August 31, 201410 yr comment_190344 What worries me is that if this rock face continues to fall apart, a major disaster regarding the water circulation might be inbound, because I think the wall was leaking slightly last time I went...
August 31, 201410 yr comment_190348 The rock is permeable so groundwater flows through it - 100% normal.
August 31, 201410 yr comment_190357 That rock has actually laid there for months - was there last year. The queue was closed due to an issue with a step, but good on TowersStreet for just jumping to conclusions
September 23, 201410 yr comment_192808 So nemesis is on one train operation... Yes it's ERT and it's quiet, but what's going on Alton towers!!
September 23, 201410 yr comment_192817 So nemesis is on one train operation... Yes it's ERT and it's quiet, but what's going on Alton towers!! It only runs one train when there's a problem with the other one.
September 23, 201410 yr comment_192818 I thought Nemy had three trains, enthough I don't think it runs more than two.
September 23, 201410 yr comment_192819 I thought Nemy had three trains, enthough I don't think it runs more than two. Nemesis has two trains only.
September 23, 201410 yr comment_192836 It was on two trains when I retuned near the end of the day! Was annoyed to see air on one station, two trains all day which kept itself at a nice 20 minute queue when the rest of the park was mostly walk on or 5 mins.
November 2, 201410 yr comment_196627 There has not been a Nemesis T Shirt on sale at Alton Towers for many seasons! I know this is an old quote, but I'm pretty sure this Friday/Saturday they had some in what I think was the Air shop (I'm not sure), with just the logo on celebrating 20 years of Nemesis! I know they're properly celebrating the 21st anniversary, but I definitely saw these in a shop, not sure if it was Air though. They looked really nice to be honest. Random I know, but I'd just thought I'd point this out if nobody knew. Apart from that, had my first ever ride (and visit to AT!) of Nemesis on Friday, and wow is all I can say. Definitely one of my new favourite rides ever. We also did back row yesterday and that was one of the most intense ride experiences (on a roller coaster, at least), I've ever had! Loved it.
March 5, 201510 yr comment_204129 I have seen a few rumours flying around that they might do a swarm type backwards conversion with this all because of a picture that said coming soon on it plus with it saying "Neme21s". I think its stupid and people are making things up but I think it would be horrid if it got a mrawS or namtaB conversion. Hopefully its just a celebratory 21st birthday cake...
March 5, 201510 yr comment_204131 Well it is a simple conversion to run the trains backwards. It doesn't need major new parts made like swarm did. I doubt they will run it backwards though, however I guess it is possible.
March 5, 201510 yr comment_204132 It's very unlikely and I hope they don't, after the way the backwards rows on The Swarm have messed up the queue-line and ruined the back row experience of the ride I hope they know better!
March 5, 201510 yr comment_204137 Well to run it backwards I think it would have to be the whole train rather than select rows. Not sure on that but I do believe that is the only way they can do it without having to build new custom parts.
March 5, 201510 yr comment_204139 One such rumour: http://www.themeparkguide.biz/component/k2/nemesis-to-go-backwards Seemingly based upon the fact they've mentioned 'Sit back, it's fright time'. My reaction
March 5, 201510 yr comment_204140 Yeah I think its deffo coming from the "sit back" term used but let's hope this isn't a teaser like the swarms "sting in its tail" sort of thing. But yeah I highly doubt anything will happen, I just thought I'd bring up a rumour I had heard around lol
March 5, 201510 yr comment_204141 Personally I just think its a thing to say nemesis is 21 years old. Sit back its fright time is just its original slogan. Then again why would they have coming soon in the picture.
March 5, 201510 yr comment_204142 That's just the tagline for Nemesis! Was heavily used as the branding back in the day! Not some made up stuff. Maybe they are literally saying Nemesis is 21, and it's coming soon? Why does that photo have to mean anything other than it's turning 21? But let's spark rumours!!!! We know B&M produce backwards chasis for inverted coasters with 8 rows... and Nemesis was on one train over Feb Half Term with the other locked away.... so must be going backwards.
March 5, 201510 yr comment_204146 "Sit back, it's fright time" has always been the slogan for Nemesis!You can hear it at the end of the original 1994 advert:
March 5, 201510 yr comment_204147 One such rumour: http://www.themeparkguide.biz/component/k2/nemesis-to-go-backwards Seemingly based upon the fact they've mentioned 'Sit back, it's fright time'. My reaction well.... we said the loggers tunnel was coming back and no ones believed me... were see who's right on Saturday
March 5, 201510 yr comment_204148 That's why I'm confused where this rumour is coming from as I know that is the original slogan, so I'm confused as to why people think that means something...
March 5, 201510 yr comment_204149 well.... we said the loggers tunnel was coming back and no ones believed me... were see who's right on Saturday For the record - not aiming anything mean at your website; simply just the the rumour in general. True or not, the idea is ridiculous. Turning any part of the train around is a silly idea in my opinion. Nemesis has regularly been a top 10 coaster in the world - why go against all that for a cheap gimmick to try and bring in more guests. Don't they see that Nemesis is in itself a draw enough?
March 5, 201510 yr comment_204150 I know a friend who has a dog who barked in a way that sounded like sisemen so it must be true. Maybe people just don't believe the rumour because it seems so far fetched and is a silly idea (so actually... what with this being Merlin we should be believing it). Just imagine what Wardley would say. "Varney.... what was wrong with it going the right way? Look at this scowl and tell me! You shall regret this!"
