Ricky Posted August 25, 2014 Report Share Posted August 25, 2014 In that case, why are sections of the volcano green? That's what we call a variety of algae, moss & other vegetative states. True story! The above vegetation love damp porous materials. Hence why the volcano is green. And every normal active volcano is green. paige, InfernoMartin and pluk 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamminGamer Posted August 25, 2014 Report Share Posted August 25, 2014 Get ready for the awesome Nemesis Inferno- Subterranean Experience! Explore the inside of the volcano! See the crisp packets floating around from years gone by and discover where all the ride theming of old is truly hidden! In all seriousness I don't really see them putting in a Sub-Terra style attraction especially after the failure to maintain Saw Alive. Still, new rides are new rides I suppose On another note I've yet to see those crocodile figures in the river I never seem to choose the right direction to look for them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olistjj Posted August 25, 2014 Report Share Posted August 25, 2014 They were really visible at the beginning of the year when the pond had just been cleaned but its difficult to see them now as the pond flora has started to grow a wee bit large again JamminGamer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Altitude Posted August 26, 2014 Report Share Posted August 26, 2014 Thanks for posting Where on the ride is that? After the turnaround? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kerfuffle Posted August 26, 2014 Report Share Posted August 26, 2014 It's on the straight after the final corkscrew (where the onride photo is taken). Sorry the picture is bad quality, but as it turns out, that was also the quality of the video! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamminGamer Posted August 26, 2014 Report Share Posted August 26, 2014 I'll have to look for them next time I'm up there then! Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kerfuffle Posted August 26, 2014 Report Share Posted August 26, 2014 The crocodiles have always come with the ride tbh. I remember there being one just at the bottom of that drop before the helix into the final brake run Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GladiatorFanKyle Posted August 26, 2014 Report Share Posted August 26, 2014 Do the crocs have any thing to do with the theme of the actual ride? cause they shouldnt be at the bottom of a volcano otherwise the lava will kill em Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kerfuffle Posted August 26, 2014 Report Share Posted August 26, 2014 That's not the point. Nemesis Inferno has the theme of a volcano amongst a lush, tropical jungle. The crocodiles do an excellent job of simulating life around the jungle rivers, while also making that particular section of the ride pretty intimidating (Who would want their legs sabotaged by an alligator? ).

c1hrisin Posted August 26, 2014 Report Share Posted August 26, 2014 They also do a good job of hiding the dirty pumps, Colossus should get some crocodiles Kerfuffle 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I enjoy this. This is like the "it's meant to look run down" answer. It's meant to look like it was built to look like, not what nature has made it become due to a lack of TLC Coaster 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricky Posted August 28, 2014 Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 I think it makes it look authentic Although when it rains it does look disgusting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kerfuffle Posted August 28, 2014 Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 Could there be a better way of simulating lava, cos the painted wood chips obviously didnt work out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricky Posted August 28, 2014 Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 Remember, this was 2003, FX weren't as advanced as they are nowadays. I'm sure they could probably do some kind of fibre optics illusions to simulate lava, similar to a christmas tree. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pluk Posted August 31, 2014 Report Share Posted August 31, 2014 The wood chips looked pretty good for a simple little bit of theming for a couple of years, but faded away as they obviously would. Why thay haven't bought a few sacks of each colour to top it up every couple of years I don't know. What would it cost? Couple of hundred quid tops.

TraX Posted September 6, 2014 Report Share Posted September 6, 2014 They did buy new and replace all of it only a few years back. It just won't last obviously. What they should have done whilst jumping on the Nemesis 'brand', is simply add some orange dye to the bubbling river. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Project LC Posted October 5, 2014 Report Share Posted October 5, 2014 Good amount of mist today, it also surprisingly started on 2 trains. The fastrack queue was only filling the back 2 rows, if there were enough people to fill 2 rows. There was hardly any fastrack people today, only the odd people who had wasted their money on a platinum pass. Nemesis inferno was actually pretty quite all day. Only mishap was a lengthy closure and the large ish queue upon its reopening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pickles Posted October 7, 2014 Report Share Posted October 7, 2014 Inferno in the rain right. You would think it would be painful but the worst part is the water run off as you go up the lift hill from the row in front. Kerfuffle 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
