ah yes, the nemesis rollercoaster thread
Ah yes - I have been talking about Nemesis - someone said I must be "high" so guess you'll respond to that?

Thanks for the incredible excitement, thrills and entertainment John Wardley and Nemmie.
Absolute legends.
Can't wait till 2024.
My Honda manual recommends using Honda parts to keep it a Honda. Merlin, please don't get Gerstlauer to do the retrack to keep costs down lol.
JW and B and M for the win. Please don't change the music!

How have we got 4 threads on this forum that have gone absolutely bonkers and unreadable in the space of like a few weeks? And no, the Queue Times thread isnāt actually part of that

I wouldnāt worryā¦ Iāll be staggered if B&M arenāt used for this. Based on how adamant they seem about keeping the ride itself the same, as well as the fact that the station, brake run and lift hill are being kept, Iām almost certain that B&M will be providing the new track for this.
Iām not even sure itāll have the B&M vest restraint trains, to be honest; correct me if Iām wrong, but donāt the vest restraint trains require wider track and a wider clearance?
Even if there are some minor aesthetic changes and such, I think the bread and butter coaster experience of Nemesis is likely remaining totally unchanged and will almost definitely feel just as good as it did before when we jump back on it in 2024!

Indeed they do. Monster at Grona Lund is their newest invert and it uses the exact same style of trains that Nemesis uses.

I think the only B&M Invert to use vest restraints is Banshee, isnāt it?

Indeed yes again.
What is the cost per train? Is there a reason why they would not refurbish the existing trains to save costs?

If I had to guess, it's probably the same reason for the retrack, the structure is just at the end of its supposed lifespan and is tired.
The trains outside of a few seats and changing the covering are not too bad - new wheels on new track would be OK - woud there be a place to sell the old trains or just junked which would be a shame

I can imagine they could potentially sell pieces in the gift shops around the park. Blackpool and Drayton Manor do that with their old former rides.

Correct. It's not the track that's the problem with Nemesis it's the clearance. Vests require wider trains.
Crikey. Amazing how much more mainstream coaster geekery has become in the 20 years I've been on the scene. I didn't go but I remember seeing pics of Nemesis X and the Black Hole closure events... never thought I'd see such glossy one off productions for enthusiasts. (Yes I know it's all marketing, but still.)
Nemesis was the rollercoaster which inspired me to seek out and join Park Life (hands up who remembers that!) and ATA. It was in a class of its own compared to the coasters I'd been on before. I know now that it basically is in a class all of its own, full stop.
Incredible beast. Lets see how v2 compares.

This thread has gone crazy and I'm currently 13 pages behind. There have been a number of reports on some posts here. Considering they mostly centre around drifting off topic and/or being not overly nice to one-another, and that this seems to have self-resolved in the last few posts, can I please ask that from here on in we do in fact stay on topic and talking about Nemesis (not Efteling), and we just be kind to each other, that would be great.
Many thanks indeed.
Many thanks indeed.
