Nemesis Reborn: General Discussion

Well, I came here following a visit to the park yesterday and felt compelled to say something.
I had 2 rides on Nemesis yesterday and I feel inclined to describe them as uncomfortable. One ride on row 7 and one on 4. Both rides I was on the left end seat (unsure if this is 1 or 4). Not sure which train, but from the experience I’d say it was 2 as I’ve seen from others that this train is the worst in terms of the much ballyhooed rattle…
Previously since March 2024 I have had many rides and always noticed the rattle in some sections, but yesterday it was from start to finish, sending vibrations through my entire body to the point I was glad when the ride was over.
This is a ride that ignited my passion for thrill rides and theme parks and I was worried we would be in this position when the retrace was announced, based on newer B&Ms, but convinced myself I was being paranoid as usual and assured myself this is not a new ride so would not be affected.
But if yesterday was anything to go by, I am worried for Nemesis’ future.

oddly enough i was there yesterday, ive only realy ridden Nembo a few times since its refurbishment, one of those being on opening day... and i must admit the ride yesterday was terrible. i remember how silky smooth it was before they pulled it down. its realy such a shame its like this, but it does tarnish the ride... ive always defended it, and hoped it would iron out, but it felt worse than i remember, theres got to be something that they can do to fix this?
 
I went on twice yesterday and it was pleasant enough but very rattly. I went on Rita 4 times and that was running very well, with no shakiness but there’s just something not quite right with this. Just a constant vibration
 
I wonder if the trains are the problem due to being designed for the old track and the axles might not be fully adapted to the new track

Could be connected, but when brand new ones in Orlando are suffering the same bad rattles and vibrations, something is not right. This video shows Phoenix Rising at Busch Gardens, opened the same year as Reborn (2024), you can even hear the vibrations in his voice at times as he speaks. His review starts at about 33min:

I have done many Inverted Coasters across the world and the most recent invert Monster doesn't have a rattle.

So I do think it is the trains as they weren't replaced. Old trains on new track don't often pair well and vice versa
 
I rode Nemesis 6 (I think?) times in July, and I didn’t find it overly rattly any time. There was one where it was maybe a bit rattly in the final turn, but other than that, I hardly found myself noticing it.

I think I rode both trains, as well as various different rows.

I’ve clearly been lucky!
 
I rode Reborn back in March twice; the first time, it had a bit of a constant rattle, but no headbanging moments like the original developed. The second time was glass smooth. It makes me think that it's a train issue, because why would track problems cause the ride to be inconsistent in terms of smoothness?
 
Bit of a longshot, but does anyone have/ know where the original 2048x1152 resolution of this photo can be found? When it pops up on google images the links do not take me to it and reverse image search is failing miserably.
