August 25, 201411 yr comment_189699 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.
August 25, 201411 yr comment_189717 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
August 25, 201411 yr comment_189718 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
August 26, 201411 yr comment_189743 What crocodile figures? Can somebody show me a photo? Pleeease? (sampled from Themeparkcapital's POV of the ride)
August 26, 201411 yr comment_189744 Thanks for posting Where on the ride is that? After the turnaround?
August 26, 201411 yr comment_189745 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!
August 26, 201411 yr comment_189776 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
August 26, 201411 yr comment_189814 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
August 26, 201411 yr comment_189818 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? ).
August 26, 201411 yr comment_189836 They also do a good job of hiding the dirty pumps, Colossus should get some crocodiles
August 27, 201411 yr comment_189937 True story! The above vegetation love damp porous materials. Hence why the volcano is green. And every normal active volcano is green. 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
August 28, 201411 yr comment_190006 I think it makes it look authentic Although when it rains it does look disgusting
August 28, 201411 yr comment_190007 Could there be a better way of simulating lava, cos the painted wood chips obviously didnt work out!
August 28, 201411 yr comment_190025 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.
August 30, 201410 yr comment_190255 Could there be a better way of simulating lava, cos the painted wood chips obviously didnt work out! Well they were better than what there is now... (Nothing )
August 31, 201410 yr comment_190310 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.
September 6, 201410 yr comment_191219 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.
October 5, 201410 yr comment_193885 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.
October 7, 201410 yr comment_194070 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.
October 8, 201410 yr comment_194166 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. Pfft. Inferno isn't the worst! You obviously haven't done Stealth in the rain if you think Inferno's trouble!
October 8, 201410 yr comment_194185 Oblivion in the rain is Horrible! As you come back up, the rain hits you like nails!
October 8, 201410 yr comment_194193 As you come back up, the rain hits you like nails! ...while Stealth gives you the experience of being shot at by a miniature firing squad!
