Nemesis: Sub-Terra

As a reminder, please keep posts on the forum constructive.

If you've been told something, summarise in one post the information that you have. If you're unable to say, then say so in the post, rather than this back and forth of questions and answers with additional info as it disrupts the flow of discussion. Thanks.

I know something you don’t know…​

It’s very likely as you spend time within the enthusiast community that you may find things out that aren’t public knowledge. If you know something and it won’t cause issues for what you feel is a reliable source in revealing it, then by all means feel free to post about it. However please bear in mind that there could be reasons it’s not public knowledge and may get the source of your information into trouble, especially if they work in the industry. If in doubt, check with them beforehand!

If you have got some information and you don’t want to post it because it’ll get that person into trouble then it’s very simple – just keep quiet! Posts that simply allude to you knowing something without revealing that information just comes across as boasting to other members and add nothing of value to the discussion. As a result such posts are very likely to be removed by the team.

Or don't say so at all, like we've had before.🙂

With all this further Nemesis build up I find it very hard to believe that NST isn’t going to to see some changes to tie itself in with it
Agreed, I would be extremely surprised if it opened exactly the same the original. They'd be missing a trick if they didn't change it to fit with Nemmy's new story.

May 5th would make sense as it's the Coronation Bank Holiday weekend, but time will tell.
 
It depends who these people were. It’s absolutely not unreasonable to suggest that they were staff and have actually said May 5th because it will be May 5th. We’re still speculating but I guess that’s what this is all about. Might see if I can ask someone on Friday 👀
 
The activity at the ride shows it's very close to reopening. We're days, weeks at most to news of it reopening based on what's been going on. My advice would be just let the marketing play out now. There's clearly going to be a lot going on in the next few days with the platform opening, so we'll likely see more (official!) information pretty soon.
 
It goes without saying, Sub-Terra will tie in with Nemesis 2.0 marketing, so when Towers intend to reopen it I feel we will see some fuss made and have some prior warning/an opening date. Rather than it open randomly one Wednesday out of the blue.

Could be 5th May, could be sooner, could be later. Either way we won’t be waiting that much longer it seems.

I think Towers have done the right thing by not marketing it at all so far, no expectations for it to open by a particular day so they can ensure it’s fully ready.
 
If it actually does open on the 5th, that's going into the Coronation/Bank Holiday weekend, so the park may well be expecting more people than usual. Any announcement for that date would have to be soon so it doesn't get buried under stuff about the King.
 
Well currently, in terms of storyline.

The phalanx will need to make some sort of announcement to respond to the leaked footage. So I wonder if they will respond by showing off the new track as seen in the car park.

Inviting you to come inside and see the track undergoing testing. In nemesis subterra. The track isn’t ready for install so keep it nice and fresh inside sub terra
 
I don’t know about anyone else, but based on all the marketing materials around the viewing platform, as well as the video released by Alton Towers to publicise the arrival of new track, I’m thinking that Sub-Terra might have an altered storyline to do with some sort of Phalanx cover-up… previous publicity materials have talked about “Phalanx corruption” and implied towards some sort of Phalanx cover-up, so I think it seems logical that Sub-Terra would be altered to embody this.

That would also line up with the reports that people have heard things coming out of the building that were never there previously… what do you guys think?

I wouldn't be surprised if everything is the same up until the second lift/exit maze section - which I can see being different.
