Nemesis: Sub-Terra

It's a great idea to add a viewing platform for the site. Looks like they had to go to extra lengths to do so but have tidied it up to not look so unsightly, good going!
Quoting for prosperity.Yes, you're missing the fact that the Sub-Terra queue line is completely separate to the platform. There is no way this much work would have progressed if it wasn't opening for another 7 months.
They've used this building a few times since Sub Terra. Keeping the queue usable just means they want to continue to have a usable queue.

They’ve used it once, for a scaremaze that lasted 2 years, out of the 8 years that it’s been shut.
It’s hard enough getting Merlin to spend money maintaining the appearance of the attractions that are open never mind spending thousands on replacing a queue for one which isn’t.
It will be done with a specific use of the building in mind, especially as work has been done inside the building (including as recently as last weekend judging by the doors being open on the photo posted yesterday).
I don't disagree. Whether or not that is Sub Terra's return, I'm less certain.They’ve used it once, for a scaremaze that lasted 2 years, out of the 8 years that it’s been shut.

You think a building has been cleaned, a separate queue line has been built and work has been going on inside for nothing? Sure. This thread is so confusing at timesNow that the viewing platform has been confirmed i dont think anything will happen with sub terra. It was a hopeful wish but i think all the work has just been to tidy the area up and make it presentable for people who pass it
There's a gap between nothing happening and Sub Terra reopening though, isn't there?You think a building has been cleaned, a separate queue line has been built and work has been going on inside for nothing? Sure. This thread is so confusing at times

To be fair I think most people have been fairly appreciative of the fact that we don’t know exactly what is happening, naturally inferences will be drawn toward NST’s reopening due to the previous use of the building.
That said, it’s difficult to see what else realistically it could be given the unique layout of that building, the fact that even if the ride hardware has been removed it clearly hasn’t been replaced with anything as it would have been noticed, and the fact that the ride’s old height measurement side was spotted outside the building yesterday.
As has been said ad infinitum it could theoretically be a scaremaze; but it would be a bit of an odd choice you’d feel.
What I am pretty certain of is that they haven’t ripped out the queuing and replaced it for aesthetics, if they wanted the place to look tidy then they could have just removed the precious stuff and jet washed the paving without installing a whole new queue line.

Context?

Yes, please provide context when posting such photos, as well as the source (unless the photo is your own). Clearly it is of N: ST but when was it taken? If it was taken yesterday then clearly it is in a state. If it was taken one or two years ago then who's to say they've not worked on it.
I'd imagine the worn seats etc. can be replaced fairly easily.

Were the pictures taken by you, or a third party. Under what circumstance was access to the ride area gained ? You could really stand to give a bit more context here - those seats could be replaced in a day if needed , for exampleImages taken recently

Don't really think the state of the seats means anything. Saying they were taken recently, how do we know this? How do we know they've not been since replaced or cleaned up?

The seats were not in much better condition when it was operating

Solid point to be fair. At least we know the ride system is still in place, despite multiple people online saying it wasn’t

No dust/dirt on the arms or surrounding areas including the restraints. The seats look bad but they are just worn that way.
Guess it must be coming back in original format with updated storyline?

Also a good point, didn’t think of that. It’s been closed for 8 years, and I know they look bad but I thought they’d look worseNo dust/dirt on the arms or surrounding areas including the restraints. The seats look bad but they are just worn that way.
