be able to most days once the initial rush has passed, It used to be walk on almost daily by the latter stages of the day.

I miss lapping nemesis first thing and last thing of the day

Now we can say, "My, my what big teeth you have Nemesis!"

Problem is now though that you’ll have to walk around a lot more queue. I don’t re ride Wicker even when it’s straight into the pre show because walking around that queue repeatedly is tedious

Forgive me if it's common knowledge, but where will that be going, or is this something new?

It looks very cool. I can't picture how it'll look, but I'm very excited to see such a large installation going in!

 

[Ripsaw97]

I think its the outer shell for the eye that will be at the front of the station...i think

Ahhh, I didn't even know an eye was going there, shows how much attention I pay haha. Thank you! That'll look awesome.
