Forbidden Valley: Future Changes?

X sector is covered in grey concrete with industrial pipe stylings. FV will still be full of irregular rock formations, natural terrain and now has tentacles sprouting all over.
If black paint and a fence is all it takes to conflate them for some, you may as well say the Valley is Katanga 2 because they both have rocks and trees.
It also has a black tracked coaster in it, so it's also Dark Forest 2.0.
 
That doesn't look good, but this was what I was expecting. Hopefully, some other theming will be added to the helicopter/helipad to make it look better by opening day.
 
Never understood the love for the 'gun/drill'. If I hadn't been a member of this forum I would never of known what it was even meant to be.

I am not a big believer in everything having to be spelt out to guests or to have a backstory, but this theming piece always seemed a bit pointless to me.

If they were to add the Nemesis tentacles around it to give it more theming then I'd be willing to accept it so lets wait and see what might happen over the next few days.

I agree i usually jst walked past it without realising what it actually was. Even now i couldnt describe it to you
 
This is turning out to be a massive mixed bag for me. I really like what they have done to the monster, I also like the black and red track design.

I hate the generic fencing and the shipping containers.

I am unconvinced about the entrance feature and the helicopters seem lazy.

I'm with you on that. In the 25 years I've been riding Nemesis, I never knew what it was other than what looked like a piece of machinery and if you had asked me before now to say what it was, I'd have said it was a piece of rollercoaster (motor/gearbox etc). It was only when this refurb started that I found out what it actually was.

Thing is, they could've easily removed the gun and flattened that area over to create more space - the easy and cheaper option, so at least we have this helicopter as a piece of theming. I for one like it.
