[2024] Nemesis Reborn: Construction and Speculation

[RyanUK]

Was just wondering when we might see a picture of the whole site without it. Some different angles and a passers-by view on the ground in Forbidden Valley would be cool too, but I don’t think we will get that. No doubt more will come, especially as the snow melts. We may get to see it without the scaffolding, who knows.

It’s interesting to see the land around it that naturally shaped itself over the last 3 decades, now without it.

And the monster cries, "I'm free from my shackles! Time to get plastered on a cold Tuesday night in Stoke!"

Impressed with how quickly they've managed to get this all done. Bar its own reliability, or lack thereof, I can't see any reason why the Monorail can't be open all season with another couple of months to go.

Me too, I thought that it would take the whole of the off-season.

I wonder when we will start to see the new track go up.

When you see a bird's eye view like that, it really highlights just how much the track is really an integral part of the monster. Just look at the tail and how it looks without the zero g and the rest of the layout?

Think the park season will see them doing the support reinforcing and other groundworks and then it'll be a similar story to this closed season, only with them installing track instead of taking it out.

They must be doing quite a bit of ground work, besides setting the foundations for the supports.

Seen this on twitter today

A bit old old track sitting behind them, next to the black skip.

Think they'll sort out the downwards helix support first, so that construction is away from the monorail columns by the time the park reopens

Has anyone ever seen a B&M coaster run without the helmets that hide the wheels? Years ago I thought it was just an extra on Inferno, but soon realised it’s what B&M do for their inverts.

One of the Nemesis trains was running without it's wheel guards a few seasons ago for quite a long period of time.

Yeah Nemesis did that once I think.

It is amazing how much those plastic covers add to the overall aesthetic of the trains.

They are fibreglass.

They are fibreglass.

Cool story, but that was not the point of the post though. The point was how the shells add to the aesthetic of the trains. However, seeing as we are decending into pedantic levels (I am guilty too!) it would be prudent of me to point out that "fibreglass is a common type of fiber-reinforced plastic using glass fiber.".

So yes, as I was saying, plastic covers.

I think they did that on Nemesis when it was very hot to help keep the wheels cooler,

Didn't seem to notice just how thin and fragile it looks without the covers over the wheels.
