Nemesis: Sub-Terra

It is the same ride as the drop in the Dungeons though isn't it, so the bare bones of the ride are quite common aren't they?
...I've only done the dungeons twice, which was once too many.
Same with sealife, no repeat value for me, just sad fish in glass bxes.

It’s not the same ride as London Dungeons as that’s a powered drop, N:ST was free fall.
 
I stand corrected, just similar then.
I've only done the Blackpool drop...I trust that is the same as the london one?

The hardware is similar but the ride experiences are completely different.
 
Yeah I mean it wasn't perfect and they got some finer details wrong but it was miles better than the Dungeon drop rides.

I have some hope they have reworked the pre show and post show now to make a complete experience.
 
I’ve said this before but it really wouldn’t take much work to fix it.

Shorten the pre show. Keep the lift sections (both before and after).

Keep you sat around the egg for longer and do it more like extraTERRORestrial before the drops.

Ditch the scare maze but have something else there so you don’t just exit to bright sunshine.

Given how they’ve reworked Duel into Curse and that Burton seems to know what he’s doing I think we should give them a little more faith.

Pretty much exactly my thoughts on how they could improve it as well.

The thing is that it likely wouldn’t take anywhere near the level of creativity or investment as it took to turn Duel into the Curse either, the majority of what would improve the ride is, as you say, bringing it more in line with the alien ride which basically involves more dark elements, more feeling like there’s something moving around the chamber and making you feel vulnerable, obviously additional effects etc would help with that (and would probably be required to some extent,) but I can’t see as it would need major surgery as Duel did.

Main thing they need to ditch is getting the staff to shout at guests.

I believe it is a good filler attraction and so do many others I know who did it at the time (we don’t like many flats because of there motion that makes you sick) this ticked the box nicely from constant rollercoasters…that also made us feel sick

Also we liked the staff in character and we said uk parks lack actors on rides, we thought it was quite fun.

Military operations don't consist of shouting like that though. Every time I've been on a base they've been nothing but polite and respectful, as I was to them. You can have the staff in character but that doesn't have to mean trying to humiliate a queue of riders.

Karen’s bar is probably the most popular restaurant franchise at the minute. it appears people loved to be shouted at? And people love to film these things now so great for social media advertising!

Yeah but how many of those bases had alien eggs for observation?

Got to compare apples with apples.
 
The shouting staff was my main gripe with Sub-Terra. Overall I enjoyed the ride/experience apart from the staff in the pre-show.

It just didn’t fit for me, the shouting didn’t make sense, on my rides I saw very few people laughing and some staff took it too far with insulting guests.

On one ride a staff member kept insulting a guests appearance, the guest looked like they wanted to punch the staff member, no one was laughing, everyone looked like they couldn’t wait to leave, complete silence… very awkward. Not the best way to start off a themed experience!

I would be very glad to see that aspect of the ride scrapped.
 
Yes I think if any part of it can not return, I’d be happy with that. Just send people in the pre show and have a themed announcement telling them to watch the screen
 
The new story line should be:
After the Nemesis’s eggs hatched the facility has been off limits for the past 8 years and once again your presence is needed for tests.
After you walk into the main room the egg is gone but there’s a monster trapped in a cage. Then like last time you drop and you see more of the monsters then as you raise back up the monster gone and you run for the exit where the original monster is in the exit tunnel trying to get you.
