Nemesis: Sub-Terra

[Squiggs]

I don't think it was unreliable per se.

It wasn't really one of those rides that would frequently go up and down during the course of a day. It was more like Hex - pretty reliable most of the time, but when it went down, it tended to be down for a long time. i.e. days/weeks (certainly during its final seasons)

Surely if it wasn’t going up and down frequently that’s the definition of unreliable for a drop tower?

Do we think this ride is potentially opening?

Poor old sarcasm, the struggle is real.

Yes I was obviously joking and was hoping someone would mention staff room/WD40.

New sign.

Well that’s a downgrade.

Oh that's where it was, been looking for that to do Thirteen, after clearing the mould in The Smiler!

Don't think it helps the scaffolding was made for the old sign, not the new one.

I agree but that is the least effort for a sign of a ride I’ve seen in a while. Even a black background to make it stand out would be nice.

 

[Danscott22]

Don’t like it

I agree. The new sign is too 2D and minimalistic.

 

[Danscott22]

It just looks a bit too temporary looking?

 

[James]

Oh dear, a Leek Signs special.

Could MMM not find some spare money to make a better sign?

Huh...must have spent all the budget for the season for both Alton Manor and Sub Terra and they could only do this as they had no other choice? Maybe it is temporary until they get a permanent replacement when Nemesis reopens next year?

Actually, what happened to the original Sub Terra sign? Is is lying round somewhere backstage and could they done something with it?

I wouldn’t think so, it has been 8 years. Surely they got rid of it?

 

[Danscott22]

Just seen a comment of someone online thinking the fact the entrance sign is 2D means Sub-Terra will close at the end of 2023. Which is a bit ridiculous imo. And a stretch. I know I've just said the sign looks temporary looking but I just meant the sign, not the whole ride

 

[identificash]

It is probably temporary when you look at the other entrances/signs at the park even curse, another dark ride, has a nice entrance/sign.
